      Welcome to  Skyjacks: Courier's Call - Season 2!
    ______________________________________________

    ANNOUNCEMENTS!

    Timeskip
    The first part of this season picks up after a bit of a time jump. Its been a little over a month since our heroes left Otterbachs and they've stopped at two other locations (port of call #2 and #3) along the six month route of the Red Audron. There were some adventures, some growing pains, some thrilling heroics and even a run in with the infamous Jolly Jack as well as most of their time in Tesh Urt but all that is behind us as our heroes experience their last night in the city before heading out. 
     

    If you've enjoyed the show, liked what we've done or just have feelings about this season, feel free to tell us at [email protected] or to leave us a review on itunes!

  • A Special Message from the Squad!

    Audio Editor's Note: We're so thankful you are excited to hear Season 2 - and we can't tell you how excited we are to give it to you very, very soon! This delay is unfortunately taking place due to a loss in the family of our fearless narrator Drew. Our thoughts, prayers, and love are with him right now.  <3

    We hope you will all be patient with us and will accept this 'teaser' in the meantime which almost completely ignores the fourth wall. The kids aren't really sure how podcasts work. Thank you as always for being with us on this journey!

    See you in Tesh Urt!
