Rusty Quill Network Announcement

Hey everyone, Alex C. Telander here; creator and writer for Ostium. And it gives me great pleasure to announce that the Ostium Podcast is now officially part of the Rusty Quill Network. When they got in touch with me over a year ago and we began talking, it didn’t take me long to know this would be the beginning of a beautiful partnership and friendship. Rusty Quill aligns with Team Ostium in values and representation, and we’re honored to be included with all these wonderful shows on the Rusty Quill Network. 


What does this mean for the Ostium Podcast? Well, nothing is really going to change. We’re still going to be making the show in exactly the same way we have for the last five years, and Rusty Quill will be helping with hosting and promotion and getting Ostium into more people’s ears. 


And I would just like to welcome our new Rusty Quill listeners. You’ve got five seasons of Ostium to enjoy, plus a bunch of bonus material. And we’re working hard on season six right now which we’re hoping to get released later this year. But I also have something else in the works to keep everyone entertained coming late summer if season six isn’t ready yet. I came up with an idea for a miniseries that’s now turned into a potential long-running bonus series called the Ostium Sagas. So that’s something to look forward to later this year. 


And just a quick mention of our Patreon, where you can get access to the Ostium Sagas in the very near future, as well as a lot of bonus content on there, including ad free episodes to all the Ostium Network shows. Once again that’s patreon.com/ostiumpodcast.


Okay, thanks for listening to this update, and again we’re really happy to be with the Rusty Quill Network, and if you want to hear more about how this all happened, I’ll be talking in detail in the next Writing Walks episode, which is my writing podcast available wherever you get your podcasts.


Thank you listeners, old and new, and may you always find your door.
