I found this podcast years ago, when it exploded in popularity and was suddenly all over the internet.
And I fell in love instantly.
I was in the beginnings of discovering my passion for writing, and hearing the masterful combination of poetic, bizarre, and quotable in Cecil’s soothing voice made me realize that I lived for beautiful prose and stories. And finally getting this book of scripts allowed me to return to half a decade ago and relive the giddiness over particularly moving or peculiar lines. The snippets from the writers and performers before each episode provided both an insight of this weird and magical experience and my new favorite quote, written by Joseph Fink:
“I completely failed...but look: I dunno, art or something.”
