Exciting news (and a request)!

THE ONCE AND FUTURE NERD and its cast & crew have been nominated for several Audioverse awards – given for excellence in free audiodrama – across several categories. And you, – yes, YOU! – can help us become finalists, while simultaneously supporting an excellent showcase for independent audiodrama.

Just visit this page to learn how you can vote: http://www.audioverseawards.net/site/

Voting is free. Voting properly will take a bit of your time, but so many excellent shows are featured that we’re confident it will be worth your while.

But don’t delay! The first round of voting is only open until November 17 (if we get enough votes by then we will become finalists).

Thank you, as always, for supporting our show, and thank you in advance for helping the Audioverse Awards do their awesome work.

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
