ERRATICUS PODCAST

Hello to everyone who has listened and supported this passion project. When I started writing Erraticus in 2020, I didn’t expect for anyone outside of a small group of friends and family to listen to it. The stakes were low, and the only purpose of the project was to have a good time and create something that let me stretch my creative muscles and make me laugh.

And here we are, five years and nearly 40k downloads later. I am blown away by how far Erraticus has reached despite bare minimum effort on our part to spread the word about it. We have received nothing but lovely comments and ratings, and the support from listeners has been equal parts amazing and humbling.

As I said, when I started this project, I didn’t think it would reach many people. Therefore, I didn’t feel accountable to anyone who might have been invested in my story. I have learned many things while creating Erraticus, but the lesson that will stick with me forever is write for yourself, but take responsibility for the stories you chose to bring into the world.

Therefore, I apologize to everyone who has listened to Erraticus and wants more. This is a story that will not continue. It’s agonizing write that sentence, and I promise that if I ever publish anything again, it will be a story that reaches an end.

I have uploaded the script for Episode 15–The Pylon Party, which was meant to be the final episode of Season Two. There was going to be one season after this for a total of three seasons.

I do feel the need to be upfront: Episode 15 contains a gnarly cliff-hanger that won’t ever be resolved.

Therefore, if you choose to end your journey with Guy and Fern and the Innominate in a relatively un-suspenseful place, I recommend against reading the Episode 15 script. But, if you would like a few more more antics, banter, emotionally charged arguments, and a cliff-hanger that might be quite devastating, here is the last episode of Season 2.

Take care and maybe one day, you’ll see more from me. And, I promise, the next thing I put into the world will see it through until the end.

Cheers,

Sarah Newton
