We had our first record on October 5th, recording an amazing 9 (2-minute) Episodes in 4 hours! From left to right featuring our extremely talented voice talent: Annie Mumulo (voice of Jimmy and Natalie!), Greg Ellis (voice of the villian, Specter!), Mike Gray (Story Editor/Head Writer), Eric Bauza (Monkeys, Professor, and the creepy Hot Cross Bun!). The record went fantastic, with everyone turing in hilarious performances!
