Welcome to Gamelion, the holy month of Hera.
You may have already heard, we just released our newest episode, Chapter 4: The Road to Great Olympus on February 2.
This episode begins to shift the story’s focus towards Hera, and her fight to reclaim her position as Queen of Olympus. Underlining her story is her complicated relationship with her now ex-husband, and her strained relationship with her trio of sons: Ares, Hermes and Hephaestus. We thought the best way to honor her was to release a new episode during her holy month.
Back to Gamelion though. We are currently raising funds for the last episodes of the first season. All funds raised go right back into the podcast, with the majority of it going towards the stipends of the artists involved in the piece. This is a way to get money into the hands of artists during a time in which the arts are under threat and constant attack by our government.
This arc of Psychopompos is all about resistance and fighting against tyranny and fascism. This is one small way you can contribute.
Here's what the money goes to:
Cast, Creative, and Production stipends, giving money back to 20+ artists who have committed their work to this piece.
Space rentals that might be needed for live recordings, as well as equipment rentals and purchases to support those recordings.
Food so we can feed our people on long days.
Covering expenses such as website hosting and incidentals that arise during the recording process.
You can either donate as a corporate sponsor, or as an individual donor.

This is an amazing way to celebrate and uplift queer, trans, and women’s voices to tell the stories of people who have always been there, but are rarely heard. And in the times we find ourselves in, it's all the more reason to do so.
Looking forward to spending more time with you in our little slice of Greece.
