Summary

Content warning: Two uncensored uses of a racial slur (1:02:15 & 1:02:51) in the context of a story about our guest experiencing racism while performing. This week, Candace the Magnificent and Jeremy Cobb are joined by actor, performer, and comedian Rashawn Nadine Scott! The Halflings chat with Rashawn about her journey as a performer, from growing up playing in bands to her love of musicals and acting, and how those early creative influences shaped her voice, confidence, and approach to performance. They also dive into wider conversations around TV and storytelling, including Heated Rivalry, alongside how Rashawn first discovered Dungeons & Dragons and what drew her into the world of actual play. The episode explores her experiences working with Dropout and her time on Burrow’s End, as well as the collaborative nature of tabletop storytelling. Along the way, The Halflings discuss navigating the industry as a performer, the realities of live performance, and the importance of community, representation, and creating spaces where people feel seen and supported. This episode ends with Rashawn's 'sauce based', pun filled Tale from the Table.
