Every

time I start one of Lauren's audio dramas, I'm amazed at how quickly I get sucked into the worlds that she creates. The high concept ideas are intriguing. The storylines unfold with just enough revelations to keep me binging. And as a writer and as an actor, she brings a lot of warmth and humanity to the characters. So I was excited that I got a chance to talk with Lauren about her creative process. And we discussed two of her latest audio dramas, which are fascinating experiments in storytelling. The Bright Sessions deals with a lot of teen angst, which I can still relate to. I remember when I was in college, I developed bruxism, where you grind your teeth at night. It's related to stress, and I damaged my teeth to the point where I needed a mouth guard, which was expensive, even back then. The good news is that now, there's Remy. Remy makes dental-grade professional quality mouth guards without the painful price tag. They're up to 80% cheaper than what you'd pay the dentist, and you don't need to visit a dental office. Remy's process is simple. They send you an at-home impression kit to create molds of your teeth. You send them back to Remy, and Remy's dental team will make your custom fit guards and send them right back to you. I don't grind my teeth anymore, but I gave the Remy kit to my brother-in who does need it. And he found the whole process really easy and convenient. Remy is for anyone dealing with nighttime grinding, clenching, or jaw pain who wants an affordable solution to protect their smile and say goodnight to jaw pain and headaches.

Over the course of several seasons, Lauren added more characters, more locations, and brought in other writers. Dr. Bright's patience expanded to include a character who can enter people's dreams. People

can't control what they dream about, so sometimes I drop in on someone's nightmare or something, and then the next day I have to decide whether or not I tell them that I know they're afraid of ducks or whatever. It's awkward.
