What is the Antiquarium and how does Shopify support its merchandise operations?

Trevor Shand 0:00
Hey, Trev here from Acquisitions. You know, most of the objects that arrive here at the Antiquarium are one of a kind. Our merchandise, thankfully, is a little easier to restock. We run our entire Antiquarium store on Shopify. In fact, if you picked up one of our candles, a t-shirt, a hoodie, a decoder, or any of the other strange treasures we've released over the years, you've already used it. And if you've been sitting on a business idea of your very own, Shopify makes it easy to make it happen. Everything you need to start selling is included and ready from day one. What impressed me most was just how simple the buying process was on the buyer's end. When someone is ready to purchase, Shopify Checkout helps more customers actually complete their order.

And when they come back, their info is already saved in there, making checkout incredibly fast and easy. The other thing I love is that Shopify handles so much of the heavy lifting on the back end, like inventory tracking, discounts, shipping tools. I can just print out labels, slap them on packages, take them to the post office. I don't even have to stand in line anymore. Store management, it is all there, which means less time fighting with complicated interfaces and trying to program the darn thing and more time actually creating things and posting it on the store. We've got all new antiquarian merchandise available right now, by the way, including a new hoodie design on what is genuinely like the most comfortable hoodie I've ever owned.

I practically live in the thing. We've also got ultra soft, lightweight teas, a limited candle restock and much more coming every time an order comes in. And there it is. It's a nice reminder that Shopify is quietly handling everything behind the scenes with Shopify. Nothing stands between your idea and a real business. So what are you waiting for? Go make it one. Start your free trial right now. Shopify.com slash TASH. That's Shopify.com slash the Antiquarium of Sinister Happenings, abbreviated to TASH. Again, that's Shopify.com slash TASH. Before we return to tonight's proceedings, permit me a brief recommendation. You see, I spend a great deal of time surrounded by unusual stories of unusual objects.

A very small handful linger long after they've ended. Recently, I had the pleasure of encountering one such tale. It's called Don't Tell Alice. From the co-creator of Welcome to Night Vale and serving as a sequel to Alice Isn't Dead, it follows Keisha as she once again finds herself traveling the strange highways and forgotten backroads of America. What begins as a search for answers soon becomes something far larger, involving parallel worlds, family tragedy, and consequences that may extend well beyond a single reality. It is thoughtful, unsettling, and wonderfully strange in all the right ways. The sort of story that feels as though it was waiting for you just beyond the next exit. It stars Jessica Nicole and features a beautiful score and sound design by Disparition.

You'll find Don't Tell Alice on the Alice Isn't Dead feed, wherever you listen to podcasts, with ad-free episodes available a week early on Patreon. And if you do decide to visit those lonely roads for yourself, well, do be careful what you discover. And whatever you do, don't tell Alice. For an ad-free experience, visit theobsidiancovenant.com. H equals Q. Welcome back. Please mind the shelves. We've had a few incidents lately. Now then... Today's acquisition is a curious little thing. A patient identification wristband. Plastic clasp. Synthetic paper. Standard medical issue. No name or date of birth remains. Most of that information appears to have been intentionally removed. Which is unfortunate, because whoever wore it left behind a rather extensive account of their circumstances.

An account that, according to the paperwork accompanying the donation, was never meant to leave the building where it was written. The title attached to the manuscript reads, From Beneath the Trees, Chapter Two. A rather dramatic title, wouldn't you agree?
