Amber: Get the Fuck Out
from The Volume Knob Hosted by Conseil Keith Serry Inc.
As a producer, sometimes you have to deal with requests from the talented folks that you work with, week in and out. That said, this episode is nearly 80 shows into making TVK and Amber is absolutely the first ever person to ask specifically to have Kate review the song that saved her life. I honestly wish Katie had been a little against type and found some of the magic that Amber obviously did when she was younger. Amber is a talented freelance writer with a list of clips as long as your arm. You can read some of them on her website (where you can also find examples of her storytelling and other writing credits -- including a piece she did for McSweeny's). You can also follow her on Instagram and Twitter. As always, remember to follow the show on instagram, twitter and facebook and to get over to the website to sign up for the TVK mailing list (which is the best place to get updates on when season 5 of the show will be available). See you next week! Be kind to someone (even yourself) today.

What this episode covers
Amber was doing everything she could to keep the peace. Her dad's girlfriend, Missy, was a prison guard and she ran the house like a drill sergeant. Amber did all the chores; she mowed the lawn and kept the bathrooms clean. At school, she was a straight A student who spent her spare time in the chorus and the band. That said, she did allow herself one small rebellion. When her dad and Missy left the house, she'd use her dad's stereo and turn the volume up loud. Maybe even loud enough to forget.
