Original poems include 'the climb', 'ghost of studio 6', and 'loss', all by me, Bailey Rodfield. 'Analog Ruins', the music used during 'the climb', was made and produced by krycklund. You can find his animations here: https://www.youtube.com/c/krycklund

"Bird Whistling, A.wav" by InspectorJ (www.jshaw.co.uk) of Freesound.org- many of the sound effects you hear in this episode are from Freesound, and a few are by InspectorJ, specifically. Please consider checking out their work.

The podcast now has a fairly active and vibrant Discord server, full of lovely people to connect with. You can join that server by heading over to our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/lifeisntbad . There you'll find a short little drinking song I wrote, and a few of the poems I haven't released on my blog, https://duhkhadaily.wordpress.com . The blog has a new look, so please check it out!

I'd like for all of my listeners to give a very warm welcome to our show's new transcribers, sadgrandpa and lara. They will be working very hard in the coming weeks to transcribe older episodes of the show, which will be released for free in plain-text format, or behind the Patreon paywall for more in-depth, premium versions.

'life isn't that bad.' is made with the help of: sadgrandpa, lara, MxVile, happyhappy, and krycklund.
