Hello everyone! I'm back from an unplanned hiatus, and I'm reading to dive into the 'Ber months with my Christmas cheer. Today's episode is a fun one - I start things off talking about my crazy August and a misadventure with a bat. Then I open the mail bag and share some emails that have come my way. The majority of the episode is then given over to a discussion with the filmmakers from the recent short film "Black Santa". Writer-Director Travis Wood and writer Weston Auburn talk to me about how the film came about, the message they hope it inspires, and the importance of representation. Here are some links to the film and it's imdb page. I'd recommend watching it before listening to the episode if you don't want minor spoilers of the film.
