Even though The Call of Cthulhu is technically Season 5 of the show, and therefore rewards those who have been listening from the start, we are also designing it to work perfectly as an on-ramp for new listeners - if you don't know the backstory, you'l be able to join here and you won't get lost.

However, if you do want to catch up (there's certainly time to do that while we're making the new season), then there are some useful resources to help out.

We also have a website that is wholly devoted to the show and the world around it at pleasantgreen.co.uk
