Jeremy plays a recording where a suspect is apparently being interviewed by the police on New Year's Eve of 2016. Are the interviewers really police? What crime is the suspect being accused of? And how is "ramen" pronounced?

This episode features a special guest star: Virginia Spotts (she/they). Virginia can be found on Twitter @VirginiaSpotts, and you should definitely check out their excellent audiodrama: The Sheridan Tapes.

Production Update: We're hard at work on Season 5 and will be moving into the recording stage soon! In the meantime...Happy New Year!

Here's the second half of our Q&A session!

THE QUESTIONS:

The C in Alec is for Chaos (Discord) How do you go about writing TSP, do you write as the season is being recorded or do you prepare further ahead? And have you ever gotten stuck with a writer’s block?

Akumu (Discord) I’m very interested in the ARG that you ran; Who proposed it, who put it together, what resources did you reference on how to organize materials and create activities for the players, how do you feel about the resulting product, was it a success in its original purpose? (And is it going to continue?)

Lilly (Discord) How did all the Voice Actors get involved in TSP? Were you all friends beforehand?

Lilly (Discord) We know Jeremy’s wife is not a fan of his work on TSP. If you’re comfortable sharing, how does your actual family feel about you doing podcasts?

Lilly (Discord) How long does it usually take to record and edit an episode?

Lilly (Discord) Do you set goals or restrictions for how long you want each episode to be, or do you just let it flow for however long it takes for that episode’s story to conclude?

As we prepare for Season 5, we had an opportunity to answer some questions from our listener community. This was a lengthy conversation that we're splitting into two parts (part 2 will be released two weeks from today). We hope you enjoy!

THE QUESTIONS:

Drugstore Cowboy (Discord) Behind the scenes and how to get started on a podcast. Interested in TMA, TSP, and willing and fable for inspiration. Good spooky stories.

Autumn. Evergreen (Discord) What are the characters’ favorite foods?

Icarus (Discord) What are the characters’ things they do that annoys the crap out of everyone else?

Icarus (Discord) What are the characters’ favorite animals?

Detective C (Discord) What was your favorite part to record?

Gem (Discord) We knew that Jeremy was somewhat part of this lore, more than being the storyteller (loss of memory, parents, etc.). We also saw the papers somewhat destroying his marriage. But now, it tarnished the idea of normalcy in any way. Did you guys have a hyperfixation that nearly ruined your life? How did if feel to break that thin barrier you created between family of Jeremy and the papers? To have not only Jeremy but other members of his family put in danger?
