Skyjacks: Courier's Call - Episode 26 (Season 2)

Welcome to Skyjacks: Courier's Call - Season 2!
______________________________________________
ANNOUNCEMENTS!
This is it, Couriers! The Beginning of Season 2 for Skyjacks: Courier's Call! We wanted to thank you all for making this possible through our recent Kickstarter! We were so excited by your enthusiasm that we couldn't WAIT to start the adventure. So, here we are!
This season picks up after a bit of a time jump. Its been a little over a month since our heroes left Otterbachs and they've stopped at two other locations (port of call #2 and #3) along the six month route of the Red Audron. There were some adventures, some growing pains, some thrilling heroics and even a run in with the infamous Jolly Jack, but all that is behind us and the city of Tesh Urt (port of call #4) looms ahead!
This first episode is a bit of a refresher on who the cast is, what game we are playing and what the world is like. We hope you enjoy as we jump into the world of Speir once again!
Also, this episode is a whole whopping HOUR long! We hope you enjoy this extra long episode to start us out and we will be back to our regular 30-40 minute episodes after this one.
If you've enjoyed the show, liked what we've done or just have feelings about this season, feel free to tell us at [email protected] or to leave us a review on itunes!

CALL TO ACTION
Right Wrongs. Do Mercies. Take Flight!

TALK TO YOUR KIDS
Courier's Call does not condone racism, hate or bigotry of any kind. We stand with Black Lives Matters on these issues and call upon everyone to demand changes to have all people stand on equal footing. No one deserves to be afraid or persecuted for just being who they are. If you wish to talk to your kids about racism and its damaging effects, this is a good resource. As is this.
Courier's Call features non-binary gendered characters. If you are not familiar with non-binary genders or neutral pronouns, this is a good resource for for talking about those concepts with your kids!
A section of Season 1 of Courier's Call deals with the kidnapping of a child. While our story may be fictional fantasy, this issue is one that is very real in our world. Talk to your kids about child abduction, what they and you can do to stay safe and be alert. If you need help and/or resources, please check out more information here.

A Special Message from the Squad!
Audio Editor's Note: We're so thankful you are excited to hear Season 2 - and we can't tell you how excited we are to give it to you very, very soon! This delay is unfortunately taking place due to a loss in the family of our fearless narrator Drew. Our thoughts, prayers, and love are with him right now. <3
We hope you will all be patient with us and will accept this 'teaser' in the meantime which almost completely ignores the fourth wall. The kids aren't really sure how podcasts work. Thank you as always for being with us on this journey!
See you in Tesh Urt!
