I'd started a whole thread re: pivot to video bad but I was just succeeding in making myself mad so I'm not gonna do it lol
instead, I'm gonna make everyone eLSE mad by asking what we think the definition of a podcast should be. a question that historically has been met with such calm consideration

well this is the first time a post of mine on here has broken containment so a few quicks things:
- I make fiction. video’s not an option for me
- accessibility is a different thing. almost all fiction podcasts have transcripts! also all my podcasts ARE on YouTube just with a static image

anyway, pivoting to video has always been impossible for me bc I make audio drama. doing video would be, uh, making a tv show? and if I wanted to make TV, I would be trying to do that.

I know we probably won't make this last timed goal, but I DO think that things are looking good for making our goal overall!! so help us get there as fast as we can!!!
Our next, and final, timed goal is an AMBITIOUS one! Can we fundraise our entire goal in two weeks? Can we raise 22k by the end of tomorrow?
We always knew this was a big stretch, but let's see how much we can do anyway!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...
