Oh, hey there! We are in a shifting schedule situation (as a creative artist) and so we have updates on our release calendar. Thank you for continuing to listen/subscribe. It really feels amazing. Also, whilst the schedule for the next month or two is going to be in flux, we will for sure still get episodes out, AND we are still conducting interviews, so we will be back!

122 ~ Rachel McDowell Will Share With You
Monday Sep 11, 2023
Monday Sep 11, 2023
Voice actor and retired comic Rachel McDowell joins us to make us giggle relentlessly and to soothe us with her wonderful voice. She discusses taking tipping VERY seriously (seriously) and why she values grocery store employees more than any other person we have interviewed. It is inspiring and hilarious.
Also, since we recorded this, she text me to say she is thinking of dipping her toe back into stand up comedy, so fingers crossed because her stand up is UNREAL! Find her voice here -https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4661808/

Also, I don't think anyone reads these notes, so I'm going to be honest - I'm thinking of retiring this show. I've been doing this alone for almost 4 years and am mulling over the idea of stopping. Email me if you read these notes and/or if you want me to keep going. servicefromhellpodcast@gmail.com is how you can let us know how you feel. And - be honest. Are you bored? Done? Happy? What do y'all want?
