  • I Have So Many Questions

    April Fools!  But it's the good kind of prank.  Today we're participating in Operation Switcheroo, where podcasts hosts share their feed with a similar show to help grow our audiences by introducing people to shows they might not have heard of.

    We're an indie podcast with limited resources, so we could really use  your support. You can set up a monthly recurring donation at  patreon.com/vocalfriespod. The $5 a month level gives you access to our  monthly bonus episode, as well as a Vocal Fries sticker and a shout out  on the podcast! But you can contribute as little as $1 a month and have  our undying gratitude!
