Patrick Meier is too much silly to own outright. He simply has to be shared.

Post-production for Article 2 is well under way on this side of the world. We're looking forward to sharing this one with you soon!
Perform empathy. Please. Perform the fuck out of it. It's so good to act with kindness. I hope it penetrates to a place where you feel it, too, but if you must act some way, act the right way. I'm not here to judge your authenticity, I just want you to be kind, thoughtful, and mortified by meanness.

THATS A WRAP ON CAST FOR ARTICLE #2
Onwards into post production world before we release this chaos once more upon the world.
This one was such a different beast and still so much fun at the table. We hope you enjoy it as much as Article #1.
POV you’re a lovely pint and we’re admiring you - Laura
Making things you like with the people you love is one of the best things in the world - and there is no amount of funding, or lack thereof, that will ever stop us doing just that.
But hey… no such thing as bad press right?

We very briefly touched on the topic of funding when the question was raised, but our only real goal throughout the conversation was to champion the medium and the people that work in it.

Recently we had a lovely chat with the BBC about audio drama as a story telling medium. We talked at length about the creative landscape, the joy of collaborative story telling and how wonderfully supportive the community is on a global scale.
