Questions you might have

Q: How often do you post new episodes?

A: As soon as they're done. This is very much a passion project kind of thing. When the mood strikes me, I'll make a new episode and post it.

Q: What is the music that you use?

A: Bach's Goldberg Variations. The recording is from pianist Kimiko Ishizaka as part of the Open Goldberg project.

Q: What is your cat's name?

A: His \"official\" name is Spaz. (He came with the name). I tend to call him \"Goober Cat\" \"Snuggle Butt\" \"Stinky Breath\". You know, all the normal cat names. When he crosses his paws, I call him \"Prince Goober Cat\" because he looks very regal.

Q: What's YOUR name?

A: Don't worry. I'm not offended that you asked about the cat before you asked about me. He's much cuter.

Q: Will you cover (insert author here)?

A: Maybe! If you'd like to submit a request, feel free to message me on Twitter @StoryofStorytlr or email me at StoryoftheStorytellers@gmail.com. I make no promises I'll cover them, but I will consider it!

Q: Who made those images on the site?

A: Two listeners sent me logos after seeing that I was using text over a picture of my cat that I mocked up in MS Paint.
