You can find the first episode on Acast here: https://shows.acast.com/the-holmwood-foundation (Or search “The Holmwood Foundation” wherever you get your podcasts.) At the moment we are currently crowdfunding for the first season, and there’s only 19% (that’s £4148) left to find! So please help if you can! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/georgiacook/the-holmwood-foundation/ ALT
FAQ: Is it Queer? Yes. The two head writers are a queer couple, a trans man and a queer woman. The lead is a trans woman, and we use sensitivity readers to ensure we treat Maddie with the respect she deserves. Is Dracula a Love Interest? Hell no. We’ve got enough of that on the screen. Our Dracula is purely an eldritch horror and we like it that way. How many episodes/seasons? Season one will have Seven episodes, with two further seasons planned after that! When will it be out? If we get out first season funded, we hope to have Season One out in Spring 2025! ALT
