A quick update on production.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to take a quick pause in production on my ghost story series to share with you this excellent new podcast I recently discovered. Have you ever wondered what an inanimate object thinks? What it feels? Well, that’s the subject of one of the best and most original podcasts available today, Everything is Alive.

In our conversation that follows, we discuss how he came up with the idea for Everything is Alive, what surprises he has encountered thus far in its production, and what else we can expect from season one of Everything is Alive. Find it on the web at www.everythingisalive.com
