FilkCast will be late this week
I am currently in the hospital. I’m ok, but uncertain when I will be out.

I’m very happy this morning.
It was looking for awhile like I was losing listeners. I have a target number that I like to reach, 100, and I had been below that for quite a few weeks. Being the pessimist that I am inclined to be, that was a little disheartening.
A few episodes ago, I had a whopping 254 total listens, 126 the week before that, 171 the week before that. Listeners were catching up.
In the last 90 days, I have had about a third of all my listens. It’s kinda amazing.
I hit 100 for the most recent show in a week, it usually takes two. The numbers keep creeping up on past shows.
Filk is not a huge community, I was hoping for 25-50 on the first show. 274 people have listened to it.
I had someone tell me the other day that they bought music because they heard it on the show. That is what I wanted. I wanted to support the community that has been so good to me.
Thank you for the support. Thank you to everyone who has commented, left a review on iTunes (you can do that ya’know) and otherwise kept me going through this.
Thank you to the amazing Lizzie Crowe for laughing at me while I record. No one else will ever hear the outtakes. Trust me, it gets grim (in a wildly silly way)
Two more episodes of Pegasus Awards songs, then a New To Me This Year show … then the First Anniversary show. I’m coming up on a year. I really didn’t know if it was going to last. I didn’t know if I would do more than the first show. Instead, this seems to be working. Thank you so much for listening.

Patreon Pages!
A couple Filkers posted links to their Patreon pages on Facebook last week, and it got me thinking.
Ya know, there are quite a few Filkers with Patreon pages. A couple are for writing projects, a couple of them are inactive, but you never know! This is what I have so far, I'll add more as I get them!
