Alex Kemp
Hey, everybody, this is Alex Kemp from Wolf the door. I'm the writer director person behind the imperfection modes of thought in interrogator literature and the very worst thing that could possibly happen. And for the last four years or so, we here at Wolf of the door, we've been making these shows, and we just kind of put them out, and we haven't really tried to monetize them or grow an audience or get to know our audience or anything, really. We just make them and we stick them up on the Internet and we go, okay, cool, what's next? But, you know, we finally started to do a few things to bring these audiences together and give the listeners a chance to get more involved with the studio and what we're making.
So to that end, we did a couple things. One, the website wlfdr.com, if you are so inclined, and you head over there. We've moved all the individual show pages to that studio website so you can find cast and crew info there for modes of thought. There's some really weird stuff that's up, which is awesome. And there's also a way to join the mailing list there.
The mailing list is a really great way for us to stay in touch, so if you get a chance, that would be really cool. Join the mailing list. There's also some merch up that we finally linked up there. It's pretty rad, so you might want to browse while you're there. Great way to support the studio and help us as we invest in making these weird shows.
Part two, we also launched a Patreon. Finally. A lot of people have been asking us, hey, how can I support you guys? This is the way. There are a few different tiers that you can look at.
The perks are really cool. Starts with ad free feeds to all of the shows, of course, but there's also commentary, episodes of pilot episodes of each show, and cast interviews. There's stickers, there's some other posters that are coming. There's all the music from very worst thing. That show had over 30 covers of songs from the nineties.
All of those full length versions are going to be up there and available and yeah, so really fun stuff. Go check that out. Patreon, Wolf of the door studios. Last thing I'd say is the goal here is just to be more in touch. So to whatever extent we can, you can follow us on Instagram studios.
You can join the mailing list at the website wlfdr.com. We'd love to be able to let you know, when our new shows are coming out and, you know, just be more in touch as we continue to do our part to push the boundaries of what audio can do in the 21st century as a device for storytelling and connecting modern humans. So let's do that. Thank you again for all the time that you've shared with us and can't wait to make more rad shit with you soon. All right, thanks so much from everybody here at Wolf talk soon.
