Hey everyone, Alistair here. Hope you're doing okay. The summer months are upon us,

which means two things. I need to wear more hats and this is the part of our year when

costs are high and support tends to dip. We know, believe me, things are tight everywhere

at the moment and unfortunately, that includes us. For those of you who support us already,

thank you so much. We hope you're enjoying the great new Cat's Cast episodes and all the

Super Pod Extrusions. If you don't support us but you would like to join them, we've got tons

of options for you and both Patreon and Paypal. Even a one-off at Kofi makes a big difference. Or,

if you're in the market for some sweet new summer wardrobe, we have a new swag store.

Care to see of our amazing friends over avoid merch and the t-shirts are unbelievably great.

It all adds up, it all helps. And it all helps us bring you the best and free audio

fiction every week. So, if you can help out, please do and thanks and do enjoy this week's episode.

Welcome to Sudapod, the weekly horror podcast. We will show you fear in a handful of syllables.

Go forward at your own risk.
