Update: New Spinoff Show Details, Comic Book Now Available! Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

It's been a while, so we thought an update for our listeners would be nice!

After many months since our successful Kickstarter campaign ended and our supporters having received their books, The Day Everything Changed Issue One is officially for sale both physically and digitally in our new Ko-fi store! https://ko-fi.com/riffagemedia/shop

If you missed our campaign, now you can see what all the fuss was about! We hope you'll support independent creators and pick up a copy for yourself or to share with others! We also have some cool stickers that feature John and Sarah as well as ad-free versions of our hit audio drama of the same name.

Who knows, maybe a few random orders will get something extra special in them...

We are also actively editing our new spinoff show of The Day Everything Changed called Sea Sick! It's set right at the beginning of when everything happens and follows the passengers of a cruise ship heading to Alaska. Hopefully that will be released within the next couple of months. We're very excited for everyone to hear it.

Thanks for your support, and feel free to share with others!
