Pep #1 (20 apr. 2020)

“PEP! (A Vlog)” by Richard F. Yates

This is an impromptu video blog about how I’m killing time! I discuss stuff like cereal, comics, Godzilla, and the difference between a porch swing and a backyard swing. (Hint: It’s mostly LOCATION.)

If you find this content enjoyable, let me know. Maybe I’ll make another one someday!

Here are some of the bits I mentioned (or that you might have seen) in the video:
