    Season Two, Episode Five - Sam Bayne

    It's Sam Bayne! Not only is he a hilarious stand-up comedian and improviser, he also has a fantastic podcast called "Confused as Usual" (listen at your own risk, if you do so at work you may disturb coworkers with your laughter!) Ok ok, cheesy intro aside, Sam is an extremely smart person who knows a ton about the history and technicalities of comedy, and I learned so much from speaking with him. Check him out at Rapid Fire Theatre, Grindstone Theatre, The Comedy Strip, and more!

    Season Two, Episode Four - calgarytheatrereview.com

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to read a review of a show that is unbiased (as it can be!), honest, informed and from someone who is not being paid, but paying to see the show? Well look no further than calgarytheatrereview.com, an anonymous person whose reviews extends beyond the set decorating and acting and delves into the societal norms and psychological effects of shows. Their reviews are very smart and so informative. I got to talk to them about their history in theatre, what we could use more of in Alberta theatre, and how arts criticism has changed over time. Their name will not be revealed but a whole lot about theatre will be!

    Season Two, Episode Three -Baram and Snieckus!

    Wowzers this is a big one; talking to Naomi Snieckus and Matt Baram about Big Stuff, their new show coming to the Citadel from October 18 to November 9. These comedic legends are Second City Alumni and have been all over the world performing and creating on-screen and on-stage magic. It is such an inspiration to talk to them about their creative process, the hard work that led them to where they are today, and about the incredible people (their parents) who inspired their show.

    Season Two, Episode One - yegtheaterfan

    It's so exciting to be back chatting with amazing people involved in the arts! To start off Season Two, I spoke with Sarah, the brains behind the popular yegtheaterfan account. Coming off seeing sixty shows at this year's Fringe, Sarah spoke about where her passion for theatre started and how she is able to juggle so many shows at once. Sarah also talks about what she is excited for this upcoming Edmonton theatre season, and what she notices may be lacking in our scene. A true patron of the arts, Sarah has been such a support to so many companies in this city. What a truly giving and genuine person!
