Get your ideas for S3 together and send them our way!  Transcript:  Hello lovely listeners, AMC here. We hope that you’re having fun with season two, and we’re either so grateful that you’ve stuck with us after such a long break between seasons OR delighted that you’ve joined us as a new listener. I just wanted to pop in and give you a heads up about the timeline for the rest of season 2. We’re planning a six week midseason break as Ruby and I put the second half of season 2 together. The last episode before the break will be episode 25, due to be with you on the 29th May and it’s a biggie, it’s a biggie, it’s goy lots of fun sound design, the whole gang and about 5 seconds of audio from my favourite person in the whole world - so listen out for that.    During the break, we will be bringing you 2 new bonus episodes and we’ll arrange a little mid season Q+A so we can be really annoying and refuse to spoil anything about the rest of season 2! I’ll share the details for how to submit questions on our social media in due course, we’re most active on Tumblr, Bluesky and instagram in that order and our handle is @vestaclinicpod.    And just one last thing! We are turning our hearts and minds to season three and I’m delighted to re-open the submissions form on our website.

I can’t wait to share the rest of the submissions from this season with you, there is so much fun stuff to come!    Lots of love, stay safe and please enjoy the rest of S2!
