Let us start this newsletter by saying THANK YOU!!! As of yesterday Bitcherton Season 1 is FULLY FUNDED which means this hilarious, wonderful, regency-inspired podcast is officially coming to life!
We’ve already begun the next steps of scheduling recording sessions, brainstorming characters for all our incredible guest stars and working up scandals worthy of Lady Bigg-Wither’s pen. But in the meantime, the Bitcherton Kickstarter is still live for another few days—which means we still have time to reach for the stars and potentially hit some of our stretch goals.
$40,000 - FEATURE-LENGTH HOLIDAY SPECIAL!
Like any good BBC programme, Bitcherton needs a supersized holiday special. And every good holiday special needs a very special guest…maybe one that’s been here the whole time? You guessed it! Our first stretch goal is a feature-length holiday episode with guest star Sam Reich, the host of Game Changer and CEO of Dropout. Trust us when we say the holidays at the Bitcherton’s are nothing if not entertaining.
$50,000 - ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK!Â
If you liked our original theme song by BE/HOLD then just wait to see what he can do when he scores our ENTIRE SEASON! (If you’re itching for more BE/HOLD right this very second, you can check out his other Many Sided Media originals here.) We’re talking character themes with crescendos every bit as dramatic as Lady Bigg-Wither’s latest gossip.
Every contribution that puts us further over our goal means bigger and better things for both you, our listeners, and us, the cast and crew—including our spectacular list of guest stars. And what a list it is!
