Hey folks, this is Kevin just a few words before we start. Well, we've got two wonderful

live shows coming up. Just remarkable storytellers. On Thursday, January 26th, at the NERDMELT

Theatre in Los Angeles, we have Bobcat Goldthwaite, the one and only. And Bobcat and I have been

talking about the story's planning on telling, it is one of those, oh my god, I am so thankful

I never lived through anything like that. We also have the author Andy Burman, who wrote the jaw

dropping book, Electro Boy, actress Stacey Mayer and comedian extraordinaire, Miss Eliza Skinner,

makes her return to the show. That same night, January 26th, in New York, at the pit, we have one of

the funniest women in show business. She is an Emmy award winner, a drama desk award winner,

Miss Judy Gold and Julie Klausner of the podcast, How Was Your Week, as well as the hilarious

Rob Cantrell and the Moth Superstar. Also, he's been on this American life, Mr. Jeff Simmerman.

The next nine week storytelling workshop that I teach at the story studio starts this Sunday,

that's January 15th and the next two day workshop that we teach at the story studio is on

the 21st and 22nd, just go to thestorystudio.org to learn more. Finally, we are so so very

thankful for how everyone pitched in and helped us out with our fundraiser on Indiegogo last year.

We promised those who gave $100 or more, we would read their names on the podcast and they are.
