My teenage Bloody Mary urban legend story spends more time describing paint colors and floor plans than actually scaring anyone. Co-host Chris and I read every cream-colored detail written by someone who had clearly never been to a raging party before finally reaching the scare on page eight.

My teenage sci-fi horror story has three pages of lore, space elves who crouch-walk everywhere, and giants described in a deeply unfortunate way. Now I’m reading it out loud. Voice actor Chris Harris-Beechy joins me from inside my TV to roast “Nocturne,” a handwritten story from 2007 that was never meant to be seen again. Episodes released weekly.

At some point in their life, most writers have written really terrible stories. Vince Dajani has, for some reason, kept them all. Now he's going to force his very talented actor friends to read them. Every week on Character Development, a comedy podcast, Vince and a guest who has regrettably accepted, read through a sci-fi, horror or thriller piece of writing. There are teen slasher's where every character sounds edgy as hell. There's sci -fi giants that read just a little bit too much like giant penises. And there's a murderer who enjoys musical theater for some reason. With guests like Brandon Kyle Goodman, Guillermo Diaz, Katie Lowe's and Sarah Golding, there's sure to be laughs and plenty of cringing.
