"Everly Heights Tales" Preview - A New Audio Drama from Bill Meeks, creator of the thing you're subscribed to
<p>A sneak peek at an upcoming episode of the new audio drama anthology from Bill Meeks.</p><p></p><p>Meet the Special family, a theater-loving, stoner couple and their three very different kids. It’s 1994, and Michael and Jennifer Special are just trying to help fund in the arts in their community, but their son Ricky is on the run from a school bully, and their daughter Zara is betting everything on a plan to start the school year as a popular girl. With a mix of '90s nostalgia, sitcom homages, and a healthy dose of humor, <strong>"Welcome, Freshmen"</strong> will teach you the joys of scented oxygen, the perils of Crystal Pepsi, and why you should never trust a math teacher to do "creative accounting" for the arts. Equal parts funny, smart, and a little messed up, just like Everly Heights itself.</p><p> </p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everly-heights-tales/id1838843394"></a><br><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0fXwGewfNblGk9x5WfCEfw"></a><br><a href="https://feeds.transistor.fm/everly-heights-tales"></a><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT16rmMT0dfsNt3-DfBD8VsFbzxKeCzdx"></a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://everlyheights.tv/envato"></a></p><p><strong>SPONSOR</strong></p><p><strong>CAST LIST</strong></p><p><strong>Bill Meeks - </strong>Ricky Special/Infomercial Announcer/Mr. Matheson<strong><br></strong><a href="https://allofmyvoices.com/"><strong>Sean Seigler</strong></a><strong> - </strong>Michael Special<strong><br></strong><a href="https://www.kristynazaharek.com/"><strong>Kristyna Zahrek</strong></a><strong> - </strong>Abby Special<strong><br></strong><a href="https://www.vowithlaurin.com/"><strong>Laurin Skarr</strong></a> - Zara Special<br><a href="https://www.instagram.com/officialkaushalpatel/"><strong>Kaushal Patel</strong></a> - Phillip "Sinnimon Slush" Simonson<br><a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12025163/"><strong>Helena Geraci</strong></a> - Jennifer Special<br><a href="https://dallismackenzie.com/"><strong>Dallis MaxKenzie </strong></a>- Beatrix Knapp<br><a href="https://www.voiceovermandy.com/"><strong>Mandy McCullough</strong></a><strong> - </strong>Rebbeca/Veronica<br><a href="https://www.qualityvocalartistry.com/about"><strong>Howard F.
