HYMNS FOR THE ROAD IS OUT NOW! – Listen on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more! Hymns is being distributed through a different platform than FUA, so we might have some growing pains making sure that it's being properly distributed. If it's not coming through on your favorite platform, email me at [email protected] and I'll see what I can do! I'm going to be checking all weekend to make sure things are going smoothly.
SEND US YOUR FAN ART! – Email it to us at [email protected] and we’ll feature some in this newsletter! We love seeing all the amazing art that comes out of the community and we’d love for other people to see it too!
TRANSCRIPT UP – Because Hymns releases weekly, transcripts will be released on the day the episode airs. They are available here!
NEXT EPISODE LIVE PREMIERE (HYMNS) – Saturday, September 14th, at 5pm EST on our YouTube Channel. Come chat with us and make sure you hit the bell so you don’t miss it!

OKAY BUT WHAT ABOUT FIND US ALIVE yeah I have updates about that too I know you guys have been itching for it
Hymns is about 2/3rds complete at time of writing. It should be fully in the can by the end of the month. But due to the (frankly unforeseen) effects that crunching so much of it so quickly have taken on my mental health, production on FUA won't restart until January, which means Episode 55 will air the first Friday of February, 2025.
You're probably disappointed by that news, and honestly so am I. I HATE taking unplanned hiatuses. When I started making FUA, I was determined to never have one outside of extenuating circumstances. Unfortunately this one is my own fault for not planning well enough and overloading myself with work. I do nearly everything myself. I just bit off more than I could chew, which isn't a mistake I'll make again.
So what's going on between now and then? Here's a breakdown by month.
SEPTEMBER - Finishing Hymns. Getting everything in the can so it's ready to roll for the rest of the run.
OCTOBER, NOVEMBER - Find Us Alive script writing. I'm going to finish the remainder of the script before we restart production, so it's the best it can possibly be. That means I'm going to have more time for outside editors, and it's going to be my MAIN work task, so when we come back, you'll be getting FUA at its absolute best. Crushing the ending of this show is my highest priority. We've been working toward it for years, and I'm going to put my whole ass into making it amazing.
DECEMBER - Although I am a freak mutant who can survive without breaks, I am finally going to take one. Also December is a very busy season and it would be kinder to my actors to wait until the holidays are over before I start squeezing lines out of them again. During this month if I get too bored (high probability) I might work on some new merch designs and finish getting all current episodes of FUA uploaded on Bandcamp, plus another project I've been working on for a long time 👀.
JANUARY - PRODUCTION BEGINS AGAIN!
Thank you all for being so patient, both in waiting for Hymns to get made, and in waiting for FUA to return. I cannot thank you all enough for your support. This job is a dream come true and I couldn't do it without all of you. I sincerely hope you enjoy the new show!
