I’ve been bacheloring it for the last week as the amazing Doctor Wife has been at a conference in Toronto. Her plane arrives in about an hour, so I’m doing the last-minute household chores so it doesn’t look like a bachelor lived here while she was away! And when I clean the house, I almost always do it while listening to some great audio fiction in my ears. Also, because I listen a lot, the house stays pretty clean. This final sweep shouldn’t take me too long.
I didn’t beg for your financial support in last week’s newsletter, but that didn’t stop PJ@ThePharm for becoming our latest Individual Sponsor! Thank you, PJ. Your support-while it may seem very small-goes a long way in helping make The End sustainable. I appreciate you!
Speaking of that, you’ll notice we’ve a new Title Sponsor! A big thanks to the team at Gen-Z Media for advertising with us. Check out their show, Six Minutes, for a thrilling adventure for the whole family!
You too can be like PJ or GZM by visiting our Support page and choosing an option that works for you. All of it is terribly under-priced, I know, but that’s on purpose to make it easy for more people to contribute!
OK, this house isn’t going to clean itself. Let’s get into it, shall we?

The Angel of Vine • 🫣😮🤯 Dramatized mystery series from E. Ryan Martz, Oliver Vaquer. Produced independently by creators, shared with distributor after original release. I listened to this when it first came out, and I wasn’t convinced it was fiction. It’s incredibly well done and requires zero suspension of disbelief. A great model for others to follow!
