MenyukaiShelby Plummer first heard of Slaughterhouse-Five from an internet boyfriend. After being grounded for having an internet boyfriend, she got to actually read the book as an AP English assignment and has been a Vonnegut devotee ever since. She devoured his novels and short stories in a way she had never really engaged with reading. He made a fellow Hoosier feel less alone for thinking it was OK to want everyone to be treated well through life, to read and write about aliens, and to make dirty jokes along the way. Shelby carried those philosophies through an expedient college career and still apples them all the time to her comedy writing and performing.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiCasey has put his general health and wellbeing on the line as he works up to 30 hours editing each episode of NeoScum, an actual-play podcast in which five Chicago improvisers (including Casey himself as well as past MBSing guest Mike Migdall) play the tabletop RPG Shadowrun. A longtime lover and performer of musicals, Casey's level of perfectionism and lack of self-confidence launched him into editing the show and the rest, as they say, is history. In spite of the occasional pains from nerve damage and Twitter complaints, the show has been a source for absolute passion and pride in Casey and it means everything to him to be honoring the magic he creates with his friends while giving listeners a heartfelt journey. Notes: NeoScum! Casey says the editing really took off at around episode 14 or 15 and his favorites so far are around 18 or 19.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiTom Dyke has known the original 151 by heart since he was a preschooler, his pure fandom being born along with the Pokémon franchise itself. He has played the video games since he could hold a Game Boy, and his dad was the only adult in the neighborhood who would help he and his friends play the trading card game. So one can imagine his delight at the advent of a mobile game that would allow him, and potentially his friends, to catch Pokémon all over the world. Tom unpacks the ups and downs of being a Pokémon Go devotee, how its gameplay fits into the larger picture of the franchise and gaming in general, and how far the game has come since its bare bones launch. Finally, Tom and MBS become official Poképals by trading some 'mons on mic.

In college, she declared a Middle-Eastern Studies and Political Theory double major to feed her thirst for knowledge on how the history of colonialism influences the sociology of current cultures.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiBox Brown has been a pro wrestling fan since his first PPV experience: Hulk Hogan lost at Wrestlemania VI, and the friend he was watching with cried. He was hooked by the characters and the facade of it all, so it's no wonder that he became attracted to two huge cults of personality in André and Andy. André left a bevy of stories in his wake, one of which inspired Box to draw the first comic of what eventually became his book, André the Giant: Life and Legend. Later, Box was hooked by the way Andy borrowed the idea of wrestlers being enveloped by their characters into comedy, and his antics with Jerry Lawler on Letterman secured him a place in the history of wrestling's secrets and Box's interest. Notes: Box's most recent book, Is This Guy For Real?: The Unbelievable Andy Kaufman is a fascinating read for fans of comedy and wrestling alike.

Now, Chels prides themselves on creating worlds professionally as a B2B content specialist and creatively as a host of Sell Me A Pup, a show where comedians review made-up media. There's a lot of talk about how much pickier we tend to be with media now, relishing in representation and prickling at problematic jokes and storylines.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiHal's enthusiasm knows few bounds, especially when it comes to the joys and silliness of professional wrestling. From his childhood fandom when WWF was only regional wrestling in the Northeast to having every match every week immediately available via the WWE Network, Hal's seen a lot of facets of wrestling at home, ringside, and even during one backstage endeavor (!!). There's talk of wrestler's music endeavors, the wonderful Aronofsky film The Wrestler, and what Hal would try to get over on audiences if he had the chance. Notes: SB Nation piece from a first-time watcher of wrestling Hal's shows Tights and Fights and We Got This The Nerdologues Kickstarter for Competition Kitchen Savvy MBSing listeners will note that Alex Trepka talked about pro wrestling on episode 23, but MBS and Hal are both aware of that and OK with it.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiEnrico Fermi posed to his colleagues in 1950 that if aliens exist, where the heck are they? The Fermi paradox is a conflict between arguments of scale and probability that seem to favor intelligent life being common in the universe and a total lack of evidence of intelligent life having ever arisen anywhere else. Drew has been pondering this pseudoparadox since he was a science-interested young person devouring Sci-Fi novels and films, and as an adult he's been able to explore more of both the stats that have gone into the probability of ET life and the filters that life has to pass through into continued existence. The result is his structuring a wonderfully interesting dialogue about the existence of non-Earth-based intelligent life and why we may not have seen it yet.

Mark saw the show on Broadway with its original cast as a high school southerner doing college visits, and it kinda changed his life. In addition to introducing him to a world of artists and diversity (and disease) he had no concept of, it "reaffirmed and maybe even instilled [his] love of a big ensemble of people trying to tell a meaningful story together." For this hour, there's only us, there's only this, and this is talking about how great Rent is.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiArnie Niekamp wants you to watch television shows he likes, but he's apprehensive about blanket recommendations of inconsistent shows. Some of his favorite television is wrapped up in shows that have ups and downs (Fringe, Twin Peaks, X-Files...), and we all know how hard it is to get into a new show that starts slow AND how hard it is to turn one's back on an old favorite. We explore episodic TV vs. serial stories, how hard it is to make a good sitcom pilot (or hell, first season), and the merits of rebooting shows that have been off the air for ages. We also peel back how TV and Arnie's inability to give up on it has seeped into his work on Hello From the Magic Tavern thus far.

Rest assured she's already got [three separate sets of] tickets for The Force Awakens and plenty to talk about where Harrison Ford is concerned (that factors into the dating stuff, too). Turns out if you have sky high expectations for someone you only know a checklist of things about and are trying to compare him to a Hollywood romantic lead, the outcome may not live up to the hype.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiMeaghan Strickland spent every summer of her youth bouncing around from basketball camp to basketball camp due to her dad's position as a high school/college basketball coach. Her own journey as a player from childhood through her high school days was always colored by his insistence on mastering the fundamentals, so we pass stories back and forth of our summers: hers being bball camp-learned skills, mine being getting (mostly cross-) cast in numerous community theatre productions. We most certainly meandered topic-wise, but I cannot stress how much fun this was to record. Meaghan makes me laugh as easily as LeBron James makes a routine layup. We also cover how types of improvisers compare to basketball (and baseball) positions, how Meaghan finds herself thinking about characters and athletes as men and why we think that's the case, how sports camps should have pointed us towards creative pursuits earlier in our lives, and the Justin Timberlake film In Time.

1:38:27 Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka Menyukai1:38:27
Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiBecca Brown has been attending concerts since she was five or six watching Carlos Santana with her father and realized that was an actual thing people could do for a living: be a performing rock musician. (Yes, she IS young enough that this was around the time of Santana's collaboration on "Smooth" with Rob Thomas, and yes we DO both unironically enjoy that song.) From here through more concerts (Elton John) and more exploring of strong women in rock (Janis Jopin), Becca solidified that she wanted performing and watching rock music to top her list of priorities. Her experience acting in School of Rock sealed the deal: she had "sold her soul" to rock. She asked her classical guitar teacher to help with an AC/DC medley for the school talent show (which didn't go over well with the broad, pop-loving student body), and she watched musicals and other performances from she knew with a more keen eye for things like stage presence and the emotion behind the music. Over the years her concert attendance has remained a constant (even though the company and illicit activities may have shifted a bit as she got older), and she hasn't missed a Lollapalooza since 2006. After developing a love for Green Day's American Idiot in high school and seeing them live six times, she's currently gracing the stage herself with the first Chicago production of the stage musical of the same name with The Hypocrites.

This is a really fun, interesting, creepy chat. I'm not much for the spooky stuff myself, so a lot of Tyler's tales are new, weird territory for me. I loved it, and he really brought home the way it has affected his life creatively by tying his writing career to the search for knowledge on the paranormal: "that quest for the unknown creates opportunities for what becomes the known."

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiWhile we focus mainly on the politics of the time (and of ours), this conversation with Cody certainly reveals in him a broad, deep-seeded love of this time in our nation's history and a ton of insight on how it got us where we are as a nation. Cody just got back from some touring through the colonial states, so be prepared for more delightful Marquis de Lafayette stories than you can shake a musket at. There's also plenty of chatting about how we would fix the current political landscape (because clearly we are experts) and how the Internet Age has become its own Enlightenment of sorts. Check out In Falsitas Veritas and/or Star-Spangled Sitcoms for the fruits of Cody's creative labor, all in some way inspired by these topics.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiMom and I break down nearly every branch of the Braverman family tree as we discuss her favorite TV show, Parenthood. We mostly focus on how the casting, writing, and even music of the show make it such a strong, emotional exploration of a variety of hardships and heartfelt moments in the life of a big family. We spend more time on the moments we can relate to more directly, and my mom shares a lot of insight on how the homemaker priorities of her generation and her mother's are examined in the show. Fans of the show will especially enjoy this ep, and non-fans won't be able to resist checking it out and sharing it with their families. Notes: We neglect to credit Sam Jaeger as Joel, Savannah Paige Rae as Sydney, Max Burkholder as Max, Joy Bryant as Jasmine, Tyree Brown as Jabbar, Sarah Ramos as Haddie, and Xolo Maridueña as Victor. I think we caught everybody else, but just because I couldn't rattle off these names doesn't mean they don't deserve some credit. This didn't make the mic, but Parenthood is a loose adaptation of the 1989 film of the same name and was preceded by a star-studded show that lasted a season in 1990.

It continued with having the opportunity to meet cast members and attend show tapings while working with Sketch Up at University of Maryland.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiIt's easy to think there's some sort of god complex going on with Jules, but it seems more like a genuinely joyous and creative person genuinely interested in the goings-on of the people around her. What better way to entertain that than playing in a Sims world? From Sims Tumblrs to How Addicted to The Sims Are You BuzzFeed lists to stealing away in a Boston coffee shop to download Sims 3 to refusing to playing on her iPhone because there's not enough room to interact with the world, Jules is just obsessed with the simulated families and situations the game brings. Listen in to find out how many different ways Sims can die, what their sex lives are like, and the tragic/odd otherworldly things that can befall them whether brought on my a game glitch or a particularly evil overlord. Plus, some hot tips on the best music options within The Sims. Thanks to Basecamp and The Chicago Podcast Cooperative for their sponsorship and support.…

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiJo Scott has boys. Jo Scott takes the boys places. The Chicago Park District has the best places to take them. Hear about all of the possible classes, programs, and settings the park district has to offer everyone in Chicago and remember that going outside and being active is both fun and affordable. Some of my favorite moments are Jo's descriptions of the people teaching the classes and the ways the boys have taken to organized sports. Stick around for some thoughts on internet culture, identical twins, hoop dreams, and Wiggleworms. Check out Jo's webseries with past guest Jeff Murdoch, Curfeud.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiEver since her first taste of unlimited television, Ilana Gordon has been obsessed (though maybe not with the shows you'd think). After getting a degree in writing for TV/film, she relocated to Chicago and snagged some writing gigs after a bunch of fun with improv and sketch. We talk about her time working for the Steve Harvey Show, ways she motivates herself to write, and a bunch of shows we like. Don't worry, we do talk about that whole Miss Universe thing, too.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiWarren Arnold has got it bad for bad movies. Ever since his childhood in rural Arkansas forced him to choose between televangelists or the one movie airing on cable, he's taken the low road (high road? who can say) of watching hilariously bad films. This led him to a very specific appreciation for poking fun at these horrible projects via MST3K. We talk about the ideas of joking without tearing down, rebooting beloved properties, and getting at the crux of where a hilariously bad movie went off the rails. Pod People, Manos: The Hands of Fate, The Room, Troll 2, and Werewolf all get some love (hate?) as well as a bad film Warren spent a day on set for witnessing firsthand where projects can go wrong (bonus points for anyone who can track it down).

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiIt's a very special college reunion episode of MBSing with dear friend, former improv teammate, and playwright Bryson Howard who has more love for France than anyone I've ever met. We talk about his early years in French classes, spending a semester abroad in Versailles, and his current stay as a teacher in a program called TAPIF just outside of Paris. It's many, many laughs, some pep talks, and a sobering conversation towards the end regarding his experience during and thoughts on the Paris attacks in 2015.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiMegan Johns has been creatively collaborating in some capacity for what seems to be her entire life. After thriving in programs like Odyssey of the Mind as a young person fueled by her parents' creative encouragement, Meg has been a part of bringing people together to create shows in Chicago (mainly at the Annoyance Theatre and as a part of The New Colony theatre company) for over a decade. We chat about how personality types, fear and anxiety, and finding a balance between healthy compromise and pushing one's own ideas all play into these projects. Meg strives to actively, joyfully, and adventurously make theatre happen, and she's an inspiration to me (and has been since right after my move to Chicago, as you'll find out herein).

Basecamp is excellent for project management) and the Chicago Podcast Cooperative for creating support and a community where there wasn't one.…

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiMeghan has been booking performers for and hosting Thunderdome, an irreverent comedy variety show, for almost a year. We get into a lot of the frustrations and revelations that have arisen as a result, including the inevitability of a weekly show happening regardless of being ready for it, balancing life (school, love, self) with being an aspiring performer, and the energy necessary to book the best, most diverse acts. There's some talk in here on the current state of the Chicago comedy community where women and show density are concerned, and we explore what it's like to take over a show and maintain its voice while being true to and discovering your own. Plus, there's a story in here about when Thunderdome became an impromptu one-woman show that is EASILY worth the price of admission ($3). Thanks to Emporium Arcade Bar for sponsoring.

After I chat with them as actors (and director/adaptor in Mary-Kate's case), we delve into Shakespeare plays we love, like, hate, and hate that we like to round out a conversation on how influential he truly is even after 400 years.

Putar Nanti Putar Nanti Daftar Suka MenyukaiShannon's been giving tours of Chicago for about a year now, and she gave an hour of her time in the off season to tell me about what works, what doesn't, and who the biggest troublemakers are on her laissez-faire bus tours. She gets the opportunity to cater tours however she wants, so she's had a great time diving into more of Chicago's darker, more realistic history. I love that one of Shannon's favorite aspects of touring is finding out about the customers and what brought them to Chicago. I can see why the Venn diagram of comedians to guides overlaps quite a bit. Thanks to Basecamp for sponsoring and the Chicago Podcast Cooperative for their ongoing support.
