A message from Casper Oliver about the return of Jar of Rebuke podcast. 🦌🗝👻

This message has been a long time coming, and I think I’ve finally fully accepted the reality of my situation.

I haven’t been doing well.  My work has put me on medical leave for my ongoing mental health crisis. During all of this, I’ve tried to keep up with everything else around me, continuing to spin all the plates of obligations. No matter how exhausted I’ve been, I’ve tried to keep up with work, chores, drag, podcasts, vending, emails, and other Thesperience-related projects… but I’ve been unable to keep up.  Slowly but surely, I’ve been putting down the plates as I try to take care of myself.  No drag shows, no murder mysteries, no live streams, and no script writing.  I’ve been stepping away from anything that isn’t focused on my mental health journey.  

It took a message from a social media friend reaching out to give some encouragement, including telling me about their experience with “Jar of Rebuke”. One of the things they said was that Jar of Rebuke and Jared helped them (and others) realize that it’s okay to not be okay…

Wouldn’t it be hypocritical of me to not take care of myself when I'm writing Jared’s journey of self-exploration and breaking free from unhealthy habits, restrictions, and connections?

So, I’m going to practice what I’ve preached.  As excited as we’ve been about returning in October, unfortunately that will have to be postponed.  I need time to step away from as many obligations as possible so I can focus on my recovery.  

“Jar of Rebuke” season 3 will be debuting in 2025!  This will give me and other cast & crew members to focus on ourselves and our health, both mental and physical.  We also hope that anyone else going through a hard time will take the time they need to take care of themselves.

The world is so much better for all y’all being in it. <3

If you’re looking for more entertainment during this extended break, we encourage you all to also check out our cast & crew members to see whatever other cool stuff they’re involved in!

We just gotta be patient with them... Jared's doing their best. 🗝 We've had a little too much fun making these. 🤣

Image ID: tumblr post by wizardpostsdotorg that says: "hi sorry for ghosting you I'm being tormented by psychic horrors beyond your wildest comprehensions". Below this is a drawing by artist @ollieartie of Jared Hel surrounded by shadowy arms. Jared looks clearly distressed and dissociated.

Did y'all know that Jared’s writer/va made a Pinterest board for Jared? 👀🗝🦌📼

[jarofrebukepodcast]

Starting off the day with some Dr. Jared Hel! Everyone's favorite immortal, amnesiac cryptoziologist. 🗝 We hope to do more of these with different characters throughout the series.

2015 can't come soon enough

Did you mean 2025? If so, thank you! We're really looking forward to our series returning, we hope it can bring some sort of joy, distraction, hope, or whatever else people need from it!

We're a community, and we'll stick together as such. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ We're here for our community.

I finally started listening just a few days ago after it had been on my list for months

I have less than 10 episodes before I finish all released episodes so far!

Can't wait to see more

I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the story so far!! We're hard at work on future seasons, so we hope you'll continue to join us~! :)

[jarofrebukepodcast]

New episode just dropped??? Whaaaaaat? 👀

[jarofrebukepodcast]

"Folks in Jared’s life are showing concern about their recent absence and overall behavior. What kinds of messages do they leave? Will Jared call anyone back?"

We're officially returning! This episode will be live to the public on July 31st, though monthly supporters of $5 or more can listen to it NOW!

A HUGE thank you to all of our Patreon supporters for supporting us monthly as we continue to make this art. Also a huge thank you to the amazing people at Trans Justice Funding Project for helping fund our works this season!

Sometimes, letting it out and talking with a loved one is what you need for a revelation. Jared and Dax have another eye-opening heart-to-heart.
