News of the week:
Thanks to all our world-wide iTunes reviewers, whom we recently discovered!
Help us upgrade our mics!
We're looking for donations to help us get brand new, much improved microphones for the show. This will improve sound quality, but also help us avoid some of the technical difficulties we've had over the last couple years that have sometimes led to lost episodes.
If you donate $25, we'll send you five (5) unreleased episodes! These are episodes we improvised but never produced as full episodes, so they are without sound effects but still very funny!
Hello from the Magic Tavern!
IST's Irene Marquette is on this week's episode of Hello from the Magic Tavern, a hilarious improvised fantasy podcast also featuring our own Matt Young. For a good time, download this podcast.

We also have a project underway where you can do us a favor just by relistening to old episodes. If you look at our current episode descriptions they all include a cast list, including all the various aliens and ensigns and we play. We're hoping to get lists for all of our old episodes so that you can just look at the episode description to immediately see if Greg, or Lackey or Smelt make an appearance. If you go to our website you can see instructions on how to help. You can do one episode or many, but everyone who chips in will get exclusive access to a special unproduced episode of Improvised Star Trek.
