Here’s your next audio fiction fix: The End Up & The Imperfection + 4 season finales, 2 complete series, and 5 new seasons coming soon! 🎧😌 The End #32
Greetings, fabulous fan of audio fiction!
Would you help me with a tiny bit of your time? I’ve put together a survey to help me gain a better understanding of, well… you and your relationship with The End. Best of all, it’s only six questions long!
This is NOT your standard demographic info-gathering attempt! In fact, all the demographic questions are optional.
So pretty please, with all the sugar and cherries you need on top, take the survey. I appreciate you in advance!
Let’s get started!
