Hey everyone, so we've got bonus content for you a little early this week because Anya and Ian are both in plays that are only running through the end of August.

So we wanted to make sure that anyone who wanted to check those out and you should will have a chance to get tickets. And so, as a result,

early bonus content. Happy holidays to you guys, I guess. So we sat down with Matthew of the

audio drama production podcast, which, by the way, is hands down the best free resource I'm

aware of for anyone who's thinking of making an audio

drama of their own. And Matthew was generous enough with his time to hop on the old VoIP

with us and facilitate a kind of roundtable discussion with a large portion of the cast. It was a

really fun conversation to have,

and we think you'll find it really interesting to listen to.

And so, without further ado,

here is our conversation with Matthew presented,

only slightly edited and mostly uninterrupted.

I'll pop in here and there with a few quick announcements throughout,

and then I will see you at the end for a couple of footnotes. Enjoy.

Well, hello there. My name is Matthew. I am a presenter and producer of the audio drama production podcast,

but I'm here today as a the once and future nerd fan. I've been listening to the show for about two months now. I think I

discovered it. I say discover, you know, I'd spoke to Christian before. Binge listen to all the

episodes. Really love it. I think it's a fantastic story.

Great actors, great characters. And I'm really excited to get the opportunity today to actually

get on a call with a large percentage of everyone involved. Slightly intimidated because there's

lots of people on the line.

So why don't we just start by getting everyone to introduce themselves?
