Today we wanted to let you all know about Paul Notice (Nelson, Antonin, Smith) and his project The Notice Blog.

But now through Feb. 5, they’re running a Kickstarter campaign to buy equipment and advertising so they can put out weekly content.

Take a look, and help The Notice Blog out if you can!

Oh and he was also a martial arts instructor in the United States Marine Corps. So yeah, it was interesting conversation.

The Singing Sister is Available Now as a Single

Date:    

Remember the song that Arlene sang to Gwen back in Chapter 6 and again in Chapter 9? We know at least some of you do, because you wrote in to tell us how much you loved it, and to ask whether it was available as a standalone track.

Well…it is now! We re-recorded it with a new arrangement and live instruments. Head over to onceandfuturenerd.bandcamp.com to purchase it for $1 (or more if you’d like to be very kind. Patreon subscribers, check your Patreon feed for a coupon code to save 50¢.)

And for today’s bonus content, we talked to the talented folks involved for insight into making the song.
