Tartarus Update #3: Ko-fi, Production Blog, and 'Gray Matter' Trailer
Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/tartaruspod Production Blog: https://tartaruspod.wordpress.com/ 'Gray Matter': https://www.podpage.com/gray-matter-an-acid-horror-anthology-podcast/about/ *** Hello everyone, I hope you all had a very happy halloween! This is a short update to let you know that Tartarus now has a ko-fi page where you can you can 'buy us a coffee' to support the show. If you're not familiar with ko-fi, it's a great site where you can donate small amounts of money to help out all kinds of creators. We don't actually buy any coffee with your donation! All funds go towards producing our next episodes, such as by helping to pay our writers and actors. I'm also starting a production blog for Tartarus on wordpress. For those of you who are interested, you can follow along on the journey of making the next four Tartarus episodes over the coming year. I'm aiming to write short weekly updates, so please do come have a look and ask any questions you might have about the show! And finally, I'd like to share a new podcast with you: a full-cast scifi-horror anthology called 'Gray Matter'. This is a great podcast with some very cool storytelling and sound design, we're very happy to have done a trailer swap with them! Listen through to the end of the update to hear their description and series trailer, and find a link to listen to the Gray Matter podcast above. Thanks for listening to Tartarus!
