please help a dear friend!

your friendly neighborhood fiction podcasting queen, @podcake (now on a new blog at @cakeradio) is going through a bit of a rough spot. she had to move, her brother’s car got repossessed so she’s out of savings, and her wifi has been shut off, so she’s only on mobile and asked me to post this for her.

her family is doing a huge cross country move and she had to use a lot of her savings to help various members of it pay off some things. anything you can donate, or a signal boost, would be appreciated.

if you don’t already know her, she curates and reviews podcasts (and now more things!) with lovely, kawaii, soft graphics. she’s so important to the fiction podcasting community and we’d love to help her. thank you!

Still curious about how to write a Fiction Podcast? We’ll be doing an Answer Time TOMORROW! Lauren Shippen, writer of The Bright Sessions and Fiction Podcast Competition Judge & AFF Panelist will be taking over our page and answering all of your fiction podcasting writing questions, tomorrow at 2PM PST. 

Feel free to ask anything you’ve been wanting to know about writing, producing, or listening to podcasts. We’ll also be chiming in with some answers specific to the Austin Film Festival.

Archive 81′s co-creator Marc Sollinger wrote an article for The Portalist about, well, the process of writing a horror/fantasy/sci-fi podcast. He also explains the unique power of audio storytelling, the challenges of creating something fantastical through sound, and recommends @arsparadoxica, @thebrightsessions, and @thebridgepodcast. Check it out!

In case you haven’t checked out the Indiegogo lately, here’s the phone background/t-shirt illustration that local artist Laura Nicole Dávila drew up for us! I am IN LOVE with it and can’t wait to get some of these stickers and a shirt for my own purposes. 

As far as the Indiegogo goes, we’re at almost 20% of the goal! If you haven’t already checked it out/shared (and contributed if you can) you can do that here. All of the base goal is going to the audio engineer (based on our current estimates for season 2 length/production cost), which leaves me paying the actors out of pocket, so the sooner we can pass the base goal and start hitting stretch goals the better. Not only do the stretch goals mean more cool stuff for backers (and in some cases, like the remastered version of season one, the public!) – signed script books, anyone? – they also mean that I can pay the actors more. It’s super, super important to me that everyone involved be paid and this is the best way for me to do that right now, so any shares or contributions are extremely appreciated! 

Check out our newest episode, all about our favourite podcast voice actors.

And guess who managed to sneak in a bit of Zombies, Run! stuff! Meeeeeeee!

DID YOU KNOW… - Next week is our season 3 finale? - It’s a flashback? - It’s a continuation of an event you’ve seen before and asked more about? - It answers a lot of questions? - You will probably hate us for the ending? Again?

When I started Story Bake last year, I wrote out a definition for what I wanted the name to mean. To me, the celebration of storytelling is like an informal get together; a meeting of likeminded people who might not always agree on the finer details, but who ALWAYS agree that stories matter and leave a lasting impact on our lives. I think understanding stories is important, and the response I’ve had from viewers has been overwhelmingly positive. Thank you to all of you for watching and sticking with me. Star Wars Month continues later this week with a video about everyone’s favorite hotshot pilot, Poe Dameron. See y’all then!
