Another off the cuff episode, this one very nearly ended up not being published at all (because of this, in case you’re curious). However, thanks to some urging from the rest of Spam Spam Spam Humbug’s contributors, I buckled down and spent a few hours making very careful edits to the episode audio.

And let me tell you, it was worth it. Because in this episode, I was joined by none other than Joe Garrity (he of Origin Museum fame), and we talked for nearly an hour about crowdfunding…and the sometimes absurd expectations that people who back games on e.g. Kickstarter develop as a result of having chipped in.

Always remember: if you’d like to recommend anyone for a shout-out, send us an email…which you can also use to suggest podcast topics, offer commentary or criticism about podcast episodes, and/or to volunteer your time as either an occasional or regular contributor to podcast sessions.

Also, if you haven’t already, you should totally sign on with the Ultima Dragons group on Facebook, or with the Ultima Dragons community on Google+ . The Facebook group is easily the larger and more lively, but that just means that the Google+ one needs a few more members posting content there on a more regular basis. Also, don’t forget to contribute to the #udic hashtag if you’re on Twitter.

As well, please consider Liking the Facebook page for The Ultima Series, following the Ultima Codex on Twitter, or encircling the Ultima Codex on Google+. And whatever social network you favour, please also consider sharing any content posted to those social media profiles with your own followers and friends; spread the word, spread the Ultima.

And if you like Spam Spam Spam Humbug, think about leaving us a review on iTunes, Stitcher, Podbean, or anywhere else you listen to us.

Finally, there’s the Ultima Codex Patreon. A $1 pledge will get you access to Spam Spam Spam Humbug episodes the day before they go live here on the site, and you’ll be helping me both maintain and — with sufficient funding — expand the server infrastructure of the Codex to better deliver all the things you come looking for thereat.
