Launches and Livestreams

Hi folks,

Wishing you the very best for the coming week from everyone at Rusty Towers!

The wait is over – season 2 of The Magnus Protocol is finally here! Folks who get early access will be able to listen tomorrow at 4pm GMT. Alice and Celia have returned from Oxford and, together with Gwen, are left to pick up the pieces after the events of previous episode.

To celebrate the launch, we’ll be hosting a Drop here on Patreon. If you haven’t attended a Drop before, this is a live listen of the episode, hosted two hours after the early access is first shared. Together with some members of the show’s cast and crew, we’ll listen to the episode and discuss it in a live chat. The Drop is available to Knights and Nobles members – we do ask that you are kind and courteous to your fellow Patreons and RQ cast and crew, and that you are careful about discussing spoilers in the chat for the Drop, as some folks will be listening for the first time!

We’ll also be hosting a Twitch stream on Friday to celebrate season 2. Join The Magnus Protocol co-creators Alexander J Newall and Jonathan Sims as they read horror short stories! This was a stretch goal that was unlocked during the Kickstarter campaign – a huge thank you to everyone who donated to make this stream happen. Join us on www.twitch.tv/rusty_quill at 18:30 GMT - we can’t wait to see you there!

Also returning to your podcatchers this week is RQ Network show, We’re Alive: Descendents. We’re Alive is a pioneering audio drama following a small group of survivors in the immediate aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. Now in its second season, Descendents picks up 18 years after the original We’re Alive: Story of Survival, as a new generation is forced to grow up in the post-apocalypse. The Infected have evolved into new deadly varieties, and humanity’s efforts to reclaim our lost civilization have put us in conflict with our greatest enemy: Ourselves. Now the countdown begins as the children of the survivors work to make sense of this deadly new world before it consumes them and everything they know and love.

Season 2 launches tomorrow, wherever you find podcasts, on the Rusty Quill website, or on the We’re Alive website.
