This month we are featuring a feed drop from The Cellar Letters one of the brilliant shows on the RQ Network.After a series of traumatic events, Nate and his dog, Bella, move across the country to the East Coast. Nate, desperately seeking a fresh start, documents the whole process, exploring the perfect new house – loads of space, a yard for Bella to run in, unbelievably low rent….But there’s something not quite right. Something about the house feels wrong. There’s knocking noises in the nighttime, not to mention the locked room in the basement, filled with letters about strange occurrences and ghostly figures.Who wrote these letters? And why are they all stored in the cellar? And what, exactly, was Nate running from in the first place?Join Nate, his dog and his friend Steve as they search for answers.Introduction and outro by Billie Hindle. Listen to The Cellar Letters wherever you find podcasts, on the Rusty Quill website and at www.thecellarletters.com.If you would like to support the creator of The Cellar

Hello Friends and Fans! Anusia Battersby here, voice of Gwendolyn Bouchard in the Magnus Protocol. We hope you enjoyed the conclusion of Act 1! As with season one, we’ve pre-planned breaks in the release schedule to ensure that our production team has plenty of time to work on the show without experiencing too much crunch. For season 2, these breaks between Acts may be a little longer and more irregular as we balance staff workloads and prep for our full stage performance of Magnus Live: The Hilltop.We have plenty of things in store though. Starting next week, The Season 1 Protocol fancasts will be released to the public over on our YouTube. These were streamed live for our Kickstarter backers and Patreon supporters before the premiere of season 2, and feature myself and other cast members commenting on fan-selected episodes from the first season. So be sure to check us out at youtube.com/c/rustyquill.On top of all the exciting production work at Rusty Quill, we also have several live events coming up if you
