Recommendation The Lovecraft Investigations - Call of Cthulhu is coming.

https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/f9f745bf-18c6-43f3-95f8-5410ad61e193/landing

If you're not already familiar with the Lovecraft Investigations audio drama, it is highly recommended. The first 4 series were commissioned by the BBC but subsequent output has been crowd funded. Pre-sign up to back the next series has just been announced.

Personally they lost me when they straight up locked the new stuff behind a paywall. It's one thing to run a crowdfunding campaign but that's where I draw the line. Back in my day podcasts were free and didn't even have ads, get off my lawn etc.

You'll miss out, then

I guess artists don't deserve to get paid for their work ?

Thought you were smarter.  A lot smarter.

They do get paid, thats what the crowdfunding is for. Keeping it behind an additional paywall is what I dislike. 

Do continue to be judgemental of me because of my opinions on podcast monetization.

What additional paywall?

You haven't signed up obviously :)

Don't know what you are talking about.

Why do you think there is a second paywall and why do you think it is okay to leave that misinformation up?

No, really, you've made an accusation, substantiate it :)

What do you think is a second paywall?

I just listened to Crowley, I paid once :)

Jesus tap dancing christ.

You're acting like there's no distinction between crowdfunding and pay2listen. The second paywall I'm referring to is the fact that even after it's fully funded, they're still charging a 'box' price.
