We know. We know! But unfortunately, family, due to circumstances beyond our control, we need to push the Black Mouthed Dog finale to Friday, June 17th. Due to power outages in some areas, a couple members of the BMD cast have been unable to record their final lines and get them back to us. They're waiting for power to be restored, and (we hope!) we should be able to get BMD's finale episode to you on Friday.

We thank you for patience, Family.
Sickness and tragedy in the real world have delayed this tale long enough. In the very near future you will know how this chapter of life in Boggs Holler came to an end, and would come from that ending. Soon, Family. Soon.

Family, we have newly remastered episode 0 of Old Gods of Appalachia. It features a few little improvements, including all new post-roll with Steve and Cam! While we would love to upload it here, the problem with that is Patreon won't allow us to backdate posts, so you'd end up with it showing up in your audio feed now, which would play heck with continuity. So please check it out in our public feed, wherever you procure fine podcasts, or just watch the YouTube version linked here on Patreon....
