"Everly Heights Tales" Preview - A New Audio Drama from Bill Meeks, creator of the thing you're subscribed to
A sneak peek at an upcoming episode of the new audio drama anthology from Bill Meeks.
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, "Welcome, Freshmen" 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.

Jarod Joseph from Calgary, Alberta
We’re going back to Canada to talk with actor Jarod Joseph (Once Upon A Time, The 100, The Christmas Checklist), as we dive into his upbringing in Calgary, Alberta. Jarod discusses why Calgary is the “Texas of Canada,” explains his problems in high school and how they sent him on a path to acting, and geeks out about good memories at the Calgary Stampede. Don’t worry, Oncers, we discuss his role of Billy the Mechanic/Gus Gus the Mouse on ABC’s Once Upon A Time too. PLUS: Jarod’s thoughts on Michael Keaton’s return to the role of Batman.
