This is usually where I tell you to stick around for a lively discussion, but that is not happening this week. This episode took a lot out of me and a lot more time than I expected, so I didn’t have time for a cast and author talk. But there’ll be one. Sometime. I promise. 
Next week on A Blind Play: Episode 27: “Barbecue” adapted from the short story The Barbecue by Ron Pullins.

I sat down with writer Peter Franksson, Alan Veale Irene Santiago to discuss Who Cares, the process of creation, helping others, and how art can change lives. I will warn you, the audio quality leaves much to be desired. I tried to clean it up, but it gets dicey. Still, the conversation is great, so wear headphones. 
We answered the question Who Cares? Irene Santiago does. While you might not know it from her voice, you may recognize Irene as the pregnant chemistry teacher from High School Musical. Oh, yeah, we have celebrities on this podcast. 
I’m hoping to have more discussions like that for each episode if we can make it work with everyone’s schedule. All free to you on all podcast apps. Rate, Review, and Follow, visit us on Seed & Spark, and spread the word.
