It's always wonderful when someone reaches out wanting to be a guest. That is how today's guest, Newt Schottelkotte, came to be. They reached out and bam, guest on the podcast!
Newt and I first talk about Pacific Rim. Listen as we talk about how the character of Newt was influential to them, the movie franchise as a whole, Pacific Rim characters being compared to Frodo and Sam from The Lord of the Rings franchise, and so much more.
From there, we have a new fandom topic. Newt is the first person to talk about AMC's Interview with the Vampire TV series. Fun fact, Newt has not seen the original movie! We talk about how they got interested in the show, their favorite characters, and more. If you're into the show, take a listen!
The second half of the episode is all about Newt! We talk about their love of audio dramas and podcasts. From how they first got their start in high school with creating an audio drama, to what they are working on now, and the future & possibilities with audio drama podcasts. This is a really great deep dive, so if you're into learning about audio drama podcasts, this is a great segment for you!
