Thank you - here comes the art… Well, first, like, this sketch is over 4 mins long - I am just trying to practice my creativity in these things but there is a gentle learning element to them all - this time - CONFUSING GENRES - YAY OR NAY?!

There are so many reasons to love and share this episode - and look out for the random duck squeaks...just for fun! If you spot where they first appear, and let me know of how many there are and what the time code is when they start, then the first to do that will win some QUIRKY VOICES MERCH. Ping your answers to [email protected] Woohoo. I decided to end this whole ep with an absence of sound to give you some think time🥳 I do hope to ping out more eps as soon as life allows.
