👹🔥My Interview With a Horseback Riding Martyr From Hell🐎 👹

I enjoyed a lovely change of pace interviewing Kris Keppeler. I'm not sure how much you like people talking over the top of each other, but whenever I get the chance to share an anecdote about failed Mormon communism, I can't help but join in. Also, Kris has an incredible laugh which she generously bestows (which is like catnip for me).This episode includes anecdotes about her time as a dressage and eventing athlete, how she imagined herself as an anteater to get into a role and the importance of how stories change who we are. I don't need to tell you that because if you are a podcast person, you probably already know how stories transform us.To help this episode's accuracy in search engines, Episode 17 is about:Seattle-based Kris Keppeler's work as a voice actor narrator who specializes in non-fictionOne of her most interesting jobs reading a series of books on Wicca (and how it's actually way more chill than you thought)Not all Wiccans are witches or speak Latin, but they do love Gaeilge and Samhain. Betsy Ross, the famous...upholsterer?Placing second in a competition using her "sexy voice"The most boring part of The Sound of Music is actually pretty good in isolationI learn Kris sadly does not share my affection for The Onion, but does love satireI fan girl about David Sedaris, yet againI ask Kris what her King Midas wish is (and her wish is surprisingly achievable, no genie needed!)The importance of Anne Frank, A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea, and connecting the dotsWhy I have Jim Jeffries envy (and his flawless bit about g*n control)Learning from the past needs to include a distinction between communism, socialism, downright evil dictatorsTales from her equestrian days in eventing (a new term I learned, it's basically a horse triathlon)Why I'm still in love with Colin Firth . . . . .
