    Ted and Michael have to write a lot of sketches each season. Here's how they do it! Ted and Michael Read Sketches into Microphones is a non-union production. While the creators wholeheartedly support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, and some are even members of these unions, this podcast is not affected by the strikes. We stand with the unions. Plus we paid our performers and crew fairly, respected their time, and no one involved owns a yacht. In addition to your hosts Ted O'Gorman and Michael Paul Smith, this season features the voice talent of Nick Costa, Jennie Harney-Fleming, Aneesa Folds, Dave Hanson, Mike Houston, James Monroe Iglehart, C. Julian Jimenez, Eddy Lee, Hallie O'Gorman, Mike O'Gorman, Gillian Pensavalle, Emmanuel Polycarpe, Luke Sholl, Lily Talevski, Michael Torpey, and Nik Walker. Season Four of Ted and Michael Read Sketches into Microphones was recorded by Chelsey Cohen, with editing, mixing, and sound design by Tom Kelly at Clean Cut Audio. Gillian Pensavalle is the executive producer, and this season was also produced in association with our friends over at Mischief Media. https://tedandmichael.mischiefmedia.com/ The podcast on Instagram: @tedandmichaelpodcast Mike on Instagram and TikTok: @mpsmithnyc Ted on Instagram: @ted_ogorman
