Brittni Huyck is back! And so is her Iron City Heat Series, so she's here to tell us all about the fourth installment, which is now available for pre-order!

The trio did their best to talk about Brit's unusally lengthy journey to finishing "Someone Like Him" and why it might be an early finale for the Iron City Heat series. But alas, KYVD maintains its reputation for business in the front and party in the back with some unexpected sidebars.

We haven’t published a new episode of Keep Your Voice Down in 132 days but that’s about to change. Doug and I dusted off our mics and got back into the game tonight after nearly five months away, explaining where we’ve been, why it’s been so long, and what not to do when it comes to retrieving DoorDash orders or cleaning up dog p*e.
