When Kevin and Harley decided to go full-time as podcasters and artists, they knew it was a big risk. Independent media by queer creators doesn't generally pull in the big bucks, but it’s important to them to make the most beautiful and heartfelt work possible and always pay the cast and crew a competitive rate. That’s why we are so grateful to you for considering signing up for The Penumbra Podcast: SPECIAL EDITION, which you can find at thepenumbrapodcast.supercast.com. Depending on the monthly pledge you choose, you’ll gain access to early, ad-free episodes, behind-the-scenes bonus content like scripts and commentary tracks, livestreams with the creators, and more. Plus, starting on October 6, 2024, we will be releasing the audiobook, If Memory Serves: A Juno Steel Mystery, to this new platform ahead of its eventual public release, as a special preview for subscribers.If you are already a supporter over on Patreon, thank you! The new platform will be making the transition over as seamless as possible for you: just head to thepenumbrapodcast.supercast.com/patreons. All subsequent episodes of the audiobook, as well as the entire back catalog of bonus content, will be on the new platform. Make sure you cancel your Patreon subscription afterwards, as everything will be cleared out of Patreon in the next month.If you choose to pledge any amount, please know that you’re not only supporting Harley, Kevin, and the crew, but you’re also helping to grow this community and provide access to those who may not be able to give.
