With its official release set for September 12, this laugh-out-loud audio series takes a comedic deep dive into male friendships, wedding disasters, and the delicate art of delivering the perfect best man speech.

In The Best Man’s Ghostwriter, Powell stars as Nate, a professional speechwriter-for-hire who saves countless weddings from disastrous best-man speeches. Nate has a system of speech “don’ts,” which includes avoiding ex-relationships, inappropriate jokes, and steering clear of emotional downers. But Nate’s foolproof system is put to the test when he’s hired by Dan (Nicholas Braun), the awkward best man for a high-profile social media influencer’s wedding.

To make matters more complicated, Nate is in the midst of planning his own wedding, forcing him to confront a painful breakup with his former best friend, who would have been his ideal choice for best man. The journey of speechwriting and self-discovery dives deep into the complexities of male friendships and the challenges they present while exploring themes of vulnerability, personal growth, and loyalty.
