    Club Idiot, a radio play

    To celebrate reaching 75 episodes, I wanted to release something special in collaboration with my Patreon community. Enjoy this quirky, charming radio play, in the style of an after-school special. Four kids who use a chicken coop for a clubhouse learn how to succeed, support each other, and stand up for what’s right. Club Idiot is four middle schoolers’ self-imposed punishment for destroying their last club’s treehouse. Now forced to meet in a chicken coop, they resolve to do something constructive. They choose to help Jax prepare for their school’s 5K race. The only problem is that the neighborhood bully Colt is planning to cheat his way to victory over Jax. The club combines forces with their former leader Bet to secure a victory fair and square. Starring Mark Chamberlin as Kip, Liz Christensen as Jax, Ryan Bruckman as Fin, Janilee Hutchings as Red, Josh Curtis as Colt, Katherine Tietjen as Bet, Jason Wadsworth as Dad, Laurie Ellsworth as Mom, Curtis Kidd as Colt's Brother, and Todd Michael Thompson as Race Announcer Voice. Sound by Ryan Bruckman and Liz Christensen Story and Produced by Liz Christensen Written and Directed by Anthony Buck Thank you for listening!

    Is Acting Creative?

    Actor Brandon Green and actress Kate Williams debate whether acting is creative or interpretive. Brandon’s hot take? Acting is perhaps the least creative part of making theatre. If you want to get your acting theory, creative nerd, art philosopher's jam on, then this is the discussion for you.  Keep "In the Telling" commercial-free, and get exclusive access to full interviews on Patreon You can help more people find “In the Telling” by leaving a review on Apple podcasts Find out more about “In the Telling” at lizzylizzyliz.com Theme music by Gordon Vetas Thanks for listening Support the show

    Author Becca Rose

    I sit down with author Becca Rose to ask her about cover art, being a female writer of color in the fantasy genre, different pen names, how writing isn’t stressful, and completing a manuscript in a four-day weekend. Rebecca Roberts ( Becca Rose) was raised in South Pasadena, California. She spent most of her time lost in fictional worlds. Starting with the classics and Shakespeare, she discovered fantasy and paranormal fiction in Middle School and never looked back. After graduating from Utah Valley University with a degree in English, Rebecca turned all her focus to creating worlds like the ones she grew up with. She lives in Utah County with her two dogs and two cats, who provide emotional support and distractions for when her stories take a turn for the worse. Check out her book “Elfish: The Windy Adventures,” available on Amazon. It is no secret that Windy is lonely. The only child of a single mom, Windy spends most of her time alone. But when her father shows up to change her life, Windy will do anything to return to her boring life and loving mom. Thrust into a world of magic, elves, and dangerous creatures, Windy knows she doesn’t belong. Accompanied by her protective shadow and deceptively innocent little sister, Windy sets out across unknown realms in a quest to win her freedom and return home.

    Betsy Couture

    Episode 69 Betsy Couture is special, more on that in a minute. A quick announcement before we dive in. In the Telling is going on break for the whole summer. I’m starting a Master’s Degree in English on June 1st, which I’m pretty excited for and nervous about. In the Telling will be back in September after I’ve gotten a solid grasp of my program. However, I didn’t want to leave you for such a long break without a lovely parting gift. This incredible interview with couture wedding dress designer Betsy Barker is available in video form on my YouTube channel. Full video interviews are something I typically reserve solely for Patreon patrons, but since we have to part for three months, and since Betsy’s work is sumptuous to behold, I’ve put her zoom interview and tour of her studio and sewing rooms on YouTube for everyone! Be sure to check out Utah’s very own award-winning Betsy Couture!
