    Janet Varney (Encore)

    Janet Varney (Encore)

    After last week's group show with Janet Varney we needed to go back and revisit one of her early appearances (from May 6, 2012) because, as a listener said, her voice is like a warm hug!
    Original description: Janet Varney, comedian, actor, voice over actor, producer, writer and host of The JV Club podcast stopped by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to chat about why “real life” can feel like high school, Mormon summer camp, “borrowing” garments from the drama department, high school crushes, dancing and mirror faces and a zillion more things. We also did a round of JMOE (click here to see the JMOEs we put on the screen) and Alfred Schulz called in with Things You Never Hear People Say. Plus Topic Sombrero, iTunes Comment of the Week and your emails.

Alison Just Gets Me

I discovered Alison on another podcast that she co-hosted. I stopped listening to that other show the day she left and haven’t looked back. I relate to Alison on so many levels and I really get her humor. This podcast brightens my life and makes me laugh out loud even in the worst traffic. Alison is a talented interviewer who really gets into the soul of her Monday show guests. Husband Daniel gives the his mostly rational and hysterical views which I often agree with as well. The rotating Thursday gang has been super fun since the beginning. Love you!

HGFY ad lib!

Thanks, Alison! You're the best.

Best Show Ever!

I love listening to this podcast! Alison is relatable, entertaining and intelligent. I have especially been enjoying the shows with just Alison and Daniel. Their banter is endearing and never fails to make me laugh out loud.
Your fan,
Amanda Brown
