Today's episode has everything: some exciting audio drama updates, feedback from listeners, a monologue, and a great interview! Our guest is the executive producer of the HeartMatters audio dramas, Kristie Jardot. J.D. recorded an on-location interview with her at their office in Oklahoma last month to talk about how audio drama is fitting into their work after 18 months, about what's ahead, and to get to know her just a bit more. There are some cool new releases that J.D. shares in the updates, and he continues the monologue from the last episode with a guest. To wrap up the episode, J.D. responds to feedback from Michael, Blake, and Jeremy.
