Actors will play a new character every time they start a new show, and the best actors are able to play multiple roles in the same production, but it takes a rare talent to pull off multiple characters that share the same brain and body. Our wonderful cast reunites to talk with Mac and Jordana about what it was like to build a friendship, a relationship, even a love affair! between two people (or more!) that live in the same vessel.

Featuring Jordana Williams, the director of Give Me Away, and Mac Rogers, the writer, who guide the conversation and ask questions to -

We will finish up Season Two soon, but in the meantime - here's another show we love: VIGIL

Maria Kennedy begins her investigation of the previously unknown support hero Vigil with his very first recorded case. Vigil attempts to stop a super-criminal plaguing The Safeguard but doesn't get the support he was expecting.

Content Warning: This episode contains depictions of violence, alcoholism, surveillance, alcohol consumption, physical restraint, and forcing someone to become inebriated against their will, as well as mentions of death, murder, theft, crime, assassination, and alcohol poisoning. There are some sudden, loud noises. It also contains strong language and themes that may not be suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised. 

The Transcript for Part 1 of Vigil is too large to fit in our show notes, but you can find it here: Episode Transcript (May Contain Spoilers)

Vigil is a superhero, audio fiction thriller in ten parts from Adam Qutaishat (Button Podcasts) and All In Productions.
