Hi hope I’m not intruding on your ask box but I just needed to tell you your performance as Rane is incredible. They’ve surprisingly become one of my favourite characters in the show. I think your voice just suits them so wel and adds allot to the character. Something about this sweet voice that over the course of things becomes more calculating, you can hear them turning over sentences in their head trying to figure out what words will give them the best advantage. Just the way you portray them is perfect.

I would hand over all my wealth and possessions to them if they told me honestly. My support for Rane is unwavering. Thank you for doing such a good voice acting job! I could gush about it for hours.

It is absolutely not intruding on my ask box, thank you so much!! I had SO much fun playing them and I'm delighted others have enjoyed listening, too! I will refrain from using my voice acting powers for evil cult recruitment purposes, I promise.

As a thank you for being a staunch Rane supporter (they did nothing wrong!!!! crab nuke schmrab schmuke!!!) here are two screenshots you might enjoy from when Jon sent me the scripts for our final recording session:

Just found the perfect plushy for the understudy:

Ohhh perfect!! I'm imagining them putting it in a little floatie so they can take it in the bath 😍🦈

Very Important Question: are Absolute Unit's spots symmetrical like a ladybird? Is he perchance a ladybird in disguise?

Thank you and your podcasts are very good

His spots are not symmetrical, I'm afraid - he's more like a tiny cow than a giant ladybird! Here's a video of him making his first steps out of the carrier when we brought him home from the shelter, being sooo big and brave!

[Video description: A phone video of a black and white cat stepping out of a pet carrier into a living room. The person holding the camera says, "My goodness, he's so brave!" A second person, kneeling by the carrier, says, "So brave! So chunky, so brave!" End description]

I am assigning you Library Worker based on podcast vibes. The kind who is always in a different part of the building but pops up just when you need reader’s advisory. Also the vibes are those of one who enjoys using a stamp and inkpad both gleefully and passive aggressively as the situation calls for.

The highest of high praise!! My first job was actually in the libraries, and I loved the stamp SO MUCH!! I didn't get to use it that much though because the one thing I liked more than stamping books was letting people stamp their own books - especially people about 3 years old who needed their grown-up to pick them up to be able to see the top of the checking desk 💕✨ You are right I was always in the wrong a different part of the library when my colleagues went looking for me 😅

For the "what job do my voice and vibes assign me" ask meme!

Hello there, Hero, my favorite white boi

I'm doing a re listening to some podcasts and I remembered proposing the idea of The Narrator (from Neighbourly) and The Presenter (from Monstrous Agonies) being cousins, and now!!!!! I dare to SUGGEST!!!!!

That both of them are somewhat related to The City from Modem Prometheus

I MEAN JUST LISTEN JUST— I CAN EXPLAIN JUST LEMME GRAB A PEN— CAN YOU SEE MY VISION???????

Unfortunately I've never listened to Modem Prometheus (after a little internet search though I am adding it to the To Listen pile!) so I am slightly sitting here like

But I'm delighted for you and am happy to declare any podcast characters you choose to be cousins! Whether I wrote them or not! David Eskew is now cousins with Faye VestaClinic, why not!

I'm listening through Monstrous Agonies for the first time, and I'm on Episode Four.

The phrase, "Life is a series of Becomings, never completed until Life itself is complete" just rewired my brain a little bit and I'm a bit misty-eyed over it now.

Thank you for sharing these stories, they're really good.

Oh, thank you so much!! I'm delighted you've found your way to us, thank you for listening xxx

Hi, sorry if this is silly, but I CANNOT figure out how to pay you in exchange for ad-free episodes? I know there aren't ads on the site but I would like to listen through my podcatcher. Unless I missed it, it seems the ko-fi doesn't offer ad-free either? Is ad-free not an option? Is it somewhere else and I missed it?

I'm so sorry, we don't actually have an ad-free version of MA available right now! It's something that is very much on my To Do list but unfortunately the To Do list is long and I am short 😭 I'm hopeful that we'll have something in place by the end of the year, but am also wary of making firm promises on that front. Thanks so much for listening!
