Severed, the Ultimate Severance podcast.

Hello, Refiner, so glad to have you back on the severed floor.

This week, we've got a fantastic interview lined up. You've heard this guy's name

multiple times during the podcast. He was also referenced quite a bit by Property Master Kat

Miller and lead graphic designer Tansy Michaud. Thanks to volunteer producer Vinny Pee

Pee for tracking down the official sculptor for severance, Panko Plotikinov. From the dead seal at the

ortebo to this statue in the middle of town, Panko Plotikinov. From the dead seal at the ortebo to this statue in the

middle of town, Panko did it all, and we're going to talk to him about it. We got together via

Zoom on Wednesday, September 10th, to discuss all of the many things Panko has sculpted for

severance. We're going to hear the whole thing today. As with past interviews, we're going to do this with limited commercial interruptions. In order to keep my podcast server happy, I do have to take breaks within the show. I am allowed to limit the number of breaks. We'll take one right now. We'll take one in the middle of the interview, then we'll take a final break when I'm saying goodbye at the end. It's not as many as the podcast

server would like, hey, but at least I'll have taken a couple of breaks. We're going to take one

right here. When we come back, you'll be into the interview. So if you're ready, here come the

commercials. Hey, this is Ben Stiller. Thanks for listening to Severd, the ultimate Severance podcast.

All right, refiners. We've got a huge severed podcast. Welcome to the man who is known around

severance as Penko the sculptor. Penco, if you could introduce yourself, say your name and

give us your position on Severance.

Hi, everyone. My name is Penko Plotikanov. I was the sculptor on Severance 1 and 2.

So I started in 2020, in the fall of 2020. I was hired by Leslie Sauter and Chris Schreiber. Chris Schreiber was the art director at the moment and Leslie Sauter was the scenic church. Since then I was on the show.

And have done some fantastic work. All right. Before we get into this, we want to know some personal fun facts about you. Now, this is trying to get info about the real person behind the

glamorous TV job. If you've got a couple of fun facts, a hobby, personal life, something

interesting about you that doesn't involve work. What's a fun fact about Penco? I come from

Bulgaria. I studied in the academy there art. I started sculpting when sculpting when I was a child, an early age.
