There are kids in this world who are different. Special. They look like us and they act like us. But they are not us.

And one of them is missing.

Can you say rewind? Hey, it's Jess Fisher. And for episode 100 of 6 minutes, we're giving you a treat that used to be behind a pay wall on Patreon.

This is an interview from 2019 with the cast of 6 Minutes.

It rocks that you're listening to this right after Ryan Shanahan's episode because his voice is back to being like, Badger's voice, you'll love it.

Their chemistry is so killer. I listened to this earlier today and I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time. You might hear some of the same stories again, but just enjoy it. I know I did.

Hey, it's Jess. Did you know that GZM shows has a YouTube channel? Right now, all of 6 minutes becoming Mother Nature, GZM Beats, and Cupid and the Reaper are up. And they're in these like beautiful playlists.

They have this fun audio waveform visual. And best of all, you can turn on captions. And the captions have character names.

Anyway, subscribe to GZM shows on YouTube. Maybe there'll be some cool things in the future like live streams, interviews, behind the scenes. We'll see. GZM shows on YouTube.

Hi, I'm David Kriesman from Gen Z Media and I'm one of the creators of 6 Minutes. This week in honor of episode 100 of 6 Minutes, we are bringing you two very special shows.

I'm in Brooklyn, New York with the cast of 6 Minutes themselves. And we're going to be talking about the process of making this show we all love so much.

You'll get to know the actors a bit and they'll even be answering questions from some of you guys at home. We'll also preview what's to come in the weeks and months ahead.

But before we get started, I just want to say on behalf of all of us at 6 Minutes, thank you to our loyal listeners out there. Kids and adults alike all over the world.

You've made this show a big success that continues to grow and grow and we are so grateful to all of you.

Okay, enough hearing me talk. We've got almost the entire Anders family here and Badger. And I'm going to let them introduce themselves.

Hi, I'm Shahadirai Joseph. I'm 13 years old and I play holiday. Hi, I'm Lily Brooks, so Bryant. I'm 12 years old and I play Birdie Anders.

Hi, I'm Zeph Maffa. I'm 14 years old and I play Cyrus Anders. Hi, I'm Ryan Shanahan. I'm 14 and I play Badger. Hi, I'm Amy Hutchins and I play Monica Anders.

All right, so we started making this show just about a year ago. Did you guys think at this time we'd be standing here talking about episode 100? No.

No, one of our listeners, Megan from Chicago wants to know about the casting process and how you guys first heard about 6 Minutes.

I can tell you from our end, we wrote audition scenes for each character and sent them out to casting agents and we get audio recordings back. It's sort of like the voice where we just hear the voice.

And then if we like it, we turn our chairs around. So Zeph, how is recording that audition on your end?
