Season's Greetings, everyone. This is David, and it's now the weekend in between Christmas

and New Year's. As such, we're taking a bit of a holiday ourselves this week. We'll

be back with Season 6, episode 14 on January 3rd. But we don't want you to use this break

to sneak off and get some sleep, no indeed. We have a story for you to tide you over until we

get rid of this hangover. I mean until we get some rest ourselves for the New Year.

And if our story isn't enough to quench your thirst for good audio storytelling,

I hope you'll be listening to the great work from our friends over at Pacific Northwest

Stories. You know them, they produce the Black Tapes podcast and the podcast, Tannis.

In fact, some of you may be familiar with this sound. The Black Tapes podcast is a Pacific

Northwest Stories and Minnow Beach Whale production. Executive producers Paul Bay and Terry Miles.

There's that strange name, Paul Bay. What do we really know about Paul other than the fact that

he's an executive producer over at Pacific Northwest Stories? Well, it turns out he's done time.

I mean he's done time as an actor, a standing up comedian, and a writer. In fact, he may be best

known for a book he wrote about his experiences as a teacher, entitled You Sucks, Sir.

You see, Paul is an experienced high school teacher and his book shares many of the funniest

exchanges he's had with his students. Back in May, Paul posted a two-part story on no sleep in

which he shared some terrifying experiences at his former school. Is the story fiction or fact,

or perhaps a bit of both? We adapted the story for the podcast during season five and we wanted

to share it with those of you who haven't heard it yet. Joining me for the story are Jesse

Cornett, Erica Sanderson, and Jessica McAvoy. So get to your desks, sit up straight, and listen to

the teacher. This is one lesson you won't want to miss. And now the no sleep podcast is proud to

present Paul Bay's story and incident at my school.
