TRANSCRIPT:
Hello everyone, it's Motzie! You might notice that this is not the new Hi Nay episode for act 3, and you're right. We're making some big changes behind the scenes that are taking some time to finalise, so while we can assure you that new episodes ARE coming this September, for now, we're still setting things up for a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT coming this month.
If you want to take a guess about what that BIG ANNOUNCEMENT is, you certainly can! In fact, we've promised to send people merch from our redbubble store if they guess what the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT is and get it right. Just hop on over to our socials @hinaypod on Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram and Facebook and let us know what YOU think the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT might be.
And of course, it goes without saying, but if you already KNOW what this announcement is, you're disqualified from guessing. Sorry!
We also recently attended Fan Expo Canada and got to perform our VERY FIRST live show, where myself, Abigayle, and Leon - aka Mari, Laura, and Donner - performed in front of a live audience. Huge thanks to the Canadian Podcast Awards who set the show up, and let us run their booth for almost a whole day. It NEVER would have been possible without them. If you wanna check out the full Live Show Video, it's available for all our Patrons on Patreon.com/HiNayPod.
Our Patrons also get free access to other bonus content like our ad-free episodes, bonus audio and video - AND, starting this month, early access to new episodes! Patrons will be able to access episodes 3 days early, and new Hi Nay episodes will be posted at 9pm EST every other Thursday, 3 days before the Sunday premiere.
That's a lot to get excited for, and we hope you follow along on our socials for more information and updates. We also post a lot of cool art, and some memes on the socials, if you're into that sort of thing.
In the meantime, while we get confirmation on the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT date, we wanted to share something for you to enjoy and listen to.
This is an episode from The Night Post, a Southern Gothic-inspired full-cast audio drama about the conscripted couriers of a strange land where the supernatural is commonplace, where the mystic and the mundane are not so easily separated.
The Night Post has been one of our longest time supporters and podcast neighbors, and we're thrilled to bring one of their episodes to you, our listeners.
But we'll let them do the full intro. See you on the other side of that BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! And as always, thank you, we love you, and hanggang sa muli.
