Sidequesting is a fantasy podcast about avoiding the main plot. It follows Rion, an adventurer who’s willing to help just about anyone out - as long as they’re not being asked to deal with the scary wizard everyone keeps talking about.

IT'S TIME! Seasons 1-3 are complete, and I'd love some help funding season 4. You can expect all the fun shenanigans of the previous seasons in a leveled up production. Season 4 is bigger and better, and I'm so excited for you to hear it! 

Want a taste of what's to come this season? We've got a bakery run by knights, a lord's advisor with a dark secret, a mayor sending folks on literal goose chases, a town obsessed with fox catching, a lost baby mimic, and more! I've spent years writing season 4, and I think it's the best one yet. The episodes have been recorded and are now in production, and S4E1 will drop December 1, 2026. 

Funding this production supports indie art and queer creatives in a world where that support is increasingly hard to find. Let's tell more stories with trans characters, queer love, and plotlines too niche for corporate dollars - even if we have to fund them ourselves.

I'm looking to raise $2000 to cover the cost of 10 episodes (that's just $200 per episode). I produce Sidequesting on a shoestring budget because it's ultimately a labor of love. I'm also hoping to reach 100 backers! If you can only support at the lowest tier, you're still helping tremendously! 

And what can you get in return for your support? I've got loads of perks, including: Early ad-free episode access, 6 bonus episodes and a blooper supercut, patches, stickers, and postcards, as well as the opportunity to sponsor and episode or be an associate producer!

If you love Sidequesting and want to support it, now is the perfect time. Get some perks, tell all your friends... and then settle in for a new season this December!
