Hey, did you guys know that voice actress Michaela Swee aka Hera Wolf 359 finished her PhD in clinical psychology and currently works at a hospital with the aim of helping people struggling with deep seated self criticism and shame? Did you guys know this?

[hilberts-seaweed-coffee]

yes, hi, hello! welcome! quick ask for any who see and/or care!

if you love Wolf 359, especially (but by no means exclusively) if Hera was your favorite, please consider looking into the work of the one and only Dr. Michaela B. Swee (she is the voice of Hera, for those unaware)!

She's done some fantastic discovery and exploration of the subject of compassion, shame, and more and has a podcast with the organization she founded with her best friend and coworker (I think? they're in the same field anyway) Dr. Susan Murray.

This podcast has only 9 reviews, which is criminal tbh. They also have a patreon if you can/want to give. Please, even if it doesn't seem like your thing, try it out- it's very interesting and helpful to pretty much anyone.

Here is the podcast link for those interested, and here is their website.

Worth noting that both have their Ph.D's, and Dr. Swee is a staff psychologist and co-director of the adult psychology practicum at McLean Hospital and an instructor in psychology at Harvard Medical school. Very proud of her omg she's very cool you should check out her page.

Thanks!!!!!

Three versions of a poster-ish thing for Episode 41 of Wolf 359, “Memoria”!

I’m not as satisfied with this one since I don’t think I quite captured the emotional weight of the episode (and I couldn’t quite fit beach waves into this design though I tried to gesture at it with the binary), but this will do for now. 

The audio-like wave thing is supposed to be like the emotional peaks and valleys Maxwell mentions, and the “9″ in “359″ and some of the binary numbers are glitching.

moments from the wolf 359 finale behind-the-scenes podcast that made me *clenches fist* really happy

spoilers for the finale!!

everyone! was in the studio! at the same time!!!! they really recorded the episode with everybody there

michelle agresti: “hallo-wolf, halloweekend!”

michelle made goddard futuristics nametags for everybody :)

michaela and scotty’s opening is so much more sinister-sounding without the music

a lot of the podcast is raw audio from the recordings. first, the cast is SO talented. second, you never realize how much the audio engineering and music add to the podcast. HOLY SHIT the difference between the raw recordings and the finished product is unreal

noah masur, dramatic VO voice: “i’m doing these slates for my podcast. the show. wolf 360. space wolves.” everyone cracks up in the background

ariela rotenberg: “I’M GONNA DIE! I’m killing kepler!” zach libresco: “hey, you come for the top, you best not mISS”

ariela: “yeah I died. I died a LOT”

zach l: “he drinks whiskey before he dies. like, you can’t get a death better than that”

scotty shoemaker performs cutter dying painfully and then it’s cut immediately to group laughter

emma sherr-ziarko: “that’s my favorite part. it’s funny minkowski!”

cecilia lynn-jacobs: “the days that i’m proud of myself are her every day.”

i’m going to cry

the last scene they recorded was the last scene of the episode alskdjfalskdf

emma, wonderingly: “have i really done all my parts before now? is that real? i think we forgot one.” noah: “gabriel, did we forget a season?”

zach libresco: “we’ve officially entered the ‘i’m not crying, you’re crying’ part of the evening”

noah, to loud background laughter: “as we get ready for this slate, i can’t help remembering the time that i made a visit to this school...where they are sadly without many slates, and i gave them a speech, and i said to them, i said in the speech, i said something that i learned at home [scotty: “someone’s stalling”] , which was GOIK BLURK *rasping dying noises*, and they learned a lot of things that day. and the first thing they learned was that this is episode 61, section 45, take 1″ and the iMMEDIATELY launches into his line, perfectly in character

emma is clearly one of the people laughing loudest, but she switches back to minkowski incredibly quickly

emma finishes the first take of her last line and everyone starts cheering

they put music back in and go through some of the final lines for jacobi, hera, lovelace, eiffel, and minkowski. + alan rodi’s cameo <3

i’m ugly crying

gabriel urbina: and there we went. and that’s it.

emma talking about how minkowski is the first female role she’s played that was of great substance!!

ceci talking about how great it was to hang out with people from college and see them grow up and become “the next iteration of who we are”

as if I could forget that they were basically all friends in college. legends only

zach libresco: “it’s a wild ride. it’s a blast!”

and that’s it :)

Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog - Wesleyan University, Spring 2010

I directed this in the spring of my junior year, and to date it is still the only show I've directed. We rehearsed for 3 weeks and performed 7 shows over 3 d...

Starring our very own Michaela Swee as Penny.

I found this back in October and it just resurfaced, I was shaken to my core that Hera can sing really well.

Trying to support the artists that I love by voting in the Audioverse Awards is the most stressful thing ever. How do they expect me to choose???
