Only one show (that I'm aware of, at least) finished in the last week. But that's OK, as I've recently added plenty more finished and finale'd audio fiction shows to our database I'd missed previously. That's what I do, after all!
A big thanks to the team at Netflix (yes, that Netflix) for becoming the Title Sponsor of The End. They've a brand new show coming out called The Seneschal: A Rebel Moon Story, and I'm looking forward to listening when the last episode is published.
Wanna be our next Title Sponsor? It's ridiculously cheap right now. Check out all the ways—currently—you can support The End with incredibly tiny amounts of money. Small donors working together make a big difference, as seen recently in US politics!
Finally, I'm really getting into the swing of making Collections. The two featured in this issue are brand new, and I've one more to create today, hopefully before this publishes. If you've an idea for a clever and helpful collection of finished audio fiction shows you'd like to see, just reply to this email!
Let's get into it, shall we?
