The shamefully unironic Ironic Powerpoint is complete! Time for a proper show intro!

And it wouldn't be a new show account if I didn't make a meme about Rhys.

Drystan Morgan, you are so the love of somebody's life

I know AD fandoms hugely skew to the US, but please tell me someone gets the reference from this poster-sketch?

Catch me making a halloween special just so I can make a reference literally no one else in the world understands.

Happy pride, here's some notes about how gay our show is:

I don't like when people recommend anything, not just podcasts, solely on the basis that they have queer rep. Shows, especially indie ADs, have so much more to offer and are all so creative.

But we created this show pretty much exclusively for it to be gay, lol. It's kind of the main thing we have going for us. Follow us for Gay People.

Can I ask, if it's not a spoiler or anything, how drystan is welsh and from the west country? (also what is the west country)

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry 😭 it's basically just the south west of the UK - literally the west of the country, lol. It's a pretty huge chunk of land and ranges from cities to seaside towns, but it's generally characterised as being quite rural and farm-y.

And now I shall tell you the absolute saga of how Drystan ended up with a West Country accent!

So without telling you everything about Rhys (Drystan's VA), basically half his family is from East London, half are from Wales, and he was raised part way between West London and the West Country. The result is a very-hard-to-pin-down London accent with a trace of Welsh if you know what you're listening for.

I wanted to find a way to reflect this in Drystan's family history (in the same way Isaac's from west-central Scotland and Bea did their undergrad in Germany), so I figured if Drystan was born in Wales to Welsh parents, moved to Somerset as a toddler, then moved to London at 11 he'd probably have a mostly-London accent with a very light West Country twang, and a select few words he unknowingly said in a Welsh accent. This would give Rhys the chance to have a bit of fun with it without having to study a whole new dialect and maintain a hella specific accent for hours at a time.

But before I could explain this Rhys basically went "Woah, West Country! Cool! I'll go learn the accent!"

So now Drystan just has a strong West Country accent I guess through spite? Which tracks, tbh

reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.

We've been having a very smooth and productive recording process so far, but tomorrow Michael has to be subject to having me and Rhys on the same call.

He's under the impression that we work well together because we have fun. This is untrue. We should not work together under any circumstances; we could not be less productive. But it's usually just us, so this hasn't really been an issue thus far.
