BONUS:

I accidentally skipped a reader question during the episode, so here it is online:

Q: Stand up comedian and writer Stephanie Weber, improvisor and podcaster Mel Evans, and Kyna Lenhof, co-host of comedy live-lit variety showcase This One Woman, all want to know: What is your next project?

A: Honestly, while I have a few projects percolating in my noggin, I'm just gonna take it easy for a few months, do a few little low key improv shows and basically recharge my creative batteries. Whatever my next project is, I want to do it right and taking a break and just chilling out until I get that uncontrollable urge to create and produce again. I'm not sitting back and waiting for inspiration, I'm taking a step back until I have the wherewithal to properly follow through on previous inspirations.

As always, thanks for listening.
