Hello, listeners! Hopefully you listened to our last message. If you didn’t, it was about how we’re taking all our shows off Spotify.

And now, that time has come: as of today, we’ve requested their removal. Spotify makes the process as opaque as possible, so we don’t have a definitive date for when they will disappear, but it is imminent.

So, where can you find us once we’re off Spotify?

Where are we putting our brand new season of Mockery Manor?

Are we making sure there’s always a free way to listen to it?

Firstly, yes, there are many ways to listen to our shows for free. They will continue to exist on almost all podcast platforms - except Spotify. The free versions include adverts, although we try to keep those to a minimum.

If you’d prefer to listen to Mockery without adverts - and who wouldn’t - then the most ethical way to do that is one we’ve just launched, where for only £3.49, you can purchase a whole season of Mockery on Bandcamp. And if you’re wondering why we chose £3.49, that’s because that was the average cost of a CD single in around 2002, when Laurence started buying music.

All our scripted podcasts are now available on Bandcamp, and they sound much better. The audio quality of a podcast is higher there than on any other online platform. MUCH higher. That’s because podcast platforms use compressed MP3s, while on Bandcamp, everything is CD-quality, high definition lossless audio.

And unlike other online services, Bandcamp pays artists fairly. In a world that seems to be trying to destroy creators, services like Bandcamp means we can keep going.

Also, Bandcamp’s profits DO NOT go into the pockets of mass murderers! What a world, where that’s even a thing.

We’ve always given our monthly supporters free access to our music albums on Bandcamp, but going forward, they’ll also have access to unlimited plays of our podcasts in high definition, so join us over on Ko-fi for that delicious perk.

Mockery Manor season 4 is due out this summer, so please do listen to it for free on any other podcast platform, or for £3.49 on Bandcamp.

See you on the other side!

From Laurence LongCat:

I’ve decided to pull all my music from the streaming services! They’re very hostile to artists and we certainly don’t make any money from them. From now on, all my (and Long Cat Media’s) music can be found on our Bandcamp page.

You can still listen for free, pay if you want to, and my music won’t be feeding AI and lining the pockets of arms dealers and billionaires.

We’ve been a little quiet through the summer, but October is going to be a big month! All four of our active shows will have new episodes, with a new one each week. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! 🦇🎃💀👻

Ding ding ding! Milestone alert!

Mockery Manor has swooped past 2 million downloads.

Thank you for riding with us, wherever you are in the world!
