Transcript of audio: Hello! Kale here with some post-season announcements. I promise I won’t take up too much of your time. Before I get into it, I’d like to thank everyone for listening to season two of SINKHOLE- I really can’t overstate how much it means to me that so many people are listening to and enjoying my weird little show.And speaking of season two, I’m going to be doing another Q&A like the one I did after season one! So if you’d like to submit a question, you can do that via the SINKHOLE website, sinkholepodcast.com- there’s a button on the front page labelled “Season 2 Q&A Form,” just above the list of content warnings. The other thing I wanted to mention is that you probably shouldn’t expect the same turnaround on season three as you got on season two- I’ve got a lot more on my plate than I did before, and continue to be a full adult human with a full-time job, so I can’t promise another nine-week turnaround. Speaking of having things on my plate, I wanted to recommend you a podcast to listen to while you’re waiting for season three- the Bloody Disgusting network is releasing a brand-new show in collaboration with Canadian horror artist Trevor Henderson- who some of you may recognize as the creator of Sirenhead.Mayfair Watcher’s Society is a found footage-style horror anthology podcast taking place in a world much like our own, but in which the appearance of interdimensional beings is, while not extremely common, not an altogether strange thing. You can look forward to episodes written by folks like Ben Counter, Addison Peacock, Meg Tuten, Henry Galley, Gus Zagarella… and Kale Brown. I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to join this project, and it’s been incredibly fun, so I sincerely hope you’ll check it out when it comes out in October. I’m gonna leave you with the Mayfair Watcher’s Society trailer, but first: stay safe and try not to fall into any holes. [Mayfair Watcher’s Society Trailer Audio]

The city government has never been a friend to the Sink. Even before it was the Sink. Back when it was just… that spot between downtown and the south end you drove through to get where you were going. Back when it was “Rocky Heights.” Written and produced by Kale Brown.

Is that audible? It’s definitely audible. There’s a demonstration going on- people protesting the, um, evacuation request.In other news, I… made someone mad, which you might’ve seen coming.  Starring Emma Johanna Puranen (@spacesword13) as Wendy Laramie. Written and produced by Kale Brown.

I was told something this morning. And now I’m going to tell you.I don’t think I’m supposed to do this, but I do think it would be best if members of this community were to hear this from me before you start finding out from other people and panicking. Written and produced by Kale Brown.

This didn’t happen because I wanted to teach you all a lesson, it happened because people are like this sometimes. I talk about this stuff because people do things like this, not the other way around. Some people… just can’t seem to shake the grift. It’s got roots in their bones, I guess. Written and produced by Kale Brown. Artwork by Kale Brown. All music and sound effects used are available under a CC0 license. Music was ‘Sphere’ by Andrew Kn.
