I also need to mention that a lot of you have donated enough to get a prize, but haven’t given me your contact information, or let me know which prize you want. If you donated enough to get one of the prizes, please make sure you e-mail me at stches@ancientworldpodcast.com with your donation receipt, contact information, and letting me know which gift you want. You’ve already earned it, now I just need to get it to you!
And now some logistics. The past few months were mostly about getting the Fund Drive up and running, and the past few weeks I’ve been overseas on a project. The end result is that I’m way behind in drafting new episodes for the series. In fact, before I write any more, I need to do more research. And before I do more research, I need to get the Fund Drive gifts prepared and shipped out to all the donors – which I’m hoping to do by the end of July, but may roll into early August, so please be patient!
And I think you all know where this conversation is going. Yes, the end result is that it will likely be September before Bloodline picks up with the story of the Roman-Jewish War. It sucks, but there it is – and I wanted to give you advanced notice so you don’t think I dropped off the face of the earth. In the meantime, I’ll still be keeping in touch with listeners on Facebook and Twitter, so make sure you’re following me there. And if you want an update on when your prize is coming, you’re welcome to e-mail me at stches@ancientworldpodcast.com.
In the meantime, thanks for helping out with the TAW Syria Fund Drive, and thanks again for listening!
Scott C.
