It's an adaptation of a one-act play Michael wrote, which you can check out here if you're interested in how things tend to change when massaged for film.

Greetings, dwindling number of Small Beans Patrons! We just wanted to dip in and tell you how much we appreciate your continued membership, and what it's allowed us to do. Namely, a major BEAN UPGRADE in the audio department.

Swaim here. As the above image of a loop indicates, this is a rap-related post. Adam and I played through Sonic 1 a bit yesterday, and this is the result. We're weird. Also, we beat Sonic CD in like two and a half hours!

As you may have heard in this week's Extree! Extree!, we've recently decided to take a big swing and start developing a feature film, as well as try to court advertisers and turn this community of generous Small Beans into a legit, ad-supported podcasting network populated by Medium, or indeed maybe even Giant Humongous Beans (a bean can dream).
As of now, we are stil...

We have our current goal tied to the production of a high-quality web series tentatively entitled Down Time, the details of which you may find familiar and can read about on the left rail of this page.

We feel so juzzed to be able to make a living doing what we love, and feel said love beamed back at us from our patrons in the form of modest sums of cash.
But at the same time as we've enjoyed the special connection with our most avid fans, we have to recognize that content behind our paywall is suffering in terms of exposure. Greatly. Case-...
