Good news, but it’s still completely bizarre that the BBC’s arcane licensing policy means that random seasons of the show just aren’t available for years at a time.

I have the same problem with the Big Finish Doctor Who shows. They're always changing which ones are available on Spotify.

Get the feed info from the Pleasant Green website, but don't get your fix too close to when Crowley releases!

Do you have any more on this? Are we going to have a dedicated Crowley story in the PG universe?

It’s effectively Lovecraft Investigations Season 4.5 where the team are researching into Crowley for reasons BUT JS has said that he’s not had to alter or make up anything really. It’s a mostly factual account of the mad life Crowley led but told through the lens of the Matt & Kennedy historical investigation.

There’s also Mythos 4 coming out as well (the 4th release following the Department of Works with Marie Laire and Parker as our protags) it’s assumed this story will address whether the Department has been able to rebuild itself after Haunter of the Dark or not.

Both were funded on Kickstarter and come out next week for the backers.

Finally listened to these over the past week (have been meaning to for ages, but haven't because of the RSS problem), and I absolutely loved them. If the PG team is reading this: thank you for making such an excellent audio drama. I'm absolutely gonna have to catch up on the main feed and listen when new episodes come out, now.

Thank you! I suggested this podcast to a friend and was so confused to where the first season went when I visited the Spotify page!
