Just around the corner

Hi folks,

We hope that you have had a wonderful week. Here at Rusty Towers, we continue to be very busy. Even though we had a two-week break on the public feeds, we’ve continued to work on a lot behind the scenes. Thanks to feedback from everyone in our production team, these breaks are accounted for right from the beginning of working on a podcast and allow the team to comfortably work on all our shows. In our regular, whole company meeting last week, one thing was particularly clear – how excited we all are for the next few months: there are some pretty huge things on the way.

Thank you so much for all of the excitement you shared with us about the digital premiere date for The Magnus Protocol. We are hoping to share a much more detailed update on the project in the next few weeks. If you missed our last Kickstarter update, you can read it here on Patreon. It’s not just Magnus however: we have the ARG, a brand-new show with Neon Inkwell in the works and the final half of Cry Havoc! Ask Questions Later.

Speaking of Cry Havoc, it returns to the feeds this week with episode 11. Octavia, Antyllus and Lepidus are still trapped on the ship of the dread pirate Sextus, but they’ve found their own – unique – way to keep themselves amused. Meanwhile, Mark and Gaius still cannot agree on how to rescue their family members (and Lepidus). Cleopatra is on her way to help mediate discussions, but where has Charmian got to? Cry Havoc is back on its usual schedule now, with an episode releasing each week on Tuesdays to Patreons at Knights and Noble tiers, ad free and 48-hours ahead of the public drop.

Meanwhile on Friday we’ll be sharing Part 2 of Meet the Actors, featuring stars of Cry Havoc! Ask Questions Later Lara Sawalha who plays Cleopatra, Sarah Lambie who plays Octavia, Andy Secombe who plays Lepidus, Beth Eyre who plays Fulvia, Aaron-Louis Cadogan who plays Antyllus, Sarah Agha who plays Charmian, Harry Roebuck who plays Gaius and Kazeem Tosin Amore who plays Mark answering questions about their experiences working on Cry Havoc and more. If you didn’t listen to part one, you can find it here on Patreon.

Here is our full schedule for this week:

Tuesday 15th August

ROME 11 – Workshop (Patreon) (4pm BST)

Thursday 17th August

ROME 11 - Workshop (Public) (4pm BST)

Friday 18th August

KNIGHTS+ bonus – Backstage: Meet the Actors Part 2 (Patreon) (4pm BST)

Have a good week all!
