Hey, I'm Otis, and I'm an independent radio producer. I'm the host of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.sleepyradio.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sleepy</a>, a weekly podcast where I read you to sleep with old books.&nbsp; ZZZzzzz.. .&nbsp; I've always had trouble sleeping, but my voice has always helped other doze off. So I started this show. Since starting Sleepy, I've been blown away by the response. After humbly starting in 2018, the podcast is now downloaded in over 100 countries, and has nightly listeners who can't go without it. Some, insomniacs who've found comfort in the melodic stories, and now get the much needed sleep they deserve.&nbsp; I love making this show. It takes time, care, and is just one piece of my hustle puzzle as an independent radio producer. So I'd be honored if you would be part of creating this show that is 100% dedicated to snoozing, and helps people all over the world catch some zZZzzZZzz's&nbsp; sweet dreams. A little more about Otis.&nbsp;Otis is a storyteller, writer, and freelance radio producer from rural Vermont. He is a multi Moth StorySlam winner, the founder of the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.hungryradio.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hungry</a> podcast, and produces work for national podcasts/radio shows. He has produced shows for Sesame Street, Audible, and SXSW. His work has also appeared on the Gravy Podcast, Making Contact, BRIC Radio, WCAI, and WAMU among others.&nbsp;Recently graduating from the Transom Story Workshop, Otis now produces branded and non-branded content with an emphasis on food, travel, and cultural understanding. He's also sober as of October 2020!

Christina Manuge of Manuge et Toi Design 

Hey there!My name is Christina Manuge, and I am proud to be Canada's #1 Burlesque Costume Designer. I work under the name Manuge et Toi Design, and have been creating unique, luxurious costumes for burlesque performers all over the world, since 2008.I’m SO THRILLED to be here, on Patreon. For years, I have been trying to help MORE burly babes to look and feel their best. Not everyone can afford couture-level costuming like what I offer through Manuge et Toi. But EVERY performer deserves the confidence that a beautifully made costume can provide. So, I’m here to help with that!&nbsp; My goal with this platform is to help you improve your own costuming skills (no matter what level you’re at currently). Wether you’re doing it for yourself, or for others, I want to share my knowledge and experience with YOU. Through constant additions to my costuming tutorial series “TIPS ON TAP”, paired with behind the scenes insights, I’m doing just that. All you need to do, is let yourself in!Xx ChristinaFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:Will I need any fancy equipment to follow Tips on Tap tutorials?Nope! My approach is very low-tech. I use a home sewing machine. I draft patterns by hand. I place one rhinestone at a time.How advanced are these tutorials?Tips on Tap tutorials vary in difficulty. But regardless of skill level, I believe anyone can follow along and learn something valuable from each one. My goal is to help you improve your skills no matter what level you’re at currently!What level of SEWING skill do I need before I start with Tips on Tap?In regards to hand sewing, you need no pre-existing skills at all. I’ll walk you through it. In regards to machine sewing, you simply need to be comfortable with your machine. That means: 1) You’re not afraid of it, and you know how to thread it. 2) You’re comfortable doing zigzag, straight stitch, and backstitch. 3) You can control where your stitches go. What tier gets me access to ALL of the tutorials?Go for GOLD tier (and up)!

Huge Thanks.
