Pastor Clearwater,

My name is Ethel Laharl, I’m the social worker assigned to your case. As you know, your official sentence was 13 weeks community service for the crimes of “Name Lying” and “Baring False Witness Upon name of the Church”. You are therefor going to be given a job here in town which you shall work at in order to pay your debt to the town of Beavertail.

Since you have experience working with people of all ages I have decided to assign you to the John Wilkes Booth Secular Academy for Grades K-12. Due to recent tragic events, they have found themselves short one cafeteria worker. You shall be filling in for this position. Your official title will be that of Lunch Man.

You will be trained on the job by the current working Lunch Woman and are to do exactly what you are told. Its my understanding that you can be a bit of a trouble maker to I ask that you please just keep your head down, serve the lunch and make this next 15 weeks easy on us both, ok? Please contact me if you have any questions regarding your employment.

Yours,

Ethel Laharl

Silver Streak:

Jim Silvers goes into the sewers for the thrilling conclusion of Silver Streak. What will he find in the sewers? The Axe Man? The Pastor? Deborah Forrest? One thing is for sure, it will all end with an unoriginal and tired joke.

Podcast Head Honcho Andrew Terrance Kaberline reveals everything you need to know about CPT Broadcast’s third year producing audio stories.

Two years ago, on valentine’s day 2015, I was sitting in a rehearsal space in downtown Manhattan with the rest of the Critical Point ensemble, trying to figure out why our podcasts wouldn’t upload.

There is a great photo of this moment that is included in our press photos, of everyone else handling this situation well, and me picking at the sides of my mouth (certainly a gross tick of mine) praying that this hiccup wouldn’t kill the idea of making audio as a group before it even got off the ground.

Fast forward to now, 2017, and CPT Broadcasting is prepared to announce our intentions with our third year production cycle for our audio wing.

Above I have included an audio file that contains my podcast address as well as interviews with the show runners explaining the directions of their shows this year. But for those who can’t listen to it at the moment or maybe are reading this at work, I’ll hit you up with some highlights:

RETURNING SHOWS:

The Grayscale

Last season ended with more information revealed about the Moral Influx Co. and unknown whereabouts of our humble narrator, The Voice Inside Your Head. This season promises to give the people everything they’ve ever wanted, and maybe, just maybe, we will finally learn more about what the Grayscale itself actually is.

The Creedence Clearwater Revival Hour

The Pastor was revealed to be an imposter in last season’s finale, and now he’s on the run. Don’t worry, this will all get straightened out by Detective Jim Silvers, and I’m sure the Pastor will be back to interviewing the people of Beavertail Nebraska this season resulting in hijinks, calamity, and all around merriment.

Sunday Night Supper

Andrew returns with a revamped, brand new, glossy sounding season of storytelling and radio journalism. This year we will weave together high concept episodes with stories told in our original format. There will always be an appetizer at the top of show that paints more of a narrative scene, followed by true stories told around the dinner table.

WHAT ELSE DO YOU GOT?

We hope to bring you some more content this year independent of our three running shows (we have decided to fold Julia’s efforts on SJW into Sunday Night Supper, so that show will no longer be in full time production). Our goal is to release an original limited podcast drama series that will tie in with our production of Phfreaking. Also Will Jennings will be spearheading an ambitious project that aims to work like Masterpiece Theatre, in producing standalone audio dramas created by the ensemble AND by other writers and art makers that we recognize as being great.

SO hang tight everyone! We will be putting more audio in your ears very very soon.

Hey Everyone,

I realize I’ve neglected to actually tell you what’s going on in these episodes and accidentally been posting my emails instead. That ends now.

In the Season Finale, The Pastor invites the rest of the religious figures from the town over for an old-fashioned “Pastor-Off.” Things become tense. Someone might lose their church. Someone might lose their life. An old mystery might be solved.- Don’s Editor Note

Now that I’ve got that out of the way, I have one more email to share with you all!

Wow. What a year its been ‘huh? First off, I really just need to apologize for how I’ve treated you this year. I’ve been incredibly distant and once you dropped that bombshell earlier on…well it shook me. But I’m gonna make up for all the time we’ve lost this year by being honest with you now.

Things weren’t great with Todd before then end. We were fighting a lot, we stopped sleeping in the same room and eventually he just started seeing other people. I knew and I didn’t stop him because I wanted him to fall in love with someone else, I wanted him to find happiness elsewhere because I knew we couldn’t find it together. Whenever we were in the same room I just felt, distracted, like my mind….my heart was elsewhere.

I know where it was now, Don. I’m ready to admit what I wasn’t ready to say all those months ago. I think…I think I have feelings for you too. You are the only person who ever really “got” me, you know? And that book you wrote? That was hilarious, Don. It was exactly my sense of humor, the exact thing Todd never understood about me. He wrote 50 best selling detective novels to try and connect with me and your hastily-written, spelling-error-filled manuscript understood me better than he ever could.

This is going to sound bad but…when Todd passed, I felt…relief. Like I could finally start all over…all over with you. I knew you had nothing to do with it, I know your soul, Don. Its gentle and passionate. I’ve always loved that about you. I know this is completely crazy but seeing all the things you’ve done this year and watching your friend Pastor Clearwater defend you so passionately in that courtroom it just…it just really woke something up in me and I’m ready to explore that if you are.

What do you say, little brother? Do you want to meet for coffee and see if we can figure this thing out, together?
