TRANSCRIPT
WIL: Hi. Today, September 1st, 2020, marks the first day of our IndieGogo campaign for VALENCE Season 2. To celebrate, we have for you the season 2 trailer–but first, some announcements.
WIL: First: To the VALENCE fan who works at a New Jersey Dunkin Donuts, saw a person in the drive through wearing a VALENCE shirt, and said they liked the podcast, only for the person to say “THANKS ME TOO” and drive off . . . that was Anne. We appreciate you so deeply, Dunks employee, and we’re sorry that we’re all anxiety dumbasses.
WIL: Second: Hey did you hear that Amazon made a data-mining tone-policing body-shaming wearable piece of smart tech and literally called it the Halo? Remember that time I accidentally a prophecy? If you haven’t heard about this yet, it’s a full-on nightmare. You can read about it on our Recommended Reading page over at VALENCEpod.com.
WIL: Third: Now, let’s talk about the Season 2 Indiegogo. This season, we have a goal of $7000. Most of that will go towards our incredible cast, as well as paying me for my sound design work. This has been a hard year for everyone, and VALENCE can’t be made without donations from our audience. But we also know it’s probably been just as hard a year for you. When I say that sharing our campaign on social media is as appreciated as donations, I hope you know I really mean it.
WIL: At $7000, we’ll be able to pay our actors a reasonable rate–but we also have stretch goals so we can give them a raise and start saving for season 3, which yes, in true Hug House fashion, we’re already planning and writing. If our campaign hits $10,000, we’ll make an episode entirely from Nico’s perspective. And trust me, you’re really going to want that for this season.
WIL: If our campaign hits $15,000, you’ll get an even rarer bonus episode: one from the perspective of Morgan Reilley herself, which will contain some spoilers we’ve been keeping quiet for a very long time.
WIL: And if our campaign hits $20,000, we’ll let you, our audience, choose what bonus episode we make. Want Mahira backstory? We can do that. Want an episode where Flynn is the protagonist of a shounen anime? We can do that. Want a Liam and Nico date episode? You sap. Yeah, we can absolutely do that.
WIL: The campaign also includes add-on purchases you can make for things like a PDF of Stabl, the book VALENCE is taken from, or a custom magic sound made by me. You can find all of this at bit.ly/VALENCEs2. That’s bit dot LY slash Valence S and the number 2.
WIL: And now, without further ado, here’s our trailer for our second season. Please feel free to yell at us on Twitter.
