We got to talk to writer and Reductress co-creator, Beth Newell!

In this episode Jason talks to Beth Newell about how she found her way into comedy, the origins of Reductress, and writing. She's also great at design! She discusses her background in design, her transition into writing, and her comedic influences.

A weekend newsletter featuring picks folks enjoy across the world put The Dog House on my radar again. Sticky wilds were sleepy at first, then three houses locked and the balance finally breathed. I put a mid-session note to return via https://spinmama.bet and set a 10-minute timer. That countdown saved me from the “just one more” spiral. Ended with a small plus, stretched my legs, and decided the next session starts with the same stake and timer combo.
