Beat The Heat With FInished Audio Fiction — The End #93
Featuring BIRDS OF EMPIRE & LIARS & LEECHES; + 5 complete series, 3 finished seasons, and 3 season restarts!
With apologies to my readers in geographies where winter approaches-it’s hella hot here. Yeah, yeah… I’m the one who decided to live in Phoenix, Arizona. I’m not looking for your sympathies. Just griping about the heat. Which I will do from now until October. 🥵
A huge thanks this week to Briar for becoming our latest Individual Supporter! Your support helps us keep the lights on around here, and your name has been added to the listing along with our other supporters. Thank you! And if you want to be like Briar-and you really, really want to be like Briar- it’s dirt-cheap to support us!
On a personal note; my mood is improving. I suppose I need to give some credit to adjusted meds. But I think a lot of if is from binge watching crazy animated series every night. If you haven’t seen Scavengers Reign, you haven’t been subjected to the weirdest series now streaming. Doesn’t matter if you watch it high, drunk, or sober. You’ll feel like you are on the trippiest of trips!
Let’s get into it, shall we?
