OMG, the Questie Besties are halfway through the season! To celebrate, they’ve invited Questie Bestie Guestie and Mythic Quest writer and actor, Humphrey Ker, to the mic. Humphrey plays “Tall Paul” and he talks about the introduction of his character, what it’s like intimidating the boss (and everyone else) with his height, plus how he wasn’t sure his back muscles could endure lifting Rob up repeatedly. They also dig into the birth of Wyld_D, the hilarious and evolving dynamic between Poppy and David, and the many British insults that Humphrey sprinkles throughout the show. So get to listening, you toilets!
