O segundo anúncio é sobre o Obscurity Podcast Network. Após esta terceira temporada do Object Obscura, criaremos um novo logotipo da empresa, novo site e finalmente, um novo podcast! Vamos lançar um trailer do novo podcast em dezembro de 2023! Fiquei ligado nos dois últimos episódios do Object Obscura em abril e no novo podcast neste ano!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to check in to give you some updates about the Object Obscura podcast and the Obscurity Podcast Network in general. So season 3 of Object Obscura is still ongoing - we are actively working on two more episodes which will be released in early April available in English and Portuguese.

The second announcement is about Obscurity Podcast Network. Following this third season of Object Obscura we will be creating a new company logo, a new website and finally creating a new podcast! We will release the new podcast trailer in December of 2023! Stay tuned for the last two Object Obscura episodes and the new show later this year!

UPDATE to Object Obscura Season 2 0:55

4 years ago0:55

Hey guys - just wanted to let you know there is no episode this week. Due to the nature of this show - where I’m researching these episodes simultaneously, not all of the stories are complete. So I hope to release a new episode every Friday starting next week on October 15. If there are more developments then I’ll let you know in a future update episode. I also wanted to share some news with you. It’s just over a year since I released my very first episode about a WWII Japanese phrasebook. Since then, we have surpassed 1,000 total plays on all podcast streaming platforms. Thank you guys for continuing to listen and give feedback. I want this show to be a conversation- even if I do find most of the answers that arise in each episode. But if you haven’t listened to some of the newer episodes then go ahead and do so - you have this next week to catch up. I also have created new business cards for my DBA, The Obscurity Podcast Network. Thank you everyone - happy hunting and stay obscure. *Listen to all episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts and our website object-obscura.com…
