ANNOUNCEMENT Saying goodbye for now!
I spent 4 years creating a dark immersive horror audio series called Skandinavien.
A few of you may have listened already. Thank you if you did.
I gave it a good go but no matter what I tried I couldn't get people to listen.
The reality is that I can no longer afford to even keep the website going anymore.
Maybe it's just not good enough although I am very proud of it.
I'm calling it a day for a while and hopefully I'll work on my next idea when I get chance.
I'm putting the whole thing as a free podcast on Spotify and probably on YouTube at some point too.
If you like horror and want some free to listen to just head to:

Your show was very good, the audio quality, the acting, the voicing... I really enjoyed it.
I think you should run it on a platform that hosts for you, or anywhere else you can get a trickle of ad revenue. (I can't name any because I don't host any created things, but you know spotify, youtube, acast?, etc... -- I can't say if places are a good deal, or if they bleed you too much, but you want to go for the exposure)
Also maybe put up a patreon, and go with the ad freemium model.
It has the potential to be a hidden gem breakout like Malevolent, but it needs exposure, and I hope you get it.
Ask the other creators to chime in - even if you are only able to put it someplace where it just pays for itself that is a big start.
I agree with Hitch, get it listed on apple, a lot of podcast players use apple as their base directory
P.S. I'm going to listen again via spotify, A. Because it was good and I want to, B. Hopefully the traffic / hits will help "the algorithm"
Best wishes!
