Let's goooo I'm so excited for this project and it deserves every bit of your support. Please, if you can't pledge yourself, share it so others can!

The Hi Nay Podcast @hinaypod.bsky.social · 10h

The aim of this project is to ensure Filipino artists, who are historically overworked and underpaid (like, $50 a week underpaid) can get paid for their art, which makes up half of this Kickstarter's goal!

The other half is to cover printing and delivery~

Help us hit 20% before the weekend!

The Hi Nay Podcast @hinaypod.bsky.social · 1d

15%! We're just about to clear 15%! Let's keep that momentum going and make this horror comic happen!

Gotcha, that makes sense! I've definitely seen things where I'm like... I'd love to support but alas, I can't do that much and you don't have any other options 😅 But equally, ones where I've not been able to afford Option 2 but wanted to give more than Option 1!

Monstrous Productions @monstrouspod.bsky.social · 13h

That's super helpful, thank you! When you say bad tier distribution, do you mean just unevenly spaced or too few tiers? (going from £1 to £50 to £100 for example)

While I'm mid-crowdfunding (cough cough support igg.me/at/refrank cough), does anyone have questions about crowdfunding for audio drama? Happy to answer! I've done it a lot.

How long do you think is a good amount of time to crowdfund for? Obviously you want time for word to spread, but you don't want to be dragging on forever. Also, what are some rookie/common mistakes or missteps you see?

On this week's blog, I'm talking about voice and accent, and how I play with different parts of speech to bring characters to life! Read it now on our Ko-Fi 🥰 ko-fi.com/post/Behind-...

Absolutely delighted to see Northern Ireland represented in second place on this prestigious list 😌 And I'm personally honoured to be on a waiting list so long, I'll be almost a decade past retirement age by the time I get an appointment 💕🏳️‍⚧️ What a country! What a world!

pet peeve - videos with information in on-screen captions that pop up while someone is speaking, so that i have to choose between reading the subtitles to see what's being said, or reading the caption to get the information 😫

literally don't know what I would do without crunchy peanut butter, my beloved 💕

Monstrous Productions @monstrouspod.bsky.social · 3d

I'm going for: crunchy peanut butter; mushrooms; broccoli; spring onions; avocado; eggs; noodles; sourdough; some butter; and then my sneaky luxury item is a wee jar of miso.

And now I'm hungry 😅 What would you pick?

a fun game for Sunday evening. you arrive at an AirBnB on a cold wet October evening. what *ten ingredients* would you most like to find they've left for you in the kitchen?

(you also have tea, coffee, sugar, milk, olive oil, chocolate, salt & pepper)

what are your desert-island ingredients?

Would love to chat to some horror influencers/reviews about the Holmwood Foundation. To get Season Two funded we’re going to need a lot of help. Can anyone help? Please like/share!

A screenshot of a podcast script that reads, "The Kronk people make their homes on the grassy plains to the east of Saturn’s largest continent. Unlike most of the cultural groups of Saturn, they are almost exclusively of the same species – the Alien."
