Livestream for the Cure | Fundraising for Cancer Research with the Epic Film Guys (TSB111)

This will be a different episode from normal, since I normally don’t do interview shows, but I wanted to bring on Nick from the Epic Film Guys to talk a little bit about the fundraiser he and other podcasters are doing called Livestream for the Cure.

Nick is one of my oldest friends in podcasting and we met each other when we were in the beginning stages of podcasting, so I know you’ve heard me talk about him before. He was even on the episode The Story Behind Forrest Gump (The Movie) and he’s also provided me with his voice for previous shows and even a picture of his Beard for The Story Behind Beards. He’s a great friend to me and supporter of the show, so I am so honored to have him as a guest on today’s episode.

I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Livestream for the Cure.
