At this point, you could just pledge to say you think it's a great idea, and the likelihood of kickstarter collecting is so remote as to have this post end up on @fesshole.bsky.social as a way to extort money.
Go on. Three hours of immersive audio. For £18.
hi @juliansimpson.bsky.social (long time listener, fan, and backer!) - any chance of a repost? We're (probably) not going to make our target, but all the help very much appreciated...
(immersive audio/folk horror/serial experiences)
Thankyou John - and, frankly, just what the man said.
At this point, we're looking at other options too, so a pledge indicates interest, appetite, and we'll be in touch regardless.
(of course, if anyone knows someone with sixteen grand knocking about that would help too)
There are only three days left so it's unlikely it'll hit its goal, but there's a Kickstarter ongoing for a series of immersive audio stories set in the Withered Hill universe.

agreed - ego has taken a beating, but we're talking about next steps and George is being marketing-chipper about everything, as one would expect.
"The day before I went into hospital, I wrote out a document for my wife, detailing life insurance policies, bank passwords, that sort of thing, and ending with “bins go out Thursday”.
@davidmbarnett.bsky.social we love you and we're all very glad you're still here.
(And f*ck cancer.)
three days to go - it seems like we're in need of a minor miracle (plan b starts on Monday afternoon), but if you're minded to add your name to the 'interested' list, it's an offer that won't actually cost you anything right now..

(yes, my ego is battered)
this has reminded me of possibly the best book review I've ever seen, an anonymous marxist amazon review of the 1971 children's book "The Elephant and the Bad Baby"
Scratch Moss deserves all the stellar reviews it's going to get. I read it last year and was blown away. It is, as suggested, evidence of a writer hitting their stride and carving out a landscape all of their own.
Buy a copy today. Buy a copy for a friend too.
British library awards suggest regions. Four devolved nations, including north and south England? But yes, it’s pathetic.
It's horrific. It's just loose change.
There are approx 3000 libraries in the UK (maybe 4000). So a handful of books.
I can't find anything from the Government that suggests it's not a total figure. Every news outlet is simply parroting the press release anyway.
will be deleting this one as the labour account is a parody. Much like this government, one might add.
Also - before I do, am I imagining it, or wasn't Baroness Twycross the same person in the 'we're not ruling out an exemption to copyright for AI companies' clip?
I’M SORRY!?! DID YOU MISS A FUCKING ZERO OR TWO OFF THE END OF THAT FIGURE?? @ukparliament.parliament.uk
I’M SORRY!?! DID YOU MISS A FUCKING ZERO OR TWO OFF THE END OF THAT FIGURE?? @labouruk.bsky.social
There's a week left to pledge for The Devil's Sound. We're a little way off our target, but I have faith in all of you.
Don't make us send old Hob a knockin...
www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...
Here's our Friday afternoon call to join us in The Devil's Sound. Three hours of immersive audio, in @davidmbarnett.bsky.social's Withered Hill universe. £18 and you're all in.
(10 days left to pledge. I'll start posting more desparate pleas fom tomorrow)

Six days to SCRATCH MOSS! Post industrial folk horror in the shadow of Thatcher. 69 reviews on Goodreads already:

I was (back) in Grimsby about a month after the vote. Walking down Cleethorpes seafront and confronted by a MASSIVE hoarding proclaiming the humber estuary would soon be home to the largest offshore windfarm in Europe. Their livelihoods literally paid for with EU funding. Overwhelming Leave vote...
11 days now - and everything is on the table.
SFX think we're terrific - and the whole thing will set you back £18. Come on now..

13 days to go (that's lucky, right?) and we're in ths month's issue of @sfxmagazine.bsky.social
(photo as soon as I grab a copy)
Let's see if a late surge can get us over the line..!
www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...
I intend to hang around many comic and movie memorabilia shops in the coming weeks and simply smile enigmatically. If anyone asks, I’ll admit I’m me.
You’re surprised. Imagine my shock.
14 days to go. That's two weeks in old money.
We have everything in place to produce 3 hours of immersive audio folk horror. We'd very much like the opportunity to do something we've never seen done in an immersive presentation before.
