## Resource

The Turners are joined this week by the iconic female voices of Spongebob Squarepants. They'll hear from Mary Jo Catlett (voice of Mrs. Puff) Jill Talley (voice of Karen Plankton) Carolyn Lawrence (voice of Sandy Cheeks) Lori Allen (Pearl Krabs) and Sirena Irwin (voices of Flibberty Gibbet & many others). They chat about how the Gal Pals came to be, their time in the booth together and the changes since 2020. They discuss the difference in acting vs. voice acting and if their thoughts when celebrities are cast in films and TV shows for voice acting. They talk about how they come up with different voices and the process of recording the voices and how the episode comes together. They share why they think the show has resonated with audiences for over 25 years and tell some fun fan encounter stories. They end the show with a quick round of rapid fire questions and some of their iconic lines from Spongebob.
