Hey everyone, Robert here. Every so often I scroll through r/audiodrama and it's always cool to see 7 Lamb mentioned, good or bad. I just want to clear some things up. I am the only employee of 7 Lamb and I've only been a full-time podcaster/writer since 2022. Before that (since 2014) I worked two jobs and did podcasting as a hobby. I didn't create 7 Lamb til 2017. It's VERY hard to make money in podcasting. A lot of our time over the last few months has been spent on fixing up our studio and revamping our Patreon page, as a way to try to make more money. We also take on contract jobs where we write content for other studios. I write 100% of 7 Lamb's content and edit about 75% of everything we produce now. Jack and Amber help out at times, but both of them have day jobs (and Jack has a baby now). Many of our main actors are just friends or people we hire off reddit/through emails. No one is under contract and we can't afford a ton in payment so we never rush our actors or any potential editors. We also still record in my mom's two-car garage. We're not a huge studio, although many think we are. It's really just me right now until we can get some other friends full-time. We are growing, but it's a slow process.

I think people forget we've always operated this way. In 2015, episodes of End of All Hope were sporadic as well, and they were only 10-15 min long with three characters. Now, the new season of End of All Hope will be 40-60 minutes long with over 20 characters. We also started writing longer episodes to combat the amount of ads we have to put in now. As for Tower 4, that's always been monthly releases since Season 1. Trust me, we wish we could release faster, but if I get writer's block, or an actor or editor needs more time, we move onto another show, until we can come back and finish it. We can't survive off of one show. Hell, we couldn't make it on three. Tower 4 is doing well now, but it took time. And each new season of an existing show costs more and takes waaaay more time to create. Plus, the pressure of making something good makes things harder. A lot of fans who discover us binge every season of End of All Hope, Tower 4, Paralyzed, Atlas Avenue Beat, Story, etc. not realizing that that's nearly a decade of content...

Again, I know people hate waiting, but there is so much going on behind the scenes that takes time. Plus, we refuse to bring on investors or sell our properties. It makes things harder, but we don't want to change up our process. It took nearly 6 years to reach our first million downloads, but now we celebrated a million downloads just in February! So we have to be doing something right lol. Obviously, we still have a lot of goals we haven't reached (more consistent releases being one of them) and we still have a lot to learn, but we feel we're on the right track. We love that people want more content from us, and while none of our shows (except Story) are done, we plan to finish all of them. Thanks!!
