This episode of 'Breakfast in Beauclair' is sponsored by Lengthy Tangent and our debut audio fiction series, 'Peculiar Radio.' Support the 'Peculiar Radio' crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo now through May 2023 and listen to the podcast when it premieres this year.

Doug Cockle from CD Projekt Red's 'The Witcher' video games and Peter Kenny from 'The Witcher' audiobooks join Alyssa for a conversation on their careers, voice acting, and The Witcher, and the actor's endless search for emotional truth. Very important bits include: a masterclass worth of materials for voice actors, sending your best people on the hardest jobs, trading stories about our favorite author, what Geralt says to Doug around the house, and Dandilion, Dandelion, and Dandelion.
