[Music fades in: “The Sleeping Bugbear,” by Dee Yan-Kee.]
HANNAH
Hi everyone! Hannah here, and me and Tessa have an exciting announcement. Tessa?
TESSA
(to herself)
…Hm…Oh!…Oh my!
HANNAH
Tessa?
TESSA
Oh, terribly sorry, what did you say?
HANNAH
Tessa, are those headphones?
TESSA
Is that what you call them?
HANNAH
What are you listening to?
TESSA
I was just listening to the tale of a place that’s much like our own Goblin’s Head! It is a time-and-space transcending “diner” that goes someplace different every day, and the people who work there help whoever they meet that day. They remind me quite a lot of the adventurers–
HANNAH
Midnight Burger? You’re listening to Midnight Burger?
TESSA
That’s right! And then earlier I was listening to the story of a chef who has many personal problems. And I like her very much, but my goodness, she makes things hard for herself.
HANNAH
That’s Small Victories, isn’t it?
TESSA
Oh, yes, that’s right. Next I think I’ll listen to the end of that story of the woman whose apprentice goes renegade and casts quite a bit of wicked magic on a small town. Poor Mama Cherrie, she’s got quite the task ahead of her.
HANNAH
And that’s Afflicted. You know we have to do the Apollo promo, right?
TESSA
And so many of these stories have extra little things that come along with them! For example, there are extra stories for Omen!
HANNAH
Oh, you’re already…you’re already doing the Apollo promo.
TESSA
Well, if we’re going to have our show on Apollo+, I wanted to know what we’re getting into.
HANNAH
All right, so you’re saying that by subscribing to Apollo+, you get early access to episodes and bonus content for the shows that are partners?
TESSA
Why, yes! That’s exactly what I’m saying.
HANNAH
And the shows on there that usually have ads, they don’t have ads on Apollo+?
TESSA
Now that you mention it, I haven’t heard a single advertisement!
HANNAH
Right, and what happens to the money that you pay to subscribe to Apollo+?
TESSA
70% of it goes right to the creators. It’s a very direct way to help not only the creators you love, but all of the creators on Apollo!
HANNAH
Great! Now, are you forgetting anything?
TESSA
…No, I don’t think so.
HANNAH
Really? Nothing slipping your mind?
TESSA
Oh, goodness, silly me. Inn Between is coming to Apollo+! Why, if our listeners want early access to new episodes, then they should download the Apollo podcast app and subscribe right away!
HANNAH
In fact, we have a brand new bonus episode on Apollo+ right now!
TESSA
That we do! I think you should show them a little bit of it.
HANNAH
You know what, I think you’re right. Here’s a sneak peek:
[Music fades out, replaced by tavern sounds.]
ZARA
That… doesn’t even make any sense.
KNOWLES
Yeah, I’m downright extant!
LARKIN
(quietly, awed)
Zara?
ZARA
We’ve really lost the thread of this conversation.
ROSIE
Yes. Back to the task at hand. Are we or are we not doing a circus performance for all Tode’s little cousins?
KNOWLES
As long as I don’t have to be a clown.
Chair drags across the floor.
LARKIN
Zara!
ZARA
(surprised)
Larkin.
Silence.
CASTOR
We should… Uh, hm.
(quickly)
We should go.
ROSIE
Is that her…?
CASTOR
(slowly and with emphasis)
We should go now.
[Tavern sounds end. Music fades back in]
TESSA
Oh my goodness.
HANNAH
I know.
TESSA
Larkin! Zara’s twin brother?
HANNAH
He’s going to be in season five.
TESSA
I’m going to listen to this new bonus episode right now.
HANNAH
…Tessa, you were there.
TESSA
Not for all of it!
HANNAH
At least help me finish this up.
TESSA
Right. If you want early access to new episodes of Inn Between, from this bonus episode to every single episode of season five, get the Apollo podcast app and subscribe to Apollo+.
HANNAH
Honestly, you should check out Apollo anyway, it’s a great way to find new shows.
TESSA
Now if you’ll excuse me, there’s a new episode of that story where they take bits of time through the past and future out of context, just to show how silly people are.
HANNAH
Uhh…I’m stumped, which one is that?
TESSA
Oh, “PodCube.”
HANNAH
Ah, PodCube, of course. Hey, how’d you get a phone?
TESSA
Never you mind.
HANNAH
…Sure. Inn Between on Apollo+.
TESSA
We’ll see you at the inn!
