Hey everyone.  Vince here.  The creator and director of Out of the Ashes and the Voice of David in the series.  As you all know I had the idea for this story about 20 years ago and wrote it as a screenplay that I decided to modify to become an audio drama.  It created a set of new challenges but nothing I wasn’t ready to confront head on.  Creating audio dramas is a labor of love and while it is free for all it does have a monetary value to create.  So we are eternally grateful to all those who feel compelled to donate to our Patreon.  More recently we have been awarded a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts and this was simply an amazing feeling.  So season 2 of Out of the Ashes is supported in part by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment of the Arts.  The Division promotes Delaware arts events on Delawarescene.com  If you would like to join the Delaware Division of the Arts in supporting Out of the Ashes you can visit our Patreon at www.patreon.com/outoftheashes.  Once you’re a patron of the show you’ll gain access to a number of patron only gifts like early access to episodes, bonus materials and more.  If you’re unable to support the show on Patreon, sharing the show with family and friends and leaving a review helps us appear higher on the charts and exposes us to more listeners.  Thank you once again for following us on this journey and Season 2 has started recording and will be available very soon.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/outoftheashes)
