  • Scene 11: News Hour and Shouting at Your Shadow

    In this episode host Steven is joined by Courtney Brooke Marks (guest actor in Scene Three) as well as Nick Schommer (@Sendoren1). Nick hosts Cubones and Catacombs, and plays in The Roaring Trainers, both of which are Pokemon-themed D&D podcasts. Thanks to Courtney and Nick for acting in today's episode.

    At the top of the episode, Nick talks about his time as a Pokemon Dungeon Master, Courtney talks about why she still loves Pokemon Snap, and Steven talks about a general disinterest in Pokemon Go. They then perform two plays, the first of which was written by Cris Eli Blak. Thank you Cris for writing News Hour.

    The plays were inspired by tweets from @demontomatodave (Dave Bulmer) and @j_stee. Thanks to both for the inspirations.

    Thanks as always to Cullen Vance for the music (find more of his work at cullenvancecreative.com) and to Daniel "Blue" Rodriguez for the artwork.

    In this episode we return to the more standard format of two writer/actors, and we welcome Cody Schmitt onto the podcast.
