Hello Dirt followers and fans. Kris here, creator of the show with another production update to share, and this one has some really exciting news in it. We're finally ready to launch Dirt's fourth and final season. And the first day you'll be able to hear the newest episode is October 3! So if you're hearing this on the day this update went live, that's a little less than two weeks from now.

I know some of you have discovered and binged Dirt from start to finish only recently, while some of you have been waiting for up to a year for the story to continue. If you're in the first category, we are super glad to count you as a new fan. If you're in that second category, I just want to say thank you for your awesome patience. I'd love to say producing an audio drama is easy, but it isn't, especially when it's mostly a nights and weekends project like Dirt is. And this upcoming season has almost twice as many episodes as Season 1 does, so yeah, there's a lot of recording and sound design to do. But we're finally at a place where I feel comfortable starting to get new episodes out there, to continue this story and see it to the end.

So, on that note, the episode release plan for Season 4 is something like this: One new episode will be available more or less monthly. And I say more or less because some episodes might come out sooner than a month, and some might take a little longer. But rest assured, the entire final season is fully written, the actors are commissioned, and you will definitely get to hear all 11 final episodes to finally wrap up the series.

So once again, look for the newest episode to drop in your podcast feed on Oct. 3, and then look for additional new episodes to drop more or less once per month after that.

I know it's easy to forget some of the tiny story details when you haven't listened in a while. And some of those tiny details might be really important. So if you need a plot refresher, you can find written summaries for all three previous seasons on the website. Just go to dirtaudiodrama.com/helpmeremember. The page is password protected, because spoilers, so if you want access to it, just type the word "coins" in the password window, all lowercase.

Finally, I'd like to thank all the actors--those who are returning and those who new--for their continued dedication and enthusiasm for this super fun project. And a huge thank you to my wife Sara for her support and contributions to the show as well.

The season 4 storyline will revisit many familiar locations and travel to some new ones. So, buckle up! Get ready for more twists and turns, big reveals, strange dreams, and, oh yes, more shenanigans from that vintage Coinmaster.

Thank you so much for being fans of Dirt, and see you back here on Oct. 3.
