Hello everyone! Welcome to the Escape Artists Patreon!

ABOUT US

Escape Artists Inc. is the publishing company behind Escape Pod, PodCastle, Pseudopod, and Cast of Wonders. Over the past twelve years our donors and subscribers have brought you the best in free weekly audio genre fiction each and every week. Our four shows total over 1800 episodes, and reach an average of half a million listeners a month.

WHY WE'RE HERE

To provide a way for listeners who don't use Paypal to support us.
To continue our mission of paying everyone involved with our shows - authors, staff, and now narrators.
We want to start experimenting with generating non-fiction content. And to do that, we need your help.

Patreon gives our audience a flexible new support option, and another way for listeners and fans like you to help provide a steady source of income. Our episodes will always be available for free on our websites, but we rely on donors like you to make that happen. As always, every dime goes towards paying our creators, feeding our servers, and bringing you more great audio fiction.

STARTING SLOW

This is new for us, and we want to hear from you about what you're looking for. We're starting with a few goals that represent the pillars of what we stand for - paying our contributors, and staying true to audio publication.

Publisher and veteran nonfiction writer Alasdair Stuart, and Karen Bovenmyer, of the much-missed Mothership Zeta, are hard at work on preparing some great nonfiction content, focused on introducing newcomers to the fascinating and often bumpy landscape of genre fiction. With your help, in time they want to create a new monthly podcast helping readers and fans learn more about the industry and take their first steps into volunteerism, genre-adjascent academia, and writing professionally. This can be an overwhelming industry, especially if you're new. It's a cocktail party crossed with a minefield, moving at an unceasing pace. But don't worry, Alasdair and Karen have a plan...

QUESTIONS?

Come ask Alasdair on Twitter.

THANK YOU!

Your support means everything to us and we're excited to be joining Patreon!
