No. 348 - Jacob Sorling On Authenticity In Improv
We have a great chat with actor, producer, and improviser, Jacob Sorling!
Jacob and Jason immediately dive into a thoughtful chat about improv principles, approaching scene work authentically, the traps of "trying to be funny," the improv hack to having plot in improv, how specificity helps fuel the humor of scenes, making scenes feel real, the different ways in doing scenes based on a suggestion, and much more!

No. 347 - A Wedding Episode
Congratulations to us! We're married!! Jason and Justina chronicle their wedding day and give listeners a peek behind-the-scenes of what their special wedding weekend was like! This was a labor of love experienced with many friends of the podcast! It was a momentous occasion filled with so much love and joy and surprises! We'll get more into those details when the "Of the Show" gang returns to do a bonafide recap. For now, listen to what it was like behind the scenes.

No. 346 - Actor and Stand-Up Dave Merheje On Finding His Voice
We talked to stand-up comedian and actor, Dave Merheje! Jason met Dave many years ago because they both performed on a stand-up show together called The Most Races Show on Earth. After talking about that show, Dave talks about starting comedy in college in his home town in Windsor, his process for learning the structure of comedy, how he got his acting gigs in "Ramy" and "Sometimes I Think About Dying" and what filming those projects were like, what grinding it out early on taught him about finding himself to find his voice, and much more!

No. 345 - Improviser Anatasha Blakely On Catching The Wave
We got to talk to improviser, writer, and filmmaker, Anatasha Blakely! Anatasha and Jason dive right into a thrilling conversation which incidentally is one of our most inspiring we've ever had on the podcast. Anatasha talks about the artistic life she wants to achieve, the wisdom of Rick Rubin and Bruce Lee, the marriage of playfulness and joy with vulnerability in improv, being brave and taking chances in her performances, how she got into films like Predator despite being in a Mormon household, her film work, and much more.

No. 344 - Amy Bugg On Work And Comedy Life Balance
We talk to Canada-based stand-up, Amy Bugg! Jason caught Amy while she was on the road in California at the Bergamot Comedy Fest! Amy and Jason have a fun chat about how Amy got started in comedy, doing jokes that weren't true to who she is before finding her voice, how comics can present their POV, her day job in accounting and some tax tips, work-life balance, what it took to produce her own special, and what her lifestyle on the road is like.

Pop Talk: Actor Families Bracket (No. 343)
Inspired to do another bracket we decided to pit actor families against each other. All the actor families (minus several we eliminated) and this is the bracket! Jason is joined by the Bridal Party of the Show to talk all that pop about actor families and more! We've got Best Man of the Show, Trey, Groomsman of the Show, Rob, and Fiancée of the Show, Justina, here to nerd out on who their favorite actor families are. It's a fun chat on a deceptively hard bracket to fill out!
(Note: after recording we added the Gyllenhaals, Streep/Gummers, and Fannings to the bracket who were left out due to an unforgiveable oversight and therefore are not in the discussion)
