Act 2, Scene 1: Desktops & Doughnuts and Trouble on the Wind
In the first episode of Season 2 we are joined by Cameron Jackson (@mr_camjaxn) and Autumn Gubersky (@autumn_gubersky). We chat about poetry and the mysteries of tiktok before diving into the plays. We mixed things up a bit with the formula, as both plays were influenced by the same twitter inspiration (a callback to host Steven's college days). Both plays were inspired by a tweet from Anthony Rapp (@albinokid). The first play, Desktops & Doughnuts, was written by Cameron Jackson. The second play, Trouble on the Wind, was written by Steven Thomas. Thanks to Anthony Rapp for the inspiration, and thanks to Cameron and Autumn for joining us for another episode. Quick content warning: there is some minor questionably adult language, so you may want to preview before playing the episode for those younger children. Also there is just a touch of zombie background noises in the 2nd play, so if zombies creep you out, maybe avoid the tail end of Trouble on the Wind. Thanks as always to Cullen Vance (cullenvancecreative.com) for the music and to Daniel Blue Rodriguez (@BlueWolfD) for the thumbnail artwork.
