The Liberty Podcast

We've officially been podcasting for TEN years! We feel old, but also extremely grateful! Join us for a short chat, and a horror story. If you enjoy our story here and maybe don’t know about what else we create, check out the Don't Mind anthology for mysterious spine chillers, The White Vault for arctic frights, and Dark Dice for a horror fantasy. (...also VAST Horizon for a haunting Sci-fi epic) You can also follow us on YouTube. Our careers and the lives we have now would not be possible without our amazing Patreon supporters! Patreon.com/foolandscholar to help us get through the next 10 years. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Greetings Citizens, Last night we learned that the voice of our game master – the one and only Wayne June has passed on. Wayne was kind enough to reply to my email about working together, and while our plans for future projects will not come to pass, we feel fortunate to have worked with him on Liberty: Vigilance. I first learned of Wayne June as a teenager, through his brilliant narrations on the many works of H.P. Lovecraft. He was my introduction to The Call of Cthulhu, and those narrations largely inspired the tone of Dark Dice. He will be missed. We thought it important to share this news between episodes [Dark Dice is currently releasing Liberty: Vigilance actively - we don't have new content planned], as his voice will be very present for the remainder of this season, though unfortunately not as present in future stories as we’d planned. You can hear more of his voice and works in the video game Darkest Dungeon – and it’s sequel Darkest Dungeon 2 by Red Hook Games – as well as on more than a few audio books that are still available digitally and in rare cases – CD. May The Archon Watch Over You. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
