Hey people, this is Aram.

I wanted to check in and update our listeners about what has been going on behind the scenes of Kill Every Monster. We are currently on our mid-season break and will be back in September with TTRPG designer Connie Chang and the chimerical Chinese creation known as a Qilin.

Patreon supporters will get an early preview of the Qilin episode next week.

Speaking of our amazing supporters, we were recently invited to be part of the Realm network and unfortunately part of that transition meant we had to cancel our Apple Podcasts Subscribers. If you listen to the show on Apple Podcasts, you will no longer have access to ad-free episodes and bonus content. If we cancel your subscription, you will get an automatic refund from Apple.

We are sorry for the hassle and very thankful for your support. We tried to find a way around this, but in the end there was no way to transfer the subscriptions over to Realm.

The good news is that we are gathering bonus content from all of our shows under one Patreon: Dead Ghost Productions. Current subscribers to Kill Every Monster do not have to do anything; you’ll just notice that the name of our Patreon has changed from Kill Every Monster to Dead Ghost productions. You’ll get all of the content we currently post, along with early, ad-free episodes from Of Now And Then and our upcoming DIE RPG campaign, “Replay.”

Dylan and I are excited and a tad overwhelmed by all of these changes, and we thank you for your continued support in making our stories possible. We’ll see you in September for the Qilin, and until then please enjoy this bonus mini-episode: Planet Unicorn.
