RE: Undiscovered Art & Butterfly Effect
Dear Pennies and Pallers,
In letter one, Ryan asks us if there is a purpose for creating art even if it doesn't reach anybody. Letter two comes from Samantha, who asks us if any crazy world events have dictated where we are today.
We also talk about negative reviews, vibrato, pet nicknames, and more!
We wish you well, sincerely,
Your Pen Pals Daniel Van Kirk and Rory Scovel

Todd Glass | RE: Rituals & Good Stuff Gone Bad
Dear Pennies and Pallers,
This week we are re-joined by our friend Todd Glass! Letter one comes from Derek, a Paller who asks us about our daily rituals. In letter two, Kristin asks us, what is something that you absolutely love to do or experience, but if you did it all day everyday forever and ever, it would slowly turn into a torturous hellscape? We also talk about peeing in the pool at the pool bar, washing your legs in the shower, TombStone pizzas...again..., and more!
We wish you well, sincerely,
Your Pen Pals Daniel Van Kirk and Rory Scovel

Customer Reviews
Great show, but listening issues
Love these guys and the show. It’s probably just me, but the sound levels are problematic. I’ll be listening and then Daniel’s voice will trail off at end of comments, I’ll increase volume to hear him…then Rory comes in louder and just about makes my ears bleed. Will probably not listen as often because I listen at work and can’t be fiddling around with volume all the time.
yUUUUp!!
What a delight. I’m gonna start doing stand up again. Or get back to it because of these 2 can….UNTRUE.
I’m super inspired by the way the gents incorporate their good hearts and kindness into their art. Their friendship is inspiring and the ability to monetize their art is RIGHTEOUS.
THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME TO HAVE FUN AND SPREAD LOVE/JOY AND THE MONEY WILL FOLLOW.
watching Rory preform his improv comedy sets reminds me that I have a gift too.
For realsies. Thanks guys. Love the pod but more is you guys sharing your hearts.
Dig it!!
A Penny for Your Podcast
I am so grateful for finding this podcast. Every episode is thoughtful. A few have cracked me wide open. I love it when a letter is related to something I am going though in that very moment and it helps me make sense of things. I call that a lucky penny. Thanks for everything. Xoxo
