For those of you who use vent to teach, minister, or as part of your therapy or social work practice, what is your experience like? How do students and clients receive the puppets? Let us know here. In my opinion vent is useful in many, many settings. (FYI, before I was born, my mom was a summer camp counselor and used a Jerry Mahoney figure dressed as a Girl Scout to teach water safety and tell scary stories. She admits she wasn’t the best ventriloquist but the information got through and this was a hit with the campers).

Hello, everyone! I hope you’re doing well! I am writing this post so you know what’s happening. Yesterday, I filled out an application for BCTV to do a program. I haven’t heard anything yet, but I am so excited to hear when the results come in. Please keep this program in your thoughts and prayers. The program will be on my ventriloquism journey, in case you were wondering.
