In this episode, we present four great interviews recorded at Sonic-Con 2023. J.D. speaks with Unshackled's Timothy Gregory about his work on the show, some of the backstory of that historic program, as well as a newer project that they're now working on. They also talk about Tim's audiobook narration work. J.D. also speaks with writer and actor Colton Grellier, who was the man who came up with the idea for the Sonic-Con event. ATC contributor Austin Peachey also chats with talented voice actors Jake Phillips and Caleb Bressler about some of the projects they've worked on and their thoughts on the event. Before the interviews, J.D. shares several audio drama updates, and he caps off the episode by responding to feedback from Samuel, Robert, and Greyson.
