Okay, here's a look at last year's Livestream for the Cure segment, where I narrated "The Landlady" by Roald Dahl while completing the Hot Ones Challenge. I'll be doing the same thing this year - next Friday night, May 31st at 9pm! Get it on your calendar and come help us raise some money for cancer research! (Note how my voice gets higher after the last dab...that's not what I was expecting. I will try to combat that this year.)

Every year, Livestream for the Cure raises funds for the Cancer Research Institute, and last year for the fourth straight year, I participated by narrating a...

It's been quiet around here for a while...I hope you're all well, and that you're actually seeing this post!

I wanted to ask a question in poll form, but either the option doesn't exist or I can't figure out how to get to it. So let's try this:

In the interest of putting out more frequent content, I'd like to know what you think about sound effects in the stories. Basically I can put more content out if I cut out the amount of post-production I need (which is mostly adding sound effects.)

If you'd like to see me only occasionally add SFX to stories, but have this result in more content, either comment "No FX" or react with a like.

If you want to see me keep sound effects in all regular episodes at the probable expense of more frequent content, either comment "We fear change" or react with a surprised face.

Thanks for participating!
