Prime Time Files Channel 101

Meet JD Ryznar, the smooth-talkin' fella you can no longer help but think about when you hear Michael McDonald sing. Together with David B. Lyons, Hunter Stair & (past guest on PTF) Hollywood Steve, JD Ryznar co-created an epic comedy web series about music, that made it beyond Channel 101 into the pages of Rolling Stone and out the mouths of some of the legends whose music they playfully interpreted the creation of. They currently have two podcasts out now to continue the discussion; called Yacht or Nyacht and Billion Dollar Record Club! Also check out JD's IMDb page for credits both in and out of Channel 101. THIS IS IT! Enjoy! -Todd

Meet Jesse Holcomb, the silk-voiced, comedic mastermind who blessed FREQUENCY 101 (R.I.P.) with characters on Annie & Diana's THE FARAH TUNK'S LISTENING TO OLD VIDEO TAPES IN HER CLOSET SHOW and Willy & Todd's BLOOD BLADE. Check out her IMDb for all kinds of non-101 work where you can SEE her speak, sing, dance, everything entertaining! This conversation was recorded Summer 2023, and you can still hear Jesse's voice when Bianca speaks, on Love is Blind: Brazil! Enjoy our chat, I fawn over her voice too much! -Todd

During his tenure as a screening attendee and composer for Channel 101 shows (e.g. GOOGY, FIRE GUYS, PLANET UNICORN, CAR JUMPER, BREAKING GOOD, CLASSROOM), Ryan was highly in-demand, sometimes making music for 5 or more shows in any month's screening! Harmon (co-creator of Channel 101) was thus inspired to apply Ryan's talent and ingenuity to projects like Acceptable.tv, Harmonquest, Harmontown: The Movie, and ultimately he became the musical voice of Rick and Morty... yes, the Adult Swim show! He took some time out from collaborating and using his gift to create tv/film magic, to chat with Todd about how he became the Ryan Elder he is today and how he feels about it! Enjoy : D

Meet the team who created the Prime Time show on Frequency 101, GHOST DETECTIVE! Sam Liebman, Holden Logan & Violet Van Buren (the latter of whom will also be returning to Channel 101's Prime Time with GNOME HOMES. For the last internship, semester/season - these three, while creating awesome shows, were operating the machinery that makes 101 GO; helping out during productions, screenings, promoting & marketing for 101.. while hopefully not: getting too many coffees or filling bowls with one color of M&M candy. Not THIS internship, baby!!! Fresh after dispersing from the internship and each other (geographically), the three reflect on their close-knit time, in the heat of it. Enjoy!
