Please Consider Supporting us via Patreon!

Date:    

Greetings, Dear Viewers!

We’re very excited to announce that our Patreon page is now live. Patreon is a crowd-funding service, similar to Kickstarter or IndieGoGo, but allows supporters of a project to pledge small amounts of money on a continuing basis, rather than just a large sum all at once.

If you’re enjoying the show, we hope you’ll consider supporting us financially. Your money will go towards recording studio time, web hosting, and compensating the people whose hard work makes the show possible. Remember: until such time as someone perfects the alchemy that turns good writing directly into gold, the generosity of fans is the best avenue by far for independent artists and content creators to receive material compensation for their work.

You can pledge as much or as little as you want, down a single cent per episode, and all pledges will be gratefully received. But, if you pledge at least $1 per episode, we have rewards for you! You can score yourself lossless audio of all our episodes, scripts of upcoming episodes two weeks before the episode is released – or even an Associate Producer credit, among other things.

If you can’t spare any cash, don’t fret – we’re very grateful just to have your listenership. The show you know and love (like? like like? casually enjoy? casually enjoy with benefits?) isn’t going anywhere. MP3’s of every episode will always be available for free through all the usual channels. And you can still help us by telling your friends about the show and/or our fundraising efforts.

For more details, head to onceandfuturenerd.com/support, or patreon.com/onceandfuturenerd.

Thank you all so much.

Sincerely,
The Producers of The Once And Future Nerd

Go See Julie in YENTL!

Date:    

Greetings dear viewers!

In addition to all the other awesome stuff that our cast members have been up to lately, we wanted to let you know that the amazingly talented Julie Reed (who plays Jen, among other parts) will be performing the role of Hadass in a Heights Players production of YENTL by Leah Napolin and Isaac Bashevis Singer.

There are performances the next two weekends, and you can get all the important details here. We hear great things about the play, as well as this production of it. So if you’re going to be near Brooklyn, you should definitely check it out. And then you can find out why Julie signed her personal press release about it ‘#yolo’.

Monsters, Pt. 2

Date:    

Seeking somewhere to stay while they await the return of Brennen and Regan, the rest of the party heads for the outskirts of Armstrungard to entreat the hospitality of a former acquaintance of Regan’s. As it turns out, their new host’s house is…of considerably worse repute than Nia would prefer. Once settled in, Billy and Nelson struggle to process the killing they were recently party to. Meanwhile, Jen and Nia stumble upon an unspeakably vile truth, beneath the already grimy surface of their new surroundings.

A Great Review from Rebecca Demarest

Date:    

Exciting news! Author, critic, and designer Rebecca A. Demarest posted an excellent review of our show on her website this morning.

She calls the series “delightful,” with “fully developed characters that translate well through audio.” She’s “hooked and there’s no going back.” Read the full review over at Rebecca’s website.

Rebecca is a talented writer and promising voice in her own respect, so her praise counts for a lot. Her first novel, Undeliverable, is available now from most major e-booksellers, and you should definitely check it out. In addition to her book being a well-crafted, emotionally resonant story about loss, $1 from each sale book goes to The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (Charity Navigator Rating). So that’s pretty awesome.

So thank you, Rebecca, for the kind words, and thanks to everyone else who helps spread the word about our show.

Edit: Full Disclosure – Rebecca occasionally advertises on this site via Project Wonderful.

Monsters, Pt. 1

Date:    

After the foiled ambush on the party by Redmoor soldiers, Brennen fears (correctly) that High King Gunther Guernatal is in danger. So, he makes haste back to Castle Guernatal with Regan in tow, hoping to re-establish the Guernatal dynasty before it’s too late. Little does he know that Ardel Redmoor has already made his treacherous move for the Throne. The rest of the party heads back to Armstrungard to hide out, but Billy and Nelson are deeply troubled by the events of the recent battle. In the west, House Ironhertz – and their tactically advantageous stronghold – falls to the rebel General Traft.
