Hey everyone, it's Alex. The Black Tapes podcast is going on hiatus so we can

wrap up production on the next few episodes. In order to help us get the rest of

season one finished faster, we've started a Kickstarter campaign for our

podcast. For more information on how you can help support the Black Tapes

podcast, please visit theblacktapespodcast.com and click on support the show

at the top of the page. Thank you so much for listening.

Hey everyone, it's Nick here, producer. We understand you must be

disappointed that the Black Tapes podcast is taking a short break. Believe me,

nobody is as disappointed as we are. We did want to give you all 12 episodes at

once and that was our plan, but the time and financial commitment turned out to be

a lot more intense than we could have ever possibly imagined. To be clear, we're

still working on the show. In fact, we recorded some great stuff for episode seven

yesterday. We are definitely going to finish season one of the Black Tapes

podcast, but we're going to finish it a lot sooner with your help. So while we

might not be back with a full episode next week, we are working tirelessly to get

the next six ready to go as soon as possible. Thank you so much for listening to

the Black Tapes podcast.
