OUR FAIR CITY IS BACK ON THE AIR!

You can listen to it now wherever you get podcasts. As we said- we'll be doing DAILY episodes Monday-Thursday as we go through Season Two, and resume a weekly release schedule when we hit Season Three.

We're planning on doing one for each Season! We'll see how that goes- but that's the current plan right now.

Everyone- please feel free to let us know if you like the creator chats, and what you'd like to hear more of as we go!

RE: the transcript- it is working for me, and the settings look like they should be right for public sharing. Try this direct link, see if that works?

Where is Our Fair City?

Hello, Loyal Policy. This is Producer Jeffrey. If you've looked at the Our Fair City podcast feed recently, you might be wondering - where did Our Fair City go?

We are going to try an experiment - really doing science, you could say! We’re going to put the show in reruns. Our Fair City was originally ran 8 seasons from 2009-2018. And we think the show is still relevant to our world right now. So starting in September, we’ll be rereleasing the show.

You can listen to season 1 right now. It is an hour long single release that gets you right into the complex world of HartLife.

Starting in September on this feed, we are going to release season 2 rapidly in a 30-day period. It’s going to be almost daily. And then starting in October, we’ll be releasing weekly.

So if you think it would be fun to be part of listening to the show along with lots of other people, please join us! Tell your friends! We think it will be a fun journey to take together.

Meanwhile - For anyone who gets into the show and *just can’t wait* for weekly releases. We will have all 8 seasons available, ad free, as part of our membership.

That membership is $5/month and gets you access to all of Our Fair City and also ad free feeds of all our other shows. We’ll also be releasing a lot of Our Fair City bonus content there - things like blooper reels and behind the scenes conversations from when we made the show years ago.

Thank you for listening! We are excited to share Our Fair City with you, so thank you for your patience while we get all the pieces lined up.

And as always - we will see you in the tunnels.

Jeffrey

September 2024 re-release of Our Fair City 

LOYAL POLICIES!

We are going to try an experiment- really doing science, you could say. Our Fair City is going to be re-released!

What? What are you talking about?

The world of audio fiction (and otherwise) has changed a lot since we started making Our Fair City in 2009. Distressingly- the social, political, and artistic themes we were engaging with in the show just keep getting more relevant. We want to bring this show to new listeners- but understand that the long feed and lack of current releases can be a barrier to entry. SO: On August 5th, we’re going to temporarily remove the episodes from the podcast feed. Starting in September 2024 on the existing feed, we are going to release seasons 1 and 2 rapidly in a 30-day period. It’s going to be almost daily. Starting in October, we’ll be releasing episodes weekly. We hope you will be excited to listen along with us as it’s released again!

But I love Our Fair City and I can’t stand to wait to listen to it! What do I do? For anyone who gets into the show and *just can’t wait* for weekly releases, we will have all 8 seasons available, ad free, as part of the Audacious Machine Creative membership starting in September. Membership is $5/month and gets you access to all of Our Fair City and ad free feeds of all our other shows. You also get some fun Our Fair City bonus content - like all of the ringtones we produced while the show was originally releasing. Check out more about becoming a member here.  

Loyal Policies: the Our Fair City webstore will be closing in October 2019!  If there are any last pieces of merch you've been wanting to pick up- now is the time!
