Season 6 (and by extension our Six Arcs episodes) is all done! If you haven't already, search up Six Arcs in your feed and give those episodes a listen. We're all very proud of what we accomplished, and they still represent some of my better work as a producer!
Soon it'll be a lot easier to see what I mean when I say seasons 8 and 9 are bangers from start to finish, or when I reference our Six Arcs stuff in season 6. And once the site is back up and running, you'll have some recommendations for good starting points in our feed!
I'm going through and doing some housekeeping with episode titles, which you might notice if you refresh your feed. I am slowly going through and adding a signifier of what season an episode falls under (I've done S8 and S9 so far) so it's easier to know what we're talking about.

Not to toot my own horn but I'm gonna repost this over here because we've played one of the games in here on the main feed a couple of times and both arcs (39 and 88) were really fucking good. Go listen to them if you haven't, then pick up CF for half off to play it yourself!
Hey, do you wanna play some TTRPGs about horror and sensuality and monstrosity this spooky season? Well, boy do I have a deal for you! Snag my horror anthology zine Creature Feature for half off until the end of the season! harpydora.itch.io/creature-fea...
