Episode 70 - Afterglow

Content warning for suicide starting at 15:45 and 26:23.Well, here we are again at another season finale. Sometimes I find it hard to accept that Ostium has had six seasons, but then I think about how much more story there is to tell and I just get so excited about what’s to come. And for reference, we’re at the halfway point in the Ostium narrative right now. At least for this series, but that’s all I’m going to say about that. I know it took a long time to get this whole season out to the world and I would like to thank everyone for their patience in that. There’s a lot going on in the world right now, both in the public space and in our private lives, and sometimes there are delays we can’t avoid. So thanks again for sticking around. I would also like to thank the incredible people I have working for me in Team Ostium. Thank you to Chris, Georgia and Emily. I’m very excited to see where our story goes next. Thank you to Mike Nye, a true magician when it comes to sound design. You turn words and dialogue into magical stories that come to life. Couldn’t do it without you, mate! Thank you to Christina for helping out in so many ways and keeping the Discord running. Thank you to twiglettsaregreattoeat, you do so much for this show and so many others. Thank you so much.

This season took a lot of work, but I think the result was one of our best seasons of the show. And season seven is currently being written and is taking the show in some interesting directions. I’d like to say it’ll be out some time in 2024, but I think it’s more likely to be January 2025. We’ll just have to wait and see. For now this is Alex C.
