About the show: Mr. Mason’s Weekend Hotline is a podcast about a radio host running a mysterious call-in show with no number. Each episode features several callers calling in to the show to chime in regarding the topic of the episode. The mystery only deepens when a frightened scientist suddenly shows up in the middle of a recording. The man is horrified to find the studio has no exit.

The creator collected my (pretty extensive) monologue for this show and then did not, to my knowledge, ever return to the project. I will update if I ever find out that it is being made after all.

Creator’s Character Description: Caller #3 calls in about a dream she just had featuring Mr. Mason. The dream involved a strange world of metal rooms with no apparent escape. She forgets to give her name and has a slightly unsettling aura, like there’s just something a bit wrong with her. She’s a bit sleepy because she only just woke up.

What do I like best about playing this character: Getting to be someone’s weirdo on the phone is a real treat, to be honest. I just got to get weird with it, do odd things with the cadence of my phrases, make it clear that I’m not really all there. It’s a fun little world to play around in.

What do I like least about playing this character: Playing a one-off character is a little sad, that’s all.
