Welcome to RnG! A show of thoughtful tangents where Rob and G talk with incredible guests from all over the TTRPG space. This episode features Max Volpert. For a video version of this episode, head on over to Patreon.com/DiceSized.
She’s our dear friend, as well as the co-founder of Spit It Out! Audio which offers handcrafted audio services in podcasting, television, film, video games, theatre, music composition, and more.
You may know her from her performance as Audrey in the 2016 Rutgers High School Musical Theater Academy production of Little Shop of Horrors.
Or perhaps as Daisy in Darcy Thompson’s short film “The Falling Star.”
Or as the creator of the introspective and moving stop motion short film “A Quiet Life in the Stars”
And of course, she’s one of the incredible cast and the brilliant sound design mind behind the critically acclaimed actual-play podcast, Rivers of Confluence.
It’s Max Volpert!
