The amount we raised from sales was the equivalent of (roughly) 250,000 listens on Spotify.

Does "Ms. Shipton's Travelling Tea Shop," sound good to you? It's the story of a tea witch and her cat, Misery, who break down in the English countryside.
It's the first release from a new digital audio label from my former editor and friend @fakeadamcecil.bsky.social.
