It was a banner week here at The End, thanks largely to Meet Cute, a production company and publisher focused on the romantic side of audio fiction. Seven of the updates below are from them as they work on getting their full catalog listed with us. Welcome! Most of those shows were added to our Love Is In (on?) The Air collection of shows, which is up to 43 shows, with more coming. If you didn't get enough romance in your life yesterday, binge away!
Astute readers will notice our new Title Sponsor—Dupont Investigations. This horror/mystery series, which was co-created by LGBTQ individuals who were each honored as FY '24 DC Arts and Humanities Fellows, recently posted the finale of their first season. It's one of 44 shows added to our Loud and Proud! collection, and we are grateful for their support.
And yes, you too can be a Title Sponsor of The End. Or a Supporting Creative Shop. Or an Individual Supporter. Or, heck, you can buy me a beer if you like!
Seriously. These new collections are quite cool and, I think, a better way to discover additional shows you might like. I'll have new collections to add next week, hopefully.
Let's get into it, shall we?

Evil lived at 18 Hope Street. Then the bulldozers came. Where was evil to go?

But Laney is not the only one who has recently been made homeless…. a house on Hope Street which was inhabited by a malevolent entity was torn down to make room for a new mansion.
