Transcript: Hi folks, Eli Ramos, creator of Under the Electric Stars with a couple announcements for you! These are gonna kind of run the entire gambit, but I hope you'll bear with me as I get through messages I'd like you to hear.

First of all, we have indeed resumed production on Under the Electric Stars--but I don't think it's realistic for me at this point to get two episodes out by the end of September. I initially had planned to get an interstitial episode out during August, but I got COVID for the first time at the end of July and then I was knee-deep in editing the Summer of Romcom pieces, which by the way are very good, so if you haven't checked them out on the APN Presents feed, I'll link that in the description. After all of that, I also then injured my wrist and it's really slowed me down in editing and writing and doing anything kind of audio fiction related. Anyways, all that to say that I think the Holy Terrors episode will realistically go out end of September and I'll try to get S2E8 out in October.

Okay, on to the next thing--I was also busy in August with the Patreon Drive! We run a Patreon Drive every summer, this year we bumped it down to August - September, and so if you're listening to this, you still have two weeks to come pledge and support all the shows on Aster Podcasting Network, so you'll be supporting us and shows like Spectral Evidence, Crown Jewels, and SkillSet. We're on Patreon at patreon.com/mxeliramos, that's M-X-E-L-I-R-A-M-O-S. I really love being involved in all of these shows as the Head of Aster Podcasting Network, I love making them, so if you have the means, your financial support goes a long way in making sure that our showrunners, actors, and editor--yes, I do singlehandedly edit all the shows--get compensated for their work. Even if you can't pay us, we would love for you to spread the word about the Patreon Drive and about the shows that you like. Dropping a review or talking about us to your friends and on social media really helps us out immensely and we appreciate the support.

Speaking of support, I also wanted to thank you all for getting us to 20,000 listens! To be honest, I never know if that's like... a lot or a little considering I've been running Under the Electric Stars since 2019, but I still get a little thrill of excitement every time I realize that hundreds of people listen to each episode. Thank you so much for giving our show a chance, for giving us a listen, and for entering the world of Metropolis West and Cair Mallplex. It means so, so much to me as a person writing a story that I didn't think would ever get published if I didn't do it myself. I really feel proud that you all came to listen to it and I hope you're excited to check out more episodes in the future.

That is everything I wanted to say in this announcement--I hope that while we're still getting our episodes ready, you might enjoy other shows on the network, I'll say their names again: Spectral Evidence, Crown Jewels, SkillSet, and APN Presents. And if you really like us, come support us on Patreon at Patreon.com/mxeliramos, that's M-X-E-L-I-R-A-M-O-S. See you in Metropolis West soon.
