Image description below the cut

Slide 1: A blue background. In white lettering, a title reads: "Ode to (Trans) Joy” In the centre of the page, there is the cover art for this episode. It pictures green, rolling hills against a blue sky. The cover art has arrows pointing away from it with text coming off them. The text coming off the arrows reads as the following: "1. The importance of friendship and community 2. Based on stories of trans joy from real trans people 3. Small moments of joy are just as important as the big ones 4. Gender euphoria 5. We’re not going to change the world overnight, but there is revolution in letting ourselves feel joy.”

Slide 2: A blue background. There is a design of a piece of paper in the centre of the page. On the paper, text reads: “Six trans people discuss their experiences, all through a positive light.” There is a white cloud design in the background. In the top left corner, there is a Black person with purple hair potting a plant with a little trans flag poking out of the soil. In the bottom left corner, there is a potted plant with its pot in the colours of the trans flag, and a little sign that says “JOY” poking out of its soil. In the bottom right corner is a white person with stubble and top surgery scars. They have dark purple hair and flowers and leaves climb up their body and across their scars.

Slide 3: A blue background. Covering most of the page, there is a design of white lined paper. On the paper, an excerpt from the episode reads: “Venus: That’s why it’s so important for us to talk about the joy we feel in our transness! There are so many people out there in the world who are so against us all the time, and that can be so hard to deal with. It’s so taxing. I sometimes just lie awake at night feeling overwhelmed and just... done with the fact that transphobia surrounds me every day. It’s suffocating. But we’re not going to change the world overnight. That’s not possible. So I think the best thing we can do is let ourselves feel joy, because that’s what they don’t want - or expect - us to feel! Loving our transness is the biggest ‘fuck you’ to transphobia we can give.”

Slide 4: A blue background. In the centre of the page, there is a design of white lined paper. On the paper, the credits read: “CREW: Written by Alex Abrahams. Directed by Alex Abrahams. Audio editing by Zoey Davis. Art by Ari Moloney. CAST: Freddie Thomas as Jesse Stein. Miri Newman as Irene Sweeney. Bridget Guziewicz as Robin Novak. Jaye T as Venus Copeland. Aquila Pullen as Rusty Rubio. Felyx Pozorski as Bryn Walter.” In the top left corner is a feminine-presenting person doing the hair of someone with top surgery scars. On the top right corner is the torso of a Black person with top surgery scars, plants climbing around their body and across their scars. On the bottom right corner are two people lying together, legs intertwined, while reading books. In the bottom left corner is a person wearing a chest binder, smiling and standing in a patch of flowers.

Hello everyone, our show is in the last week of crowdfunding! We're sitting at around 25% of our total goal, and we're also halfway towards first goal of being able to pay our cast and also put out a D&D special.

Which means, to help keep our momentum going, it's time for another bribe!

So, for every reblog this post gets, I'll randomly pick an item from this list of 100 Starfall Topics (including characters, episodes, worldbuilding aspects) and share some trivia or fun facts about them!

Just keep the link moving and we'll keep the trivia flowing. Cheers!

An Update on "Liars & Leeches"

It’s been a while since we released the finale of our show’s first season. Since then, “Liars & Leeches” has been listened to tens of thousands of times in more than 80 countries, and we couldn't be more grateful for the support we’ve received since its initial release. 

Initially, our plan was to begin pre-production and script writing of our second season in the fall of 2023 and release it this year. However, the past year has been a very long one, full of ups, downs, and some big changes in the lives of our cast and crew. Now that the dust has begun to settle, we’ve been digging deep into the pre-production stage of season two, with the writing of the plot nearly complete and work creating the scripts about to begin. We’re very excited to return with new episodes, and we have big plans for this upcoming season, including expanding our season length, as well as the size of our cast.

To help us with our ambitious goals for the second season, we are launching an Indie GoGo campaign. The pre-launch page for the campaign is currently live, and you can sign up there to receive updates when the full campaign launches. There are a host of rewards available for this campaign, including early access to season two episodes, a Q&A form where you can submit questions to both our season one and season two cast and crew, scripts annotated by our creator, scriptwriter, and sound designer, and an original “Liars & Leeches” short story written by our script writer KJ Scott. For more information on the campaign, you can visit the Indie GoGo link above, follow both our blog and and @hemcreekprod, or sign up for the Hemlock Creek Productions newsletter at www.hemlockcreekprod.com/newsletter.  

Thank you again listeners for all of your support, it truly means a lot, and we can’t wait to return with season two in 2025.

Residents of Proserpina Park is a mythology audio drama. It is currently funding season 4 and 5 on Indiegogo. I’m call on all of you to help however you can.

Hello everyone. I’ve got another call to action for all of you. As you might, or might not know, @proserpinapark is currently funding not one, but two new seasons coming out later this year. I’m calling on all of you to do your part to help out.

So, some of you might be wondering what is Residents of Proserpina Park. Why, it is a monster of the week, anime-inspired audio drama. Think like Percy Jackson meets Pokémon meets Scooby-Doo, with a dash of Jackie Chan Adventures thrown in. Throw all that good stuff into the blender, and you’ve got an excellent audio drama.

Residents of Proserpina Park follows a young woman named Alina who discovers a park that is, basically, a nature reserve for mythological creatures. Each episode follows Alina and the gang meeting a new creature from across World Mythology and Folklore. At the same time, they are try to uncover the mysteries of the park itself.

One thing I love about RoPP is shear variety of creatures. We got creatures Filipino Mythology, Māori Mythology, Lenape Folklore, Aztec Mythology, Lithuanian Folklore, and a whole lot more.

Now for a bit about the people who make RoPP possible. Series creator Angela Yih has worked on podcasts for Realm, Pod People, and more. Their credits include shows such as Overleaper, Echo Park, Blood Forest, and Harley Quinn and the Joker: Sound Mind!

The point being, Angela knows their stuff. But not just the technical stuff. They’ve also got quite a few voice acting credits under their belt. Angela has lent their voice to works such as Dreamscape Highway, Mx. Bad Luck, Omega Star 7, and even The Books of Thoth.

And what about the rest of the gang? We are over fifty percent people of color, fifty percent female, and I’m autistic. We have performers from all walks of life, and we’re all very passionate about bringing these mythological stories to life for your listening pleasure.

But okay, what’s in it for you? I’m very glad you asked. You see, you’ve got six different options to choose from. Or you can donate a custom amount with no perks. But if you do what perks, here’s what your options are…

$5 - Tourist

All the shoutouts! Shoutouts on social media, on our website, and in the last episode of season 4 for being an awesome supporter

$15 - Visitor

Early access to ad-free episodes a week in advance as well as all the perks from the Tourist Tier

$30 - Local

A digital copy of the official Residents of Proserpina Park Light Novel, which is a collection of short stories focused on the characters from the show, and all the perks from the previous tiers.

$50 - Member

A physical copy of the official Residents of Proserpina Park Light Novel plus other merchandise and all the perks from the previous tiers.

$100 - Resident

Learn what it’s like to be on the show or work on an audio drama. Work with Angela Yih and be featured in a bonus episode in season 5 as well as all the perks from the previous tiers!

$300 - VIP

Become an executive producer on Residents of Proserpina Park and be credited in season 4 and 5! Determine a creature for season 6 as well as all the perks from the previous tiers.

So far we have raised $696, and I contributed $306 out of that. But you don’t have to contribute as much as I did. Small drops fill the bucket, and every little bit helps. If you aren’t financially able to help, then I would only ask you help spread the word, and encourage others to pitch in. We can all do our part to make season four and season five the best seasons of RoPP yet.

So, you have heard the call the action. Now the ball is in your court. Do your part out to help the Residents of Proserpina Park Indiegogo campaign however you are able.
