Just a quick PSA - our launch of Chapter 6 picked up a few audio issues which we hadn't properly anticipated, so we've been working with our amazing VAs (who are brilliant and very understanding) to get them fixed for Chapter 7.
All of this means that Chapter 7 needs a bit longer in the oven, so we're unfortunately going to have to push the release date back a bit. We're now hoping to get it to you by Monday 5 April.
But we don't want you to go t...

We just wanted to share some really exciting news this morning - we've hit 5,000 listens for The Silt Verses across all platforms!
Thank you so much for listening, supporting the show, and just generally being really fantastic in your feedback and comments. We're really appreciative, and we can't wait to hopefully share many more milestones with you as they come.
We received a suggestion that it might be easier for some listeners to experience to the podcast on here directly, where the podcast apps may not be working as well.
So we're just retrospectively adding Chapter 2 so it's hosted on Patreon (Chapters 1 and 3 should already be appearing in their respective release posts. We'll always upload the audio files directly going forward, rather than linking to them.
Thank you, and happy listening!
