The Vesta Clinic

Hi all! Just an announcement to let you know that we have planned a midseason break after episode 25! We have two fun little bonus stories to bring your way and will aim to record a Q&A to answer any burning questions you might have about the show so far! 

Submissions are open! Get your ideas for S3 together and send them our way! 

Transcript: 

Hello lovely listeners, AMC here. We hope that you’re having fun with season two, and we’re either so grateful that you’ve stuck with us after such a long break between seasons OR delighted that you’ve joined us as a new listener.

During the break, we will be bringing you 2 new bonus episodes and we’ll arrange a little mid season Q+A so we can be really annoying and refuse to spoil anything about the rest of season 2! I’ll share the details for how to submit questions on our social media in due course, we’re most active on Tumblr, Bluesky and instagram in that order and our handle is @vestaclinicpod. 

And just one last thing! We are turning our hearts and minds to season three and I’m delighted to re-open the submissions form on our website. If you’re a little alien and you need to speak to one of our team - please get in touch! I can’t wait to share the rest of the submissions from this season with you, there is so much fun stuff to come! 

Lots of love, stay safe and please enjoy the rest of S2!
