“You don’t get many opportunities to read a character like Gwyneth in Stinker Lets Loose!, as adapted by Mike Sacks for Audible,” said Seehorn. “Probably just one. And I had a blast doing it! The listener will be stupefied with the insistent intensity of the story coming at your face. It’s storytelling you just can’t stop. I hope everyone enjoys it and laughs their heads off even half as much as I did listening to my fellow cast mates and working with Mike Sacks and the folks at Audible.”

“They made me grow a mustache to read this,” said Hamm. “And I’m so glad they did.”
