The Table Read 20 - Dan Zappulla

This week's Table Read gets weird & dark. But that good kind of weird & dark only someone as fascinating and as versatile as Dan Zappulla - Voice Actor for the NoSleep Podcast, Calling Darkness, and Writer/Director/Producer for The Parker Podcast - could do! We discuss everything from the importance of psychological horror to the production woes of making a podcast all the way to existentialism, men's mental health, and a shared love of The Beatles.
