★ TV Promos
★ Cluedo vibes
★ a Smiling Assassin
★ Sam's blooming baby flower
★ Wizened Mark
★ …and a very sensible approach to punctuation ✅

How do you make sure that your message isn’t just heard👂but it’s felt?

It’s a question we grapple with on this week’s podcast with the inimitable Lance C. Fuller.

It’s all about the feelings inside - plus we get heated over facial hair and how to respect the comedy in a script by not playing it 😂 - all that and a wildcard that brings an inanimate object beautifully to life!
