(The above audio provides the exact same info as the written bits below, so pick your poison.)</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Anniversary Shenanigans</h3><p>As you may know, the Hive Mind tends to... <em>misbehave</em>&nbsp;between acts of POA. As we approach the hiatus between acts 3 and 4 —&nbsp;which should coincide with the one-year anniversary —&nbsp;I've enlisted the most devious creatives I know to prepare something even more ambitious than everything we've done before 👀. I'm so so <em>so</em>&nbsp;excited to share it with you all.</p><p>If you haven't already, I'd highly encourage you to join the <a href=\"https://discord.gg/RtTBm37Rnz\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">discord</a>, check out our <a href=\"https://pin.it/3BMYgAi6g\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">pinterest</a>, and listen to the <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0teO7naWt7s9xIPuoik9xz?si=MTQ91P5AQem5z7TYvZFu2g\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">101-song Spotify playlist </a>of songs that have inspired POA. (You should do all these things. Ideally on or after April 2nd. That's all I'll say.)</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Audio Episodes</h3><p>As the audio moves into acts 3 and 4, we're adjusting our release schedule. Both due to Life Craziness (smh, real life getting in the way of Spooky Podcast 🙃) and due to some behind-the-scenes changes to our production process (y'all might have a guess as to why, or... you will soon 🔜 ) episodes will release sporadically for the next two months. Come May and June, we'll be back at it with weekly episodes, and some very exciting changes.</p><p>Thank you for your patience!</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Patreon Tiers</h3><p>We've made a few adjustments to the pricing and content of our <a href=\"https://patreon.com/pointsofarticulation?utm_medium=unknown&amp;utm_source=join_link&amp;utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&amp;utm_content=copyLink\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Patreon</a> tiers! We've modified the pricing slightly, but the main adjustment is that I will now be releasing monthly bonus scenes. Think post-credit style snippets —&nbsp;Loo and Ben, Prime and Nara, Henry and Ash, Naomi and Ben, Kaidan and 'Rite —&nbsp;whatever catches my fancy! These are available at the $5 tier, and each will also be available for individual purchase. As a reminder, if you're signing up to a paid tier, make sure to do so in your browser or a non-iOS device, to avoid Apple's unnecessary price hike.</p><p><br></p><p>That's all for now! Keep ticking along. 🕰️</p>","author_name":"Points of Articulation"}
