Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Join Mike in the studio late on a Saturday night.
Show notes: Why does improvisational theatre get such a bad rap? Two improv-themed shows on Netflex: “Middleditch and Schwartz†and “Don’t Think Twiceâ€; the history of improv and negative impressions; the time I embarrassed myself in an improv class with the Second City (it still makes me cringe to this day); lightning struck a tree outside my house this week; Music Break*; a toast to Regis Philbin, who passed away this week at 88; “Live with Regis and Kathy Lee†and “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?â€; cool guys in 80’s films; Video Street Video Store**; hindsight is 2020, like the year.
*Music Break: “Necrofago†by Dr. Frankenstein; “Evil Itch†by The Space Merchants. All music is played under a Creative Commons License (Attribution, noncommercial, no derivatives) and is available at the Freemusicarchive.org.
**Video Street Video Store: Early AOL Commercial (1995); DIVX Promo Video (1998)
