Kids, yo...they're wild (Minisode with Tosin Morohunfola)
We could all use a laugh about now, right? Guest Tosin Morohunfola tells some tales of his many storied years in Kansas City and Chicago theatre, including the time he could have gotten himself fired for a slipup on a kid's show, and a couple of times where he may or may not have completely screwed up the entire run of a show...

Trick? Or treat?
Tech gods Lindsey Sharpless and Jeremy Ledbetter chat with me about an immersive horror experience we all did a few years ago, where crew and cast alike had to improvise around spooked audience behavior and unending tech issues.
Lindsey's company can be found @vernalandseretheatre. See what Jeremy's cooking @ledbetter_jeremy. -

A Real Sh**show (minisode with Meg Poole and Tara Costello)
Our guest Tara Costello gets "pissed off" when a volatile castmate does the unthinkable to sauce up a Shakespeare history play.
And speaking of bodily functions... Megan Poole bravely bares her story of when heartbreak and indigestion collide during a gut-wrenching dress tech for 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. -
You Get Back On the Horse (feat. Patrick Croce, Matt Clanton and Adrian Jacobs)
Do real guns and theatre mix? Not well for our first guest, Adrian Jacobs, who probably shouldn't be alive right now. Matt Clanton of Act Tactical lends his expertise on live firearms and performance.
Then, Patrick Croce answers the ever-prevalent question, what do you do when you fall off the horse? ... Now, what about when you're in character and hundreds of people are watching you eat dirt?
