No Filter with Janet Varney

Guess who? . . . That’s right! It’s me again—your pal, C.V.—bringing you a new No Filter! This week’s guest is the very kind and friendly J.V. (known to her acquaintances as “Janet Varney”)! J.V. is a comedian and actor, which is something we don’t have in common . . . but something we do have in common is that we both have podcasts! You might have heard J.V. on her Nickelodeon podcast Avatar: Braving the Elements, and your grown-ups might have heard her on her other podcast The JV Club. J.V. and I talked about nicknames (betcha can’t guess what my new nickname is!), armadillos, dreams, cactus plants, time travel, otters, fanny packs, thunderstorms, and how sometimes you think you won’t like somebody because they’re different from you—but once you get to know them, you find out that they can be a really good influence on your life! I’m really glad I got to know J.V., and I think you’ll be excited to know her, too! I’ll have another No Filter ready for you in a few weeks, and in the meantime, I hope you’ll keep sending me your questions and suggestions—and of course I love getting all your awesome drawings for the #InfiniteRefrigerator. Have a great week, keep an eye out for hummingbird messages, and I’ll see you soon in The Imagine Neighborhood™! Love, C.V. (aka Vaxxie, aka your friend Count Vacula)
