Last Sunday, I braved Skype (with limited success) and guest ranted at Rant & Banter, a new podcast series via Angry Patrons. Angry Patrons is the brainchild of Monet Hurst-Mendoza & James Daniel Haro.

Long story short: I run the auditions for The Antaeus Academy twice a year. I’ve seen all the Hellenas, Juliets, Henry IV’s that maybe I care to see. I’ve noticed they run in trends: fall 2008 it was all Jailer’s Daughters, last spring was almost entirely Hermione and Imogens, this year a plethora of Juliets. …
