G.O.B.L.I.N.S Podcast Series 1

What is the podcast?

Elizabeth, assistant junior of planning at Worthing County Council, is on her final chance. She's thrown a crumble at a colleague, sent sensitive documents to reply all, and the less said about the company sport's day, the better. The only thing that can save her from a demotion to municipal highways and dog-fouling is to ace her boss's bete noir, the Cissbury Ring Bypass. Strange things have been going on at the ancient site, and Elizabeth is just the kind of go-getter to go get it done.

Tripe and Hooper are also having trouble with the Cissbury Ring Bypass. Mostly because they're goblins who don't know what a bypass even is. And because recent cuts mean they're sharing an office with Elisar Crowshackle, the realm's least useful and most self-absorbed Elven princeling. But they work for the Fae Realm Council, and it's their job  to deal with loric individuals who are having problems with the human world, so they'll do their best to scare the humans off.

When Elizabeth accidentally activates a portal between her world and the Fae Realm, she finds herself forced to hide out in the G.O.B.L.I.N.S. office, and realises she's spent her life haunted by Nyx the poltergeist, a being with an illustrious record of tormenting humans and a way with cats. She's got to stay hidden for eight weeks, waiting for a chance to get back to the real world, and in the meantime, impose some proper protocols and best practice on this sloppy bunch of fairytale beings.

What will the money pay for?

We are aiming to produce this podcast independently without a production company. This crowdfunder is to cover the costs of the first series of 8 episodes. 

The money we raise will be used to ensure we can pay fairly for:

-script writing

-voice acting

-audio editing and soundscaping

-music

-artwork

-transcripts

-marketing

-project management

The project is set to 'Keep what you raise' on Crowdfunder. If we don't reach the full amount we will still create the podcast but we will reduce the number of episodes based on the amount raised.
