The Year that proved Nothing is Trivial
by Lori Twichell Dearest Gentle Reader, It’s been a very long time since I last updated here. But that doesn’t mean all has been quiet. I’ve just been working on behind the scenes things for a while. It’s finally time for a long overdue update! First, a little backstory I have been around microphones in some way, shape, or form, for most of my career. Radio. A live radio call-in show online for years. Audio drama. Voice work. And yes, podcasting. A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, back when podcasting was so early that it wasn’t cool, I hosted a podcast about an audio…

Flaws in the Faith Film Industry
It's my belief that we serve the master and creator of the universe. The most creative being ever to exist. Our creativity should be of the highest quality.

Let’s talk Coronavirus…
by Lori Twichell Let’s talk Coronavirus. I’ve been kind of quiet on it other than sharing news stories because this is a local story for me. My news feeds on various social media sites are split pretty definitively. I have friends who are convinced this is the end of everything and we’re all going to die. I also have friends who believe it’s a full on hoax meant to mess with elections and they are pretty much scoffing at those who are concerned. Where you stand on the issue doesn’t matter to me, really. Your opinions don’t change anything about my life or how it’s affecting my family and…
