A special message from HP Lovecraft: WE'RE CROWDFUNDING for Season 2 now at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-midnight-pals-podcast-season-2/x/20621044#/
We've opened crowdfunding for Season 2 of Submitted for the Approval of the Midnight Pals at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-midnight-pals-podcast-season-2/x/20621044#/
Based on our experiences of Season 1, we've set a flexible goal of $6,000 to cover paying our actors, cast and crew at bare-minimum indie rates; if we outdo that goal, we'll increase everyone's pay proportionately. Perks range from a credit in the show notes or on air, to a pretty PDF containing all the Season 1 scripts with commentary and annotations from the writers and cast, to commissioning an episode based on an author or work of your choice! We've got some bangers of scripts lined up for this season and we're excited to be making them. For full details, including the titles of the eight episodes we've got lined up (with two more if we reach our stretch goal of $12,000), see our indiegogo page.
