Further to what's in the link, some things that are always worth noting and encouraging: we strongly encourage submissions from traditionally marginalised and underrepresented communities, including by race, sexuality, gender, disability, neurotype.

Here ya go. Full rules and preferences. Please read all of this before submitting.

In particular, note the new clause: we do not accept AI-generated content. Art is how humans to speak to other humans. Algorithms have no place in that exchange.

All else fails: build a pillow fort with a duvet over the top. That honestly matters more than a mic--you can record on an iPhone perfectly well if your environment is right--but whatever mic you use, get as close as you can to it.

If this is you, record a 2min sample MP3 and email it to podcastle@escapeartists.net so we can check recording quality! Recording tips! Find the softest room in your house. A closet full of hoodies is perfect, or a room with carpets and curtains and soft furniture. No hard surfaces!
