The Mortified Podcast Radiotopia

To celebrate twenty years of Mortified, hear two performances -- one from this past year and the other, originally performed at the first ever Mortified performance.  This episode features performances by Kate Keleher and Kerri Pomarolli.  Find Kerri's standup comedy at http://www.kerripom.com

Mortified celebrates 20 years with a friendly beer-league-level competition that pits city vs city.  This week, Mortified's Portland chapter faces off against Mortified's Austin chapter.  Stories include: A middle schooler turns detective in her pursuit of her crush. And, a boy who turns into Medieval royalty to feel better about his social status. 

Ever wonder how Mortified began? To celebrate the project's 20th anniversary, Mortified founder David Nadelberg shares the show's origin story including: never-before-heard recordings from the debut stage show, behind the scenes trivia and the unsent love letter that started it all. 

Surprise episode! Hear the journal of Brett Freedman, a closeted middle schooler in the 1980s who tries to keep 2 things alive— his fish and his hopes for romance. Recorded in Los Angeles. Featured in our encore segment: Jimmy Radosta’s Grinch-y Christmas journal, recorded in Portland, OR. And stay tuned, a batch of new episodes are coming in the first half of 2024.
