2025 Year End Campaign and Escape Pod 20th Anniversary Recap!


It’s that time of year again! If you like what we do and would like to support us in bringing you even more incredible short fiction, our year-end campaign will be running from December 1st to 31st!

Thanks to some of Escape Artists most generous supporters, this year, we have a Matching Gift Fund of $10,000. That means your support will have twice the impact. Every dollar you donate will be matched 1:1! We want to take this opportunity to thank a few of our recent major donors: the Turner Family, the van Verth family, and the Scalzi Family Trust.

What’s more, if you subscribe or renew your current subscription, or gift a subscription, to Patreon by December 31st with the code 2025YEC, you’ll get a 10% discount off your first month or annual subscription for 2026! Give yourself or the audio fiction fan in your life the gift of ad-free enjoyment for the year ahead! Monthly donations ensure we can plan ahead with a reliable income, which means we can publish more original stories, devote more time to editorial excellence, plan for the future, and more.

Head over to our Paypal Giving Fund to donate without fees, check out our Patreon subscription options, or check out other ways to support us! (Continue Reading…)
