Snow White, Snow Bright,

Still your star shines oh so Bright.

As you probably already noticed, the first thing upon entering is me, Minnie Day. The face of the company.

Tutu Day:

Gender: Female

Seven League Boots are SO last season, dear. Perhaps you should pop those in the donation bin?

Wendy Day:

Ignore Minnie! Hi, I’m Farah. Farah Day of Ad-a-Day Agency. Did anyone ever tell you that you have a gorgeous profile? And your friend here has the most beautifully manicured claws I ever saw! Did you two ever think of modeling? Our card.

Sadie Day:

Gender: Female

Description: Dwarf, Manager at the Ad-a-Day Agency

Personality: Full of eldest sibling energy. Organized and meticulous, but still makes the business feel like a cozy family affair. A little sarcastic.

Other Characters:

Grock:

Gender: Male

Description: Rock Troll, Secretary/hired goon/transportation at the Detective Agency.

Lines:

Silence! The muse has called to me! I must write!

Interior: detective office. An under-appreciated and undiscovered playwright stares soulfully out the window. Enter: two hooligan youths. Youth 1: Hark noble faced Sirrah, word of your wordsmithing and crime solving has reached us in yonder far away lands

That, you myopic munchkin, is precisely the point!

Prince Bartholomew:

Gender: Male

Description: Prince and ex-husband of Snow White.

AAAAGGHHH. ULP (like he’s being choked. In this scene, he’s attacked and the attacker goes for the throat)

Season 5 Announcement: A Long Wait Continues Yet A Destination Is Promised

Hi everyone! This is Sara here with Saffron and Peri news! I know it’s been…a little while…ok, maybe a few years? Since our last season. But I’m super excited to announce that we’re back with a fifth season, and it’ll be coming out later this year! I can’t give you an exact date yet, other than saying we’re looking at a fall release, but we’ll have news on an exact day and time as we near it.

I cannot WAIT for you all to hear it—this season is gonna be SO GOOD!! I mean, I’m biased because I adore all of Jenan’s writing, but I’ve read the scripts for 4 out of 6 episodes, and it is EXCELLENT stuff. Crackling dialogue, well-placed (well-paced) plot (wow, say THAT three times fast), goblins, humor, murder, mystery—it’s got it all!

If you don’t remember where we left off, don’t worry, I gotchu covered. I’ll be putting together a “previously on” update to get you all caught up—or you can always re-listen to our last four seasons in a marathon…a listen-a-thon? Wow, no, that word absolutely does not work. (Oo, audio-thon?)

Anyhoo, if you’re a long-time listener, we gratefully welcome you back…sorry for the wait, I hope you’ll find it’s worth it. And if you’re a new listener—impeccable timing! And a warm welcome.

We’ll try to update our social media with news on progress as it happens. Apologies for the long radio silence—I guess I don’t need to tell you it’s been a weird and complicated few years. Lotta unpredictable happenings, some more or less expected happenings, and just life in general. I hope all you listeners, old and new alike, are staying safe and well. We look forward to sharing a new season of Saffron and Peri with you.

Byes for now!

Check out this episode!
