More rooms at the inn

Happy Monday folks! 

Remember I said last week that there are some personnel moves taking place? Well, I can now say that we've had to make some fairly extensive renovations to Rusty Towers to fit all the new folks!

As you will have gathered, we've had some production pipeline issues coming into this year as longstanding members of our editing team moved on to pastures new. So we've been on the hunt for some more sound folks to join the crew, not just to manage our existing projects but also to gear up for future work, not least of which is Outliers Season 2.

I'm pleased to announce that joining the editing team is a slew of new audio assistants, notably:
- Annie Fitch;
- Michelle O'Toole (@WhyNotEatCats; reporter for What the Trans! podcast - @WhatTheTrans)
- Maddy Searle (@MaddyAbstract; writer, VA & creator of The Prickwillow Papers - @PrickwillowPod)
- Nico Vittese (@wetalkofdreams; resident composer for RedWing: The Audio Drama, Shadows at the Door, The True Crime Fan Club Podcast & more)
- Tessa Vroom

And while our plans for revamping Patreon have been a bit delayed, we have also added a new member to the production team. We welcome Oliver Morris (@oliverrmorris; one half of Kane and Feels: Podcast Instigators - @kaneandfeels) as Producer for Patreon. His role will be overseeing the production of all the bonus bits, and making sure that we have a steady flow of things to bring to our loyal supporters,

Some other news from the studio - we've just recorded our Hallowe'en Special for #RQGaming. You can look forward to hearing Helen Gould in the GM's chair as she sends our players on a jaunt through Apocalypse World!

Other than that it's a busy month for The Magnus Archives as we gear up for the run to the finale. The last couple of guest actors for Season 4 have been cast, the final scripts are almost ready... and we can't wait to bring you MAG160, airing on 31st October 2019.

That's right (and well done to those who'd already guessed), Season 4 comes to a close on Hallowe'en!

And, here's what you can expect from us this week (all shows release at 4pm UK time):
