    JRSP-012: My Life In-Between with Lori Plager

    Episode 12 of Jett Road Studios Presents in the pilot for My Life In-Between, a collection of short stories written and performed by Lori Plager. Lori is an entertainment executive and single mother, who has been living with Stage 4 cancer. She has only told a handful of neighbors on her tight knit block, mainly because of how awkward and sad those interactions can be. She has tried dating, but that has its own set of challenges. Does she tell them on the first date? When writing her profile, should she put "long-term relationship" in quotes? Lori reads three of her stories for the pilot, Oh My God, I'm Dying, Unsaid, and My Non-Sex Life. She has written many more. Her writing is blunt, nuanced, and often funny. Her performance is polished, but at times raw, as she shares her inner thoughts with the listener, thoughts she had been keeping to herself until now. If you would like to contact Lori about My Life In-Between, you can email her at mylifeinbetween.podcast@gmail.com Jett Road Studios Presents is hosted by Will Becton & Amber Becton. ------------------ Jett Road Studios Website Instagram YouTube ------------------

    JRSP-011: Audio Time Capsule - Muddy Waters

    Episode 11 of Jett Road Studios Presents is the pilot for Audio Time Capsule, hosted by Will Becton. The first episode features an interview with Muddy Waters, recorded by Jeff Parrish in Westmont, Illinois. The year was 1976, and Muddy Waters had recently moved to the suburb of Chicago. Jeff Parrish was a local musician in the Chicago music scene. He was working for a local paper in Westmont when he got the opportunity to sit down with the blues legend. In the interview Muddy Waters tells Jeff about influential figures like Son House, Little Walter, and Robert Johnson. They also discuss his transition from acoustic and electric guitar, after the move from Mississippi to Chicago in the 1940s. The two men also speak candidly about race, bands like The Rolling Stones and The Allman Brothers, and whether white musicians were capable of carrying on the blues tradition when the old guard was no longer around. After writing that newspaper article almost 50 years ago, Jeff kept the recording "in a shoe box" for many years, and has only played the audio from the interview for a handful of people. When visiting LA one summer, Jeff played the recording for Will Becton at Jett Road Studios. Will and Jeff agreed any interview with Muddy Waters is significant, and should be shared, but it needed some context. Recently, Will and Jeff sat down to talk about the circumstances surrounding the interview, in order to tell the full story of that fateful morning in Westmont. ------------------ Jett Road Studios Website Instagram YouTube ------------------ People & Places Mentioned Willie Dixon Howlin' Wolf Little Walter Willie Mabon Baby Face Leroy Jimmy Rogers Memphis Slim Elga Edmonds Hound Dog Taylor Elmore James Skip James Mississippi Fred McDowell Robert Johnson Son House Johnny Brown Mississippi Sheiks Lonnie Johnson Chess Records The Rolling Stones Allman Brothers The Trieste Lounge Eddy Clearwater Blind Blake Blind Willie McTell

For the pilot, Eddie sits down with Ashley Rouse, who is the Executive Director of the Edible Schoolyard Project at the Alice Waters Institute for Edible Education in Berkeley, CA. Ashley was also born to a black father, and white mother. Ashley also grew up in an all-white household, and had many unanswered questions while growing up in Atlanta, GA.

    JRSP-006: Bad Elizabeth

    Episode 6 of Jett Road Studio Presents delves into the True Crime genre with the pilot for the future hit series "Bad Elizabeth." The show features one notorious Elizabeth from History or Pop Culture per episode. Whether they are murderers, scammers, or just shitty people, your hosts Gideon Evans and Kathy Egan-Taylor will guide you through these sordid stories breezily, as if you overheard them at a cocktail party. Gideon Evans and Kathy Egan-Taylor are old friends, but stress that they are definitely NOT old. They met while working on "TV Nation" with Michael Moore, and were office mates on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" (the first go-around). Evans and Egan-Taylor have a shared-love of gallows humor, and are judgmental in a fair way. Our first Bad Elizabeth is the notorious TV writer Elisabeth Finch, who rose to prominence while working on the hit show Grey's Anatomy. The fact that Finch spells her first name with an "S" is bad enough, but the never-ending buffet of misdeeds she unleashed on those close to her is really something to behold. By the end of the episode Gideon and Kathy must decide if Elisabeth with an "s" Finch deserves the title of "Bad Elizabeth." ---------------- Part one of Vanity Fair article about Elisabeth Finch Part two of Elisabeth Finch article in Vanity Fair Anatomy of Lies: Documentary about Elisabeth Finch ------------------ Recorded at Jett Road Studios Website Instagram YouTube

She and Amber Becton (co-host of Jett Road Studios Presents as well as a costume designer) met recently on a commercial shoot, where they bonded over their shared love of family history.
