Bonus Mini-Sode: A Dramatic Reading by Helen Hong and Interview with Playwright Sunny Kase

Hi, everyone, John Moe here. “Can I read you what Sunny just posted on Facebook?” asked my wife, Jill. I figured it was something about Tom Petty or her dogs but it was, in fact, a very funny and skillful micro-essay on why she listens to Depresh Mode and why, after years of listening, she became a member. Her argument was one that I would never dare make but enjoyed: if you’re not paying, it’s theft. I passed her post around to Max Fun folks and they got excited. When creative people get excited, they BUILD stuff. Actor Helen Hong, co-host of Max Fun’s Go Fact Yourself, performed a dramatic reading of Sunny’s words in a beautiful/hilarious video by Max Fun’s Laura Swisher. So in this mini-sode, we have the audio of Helen’s reading and an interview with new celebrity Sunny Kase.
