    Ghosts

    Ghosts

    It’s time to get spooOOooOOooky. Today we’re talking to actress, comedian and podcast host, Sarah Hillier (she/her) about her paranormal obsession: GHOSTS. Gather round as we discuss ghost stories, other-worldly experiences, why there are no caveman ghosts, why spirits might be annoyed by seances, a brush with an undead spider, and ghost-proof architecture. Plus a lightning round game that quickly descends into ‘which ghost is the hottest’ and never quite recovers.

    Muppets

    Muppets

    It’s time to start the music and light the lights because we’re joined by professional puppeteer, Jordan Brownlee (he/him), to talk about the world’s most famous felt-based comedy troupe -  THE MUPPETS! We get into the legacy of Jim Henson and his team, how he brought puppetry to an adult sketch variety world, iconic muppet moments, memorable guest stars and the great lengths (and very awkward positions) that muppet performers put themselves through to bring your favorite characters to life. Plus, we discuss the books that we would most love to get ‘the muppet treatment’ and get an inside look on the process of becoming a Muppet performer.
