This episode was recorded over video conference call in July 2021. This is the final Summer Short of our second (2021) season, and features music from Professor Downfall. His song "Cronos" from his album "Sol" is our intro/outro music this season. You can find this song and more from him on Spotify, iTunes, and Bandcamp.

Preparedness Status was directed by Lyla Meadows, who also lends their voice to read the stage directions.  Avery Kester reads for Lou, our newest Resident Artist Steph Landtiser reads for Riley, returning guest readers Trevor Harter, Calvin Porterfield, and Bob Stevens read for Dad, Owen, and Mr. Slinky respectively. New guest readers Julia Neuder and Mary Schiermann read for Creamsicle and Mrs. Gasparini respectively.
