Everything is Alive is an unscripted interview show in which all the subjects are inanimate objects. In each episode, a different thing tells us its life story--and everything it says is true.

Louis, Can of Cola
Welcome, new listeners. We're glad you're here. We always tell people to start at the beginning, so here's our very first episode. If you like it, we recommend going back to the start of the feed and continuing from there. But it's up to you. Louis is a can of cola. He's been on the shelf a long time, so he's had some time to think. Featuring Louis Kornfeld. Our website is everythingisalive.com.

Customer Reviews
Come back!!
So good.
These people are freakin’ brilliant!
The most amazing thing about this amazing podcast is that the episodes are unscripted. If the various actors were working from scripts, it would be impressive enough, but that they're producing brilliant comedy while ad-libbing is really mind-blowing. There are episodes that made me laugh until my stomach hurt, like "Melisa and Joseph, Kangaroos," some that are touching, like "Sal, Sock," and one that was traumatizing, "Annie, Jack-o-Lantern," which was like Never Let Me Go compressed into 20 minutes. You never know what you're going to get, but it's always' worth finding out.
Marcel the Shell meets Best in Show
Funny, poignant, thought provoking, beautifully produced, concise. Each episode a little gem. Pathos in spades. I am just so happy this show exists.
