Welcome to News You Want<\/strong>, the network that delivers the news you\u2019ve been waiting for.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Who we are<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re a creative duo based in beautiful Alberta, Canada. We go by Bee<\/strong> and Shane<\/strong>, but you\u2019re welcome to call us Julio and Barbra. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What we do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We produce comedy across a variety of media. The News You Want podcast<\/strong> is a radio dramedy<\/strong>, the website features our writing<\/strong> and artwork<\/strong>, and our YouTube channel features our animations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How we do it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All of the concepts, artwork, writing, voice acting(!), and sound engineering is done by us in our home studio. We use a variety of free or inexpensive tools for all of our projects. The rest is sheer grit and talent. \ud83e\udd18<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are our most commonly used tools:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affinity:<\/strong> For all of the vector drawings that we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DaVinci Fusion:<\/strong> For all of the animating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davinci Fairlight:<\/strong> For recording and all of the sound engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audacity:<\/strong> For some recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samson:<\/strong> The microphones that we use for recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gutenberg WordPress editor:<\/strong> For website design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proton:<\/strong> For documents, shared files, meetings, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why we do it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This world, amirite? First and foremost- we want to make people laugh<\/strong>. Laughter is such crucial medicine. It relaxes us and puts things in perspective, it reminds us of what joy feels like, and it empowers us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we don\u2019t mind that it makes our targets cry- that feels important to us and makes each project special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
