Kickstarter/Backerkit Closing
9 months ago – Sun, Jul 16, 2023 at 10:47:46 AM

Hello Awesome Backers:

Thank you so much for backing this project. For those who have not filled out your surveys, this is to let you know that I will be closing this Kickstarter on August 31, 2023. After that date, I will no longer be fulfilling rewards as it will have been over a year since everything was shipped. So, please, the few of you who have not filled out your surveys, please do so ASAP. If you need help finding your Backerkit survey, please let me know, and I will help you.

As for our next season, that is still in flux, but I will let you know what is going on if anything changes.

Thank you for understanding.

Have a great summer.

Best, Madeleine

Boston Metaphysical is Back on Kickstarter!

Hello Awesome Backers:

For those of you who are interested, we are back on Kickstarter to print the first two issues of our new four issue graphic novel mini-series, Boston Metaphysical Society: Mystery at Pikes Peak.  With a brand new art team and variant covers, there is a lot to look forward to in this brand new adventure as the team heads off to Tesla's Experimental Station in Colorado Springs. Here are the covers for #1 and #2 by Angela Wu.

We have some limited reward tiers, so you might want to hop on this now.

AUDIO DRAMA NEWS

As for any new audio dramas, right now life has overtaken myself and my production team. I know we all want to do another one, but carving time out has been difficult. Hopefully, we can figure out something this year.

Wishing you all the best,

Audio Verse Awards and Discover Pod Awards
over 1 year ago – Mon, Oct 17, 2022 at 01:42:16 AM

Hello Awesome Backers:

There  are a number of awards for audio fiction out there. Some require fan votes while others have selected judges. The following two (Audio Verse  Awards and Discover Pods) are fan supported, and we could really use  your help in getting Boston Metaphysical Society: The Ghost Ship noticed.

Please check out both the Audio Verse Awards and Discover Pods and vote!  Thank you.

Audio Verse Awards

I'm happy to announce that Boston Metaphysical Society: The Ghost Ship has been nominated for an Audio Verse Award! Yah! Voting commences from  now until Oct. 30, 2022. Voting involves ranking nominees (e.g., first  choice, second choice, etc.) across two questions for new and existing  nominees. You will be asked to rank at least one (1) nominee in each of  the two categories, but beyond that, you may vote to rank as many as you  choose.  (Note: Voting is much easier than the instructions make it out to be.) 

 I  hope you will consider voting for BOSTON METAPHYSICAL SOCIETY: THE GHOST SHIP.

VOTE HERE

Discover Pods Nominations

Discover Pods Awards nominations are open through November 5 at 5pm PT.

The Discover Pods Awards are the largest annual fan-voted podcast awards recognizing the very best in podcasting. After  nominations close, a group of podcast fans and critics sift through the  nominations to narrow down and ultimately select the finalists.

New Artist and Season 2
over 1 year ago – Sat, Oct 08, 2022 at 12:32:13 AM

Hello Awesome Backers:

For those of you who follow the graphic novel, we have a new artist on board! Her name is Elisabeth Mkheidze, and she will be the artist for Boston Metaphysical Society: Mystery at Pike's Peak, a four issue mini-series. And Tesla will be back! I'll be sharing art later, but here are her character sketches for Samuel, Caitlin, Granville, and Alma. For those of you who have not read the graphic novels, Alma is introduced in The Spirit of Rebellion. Here are the sketches:

FUTURE SEASONS

Chip, Eddie  Louise, and myself have been talking about a season two for the audio drama. We are thinking about going into pre-production next year for a release date of 2024.  I'm pretty sure all of the original cast is interesting in coming back depending on their schedules. Story, budget, and other timelines still have to be worked out. 

So far we've had over 1000 new listeners come on board through various podcast platforms and over 2000 downloads from 73 different countries! That is very exciting. 

As usual, I will keep you posted on our progress. 

Thanks so much for backing the project. 

Best, Madeleine

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE!

Hello Awesome Backers:

Ug, sorry for the inconvenience... Unbeknownst to me, the podcast platforms are not all review friendly; however, if you have iTunes you can rate/review and with PlayerFM and can give a "like," by clicking on the heart next to the episode.  On Spotify and Amazon Music, you can "Follow." 

BUT it looks like you can easily leave reviews on Podchaser.

Here's the link again to Apple and the other platforms: https://boston-metaphysical.captivate.fm/listen

Once again, my apologies for the inconvenience.

Best, Madeleine
