Yay, my hold came in for FIEND by @almakatsu.bsky.social!
Over centuries, the Berisha family has ruthlessly amassed wealth and power, but at what cost to themselves? Will the next generation continue under the dark cloud that follows the family, or can they steer their legacy in a new direction?

I understand that "you get what you pay for" but @archive.org hasn't given me updated stats on the viewcount for my podcast since May (and no, the podcast didn't drop all of its listenership; at the very least, I know that *I* have viewed the files, so there should at least be 1 view for each!).
