Our 100th Show! This Sunday at 11 at iO West!

[Facebook Event Link]

100. 10x10. 1000/10. 50x2. 1x...100. Look, you probably finished some grade in school. You get it. Point is, we've done 100 shows. Or will have during this one. And you get to see it. You get to be there for us as we cross from one abritrarily-determined set of two-digit numbers to a new arbitrarily-determined set of THREE-digit numbers which we're all inadvertently extremely excited about! And we've made sure this one's going to be REALLY special. We're bringing up Zach Huddleston as our interviewee for The Dream! He's going to purposefully have an amazingly interesting day that day (we're assuming) just so he can sit down in that chair and give us everything we need to improvise an incredible dream about it. And to add to that, The Dream itself is going to be performed not only by our partners, Red Door Comedy, but by our all-star special guests, including the likes of Shulie Cowen (Opening Night: The Improvised Musical), Chris Alvarado (Heyday), Darius De La Cruz (Wheelhouse), Bill Chott (Zer0 H0ur with Bill Chott and Jay Sukow), and more! After that, Red Door returns to the stage for their signature two-man improv, setting it ablaze before we douse the stage in water and fire retardent, bring in professional drying equipment and cleaners to make sure the stage is safe for occupation, and then take the stage ourselves and deliver that promised 100th performance of Deconstruction power! How are we going to pull all of that off in only one hour?! Poetic license, that's how! So please, join us for this special occasion. We love you all, and naturally, we do this for you. Come see what we've got as we launch into our next 100 and contemplate mortality. That's an unrelated thought, but it's going to happen, so we might as well put it out there.

The Catch and Kill, Cut and Run, Second Life

Oi you. Yes you. It's time to find your newest podcast to listen to, via our Castologists. This week Nick gets on the true crime bandwagon with Ronan Farrow's The Catch and Kill; Liz goes with not-so-true crime with the Audible Original podcast (that's technically an audiobook) Cut and Run; and Zane gets his feminst on with a podcast on female entrepreneurship, Second Life. Then, stay tuned for all the reviews you can handle from last week's recommendations.

Liz Recommends - Cut and Run 

https://www.audible.com/pd/Cut-and-Run-Audiobook/B082YHVMCG

Welcome to a tale of love, adventure, and organ theft.

In this charming, scripted audio crime comedy, Samantha Dugan (D’Arcy Carden) and Abe Lally (Sam Richardson) are best friends and partners in crime. They steal kidneys. Like all jobs, it’s complicated. Despite being Robin Hoods of organ thievery, Abe and Samantha are just the sweetest people.

Samantha, a professional con artist, uses her charms to steal kidneys from bad people and get them to good ones. Abe, Sam’s surgeon-in-crime on their illicit kidney theft operation, is using unfettered access to the human body to advance his research to cure diabetes. This gig is hell on their social lives.

This hilarious and twisted Audible Original tale features just about everything you could hope for: crime, punishment, law, order, love, romance, air travel, Ed Begley Jr., and a quinceañera.

Cut and Run, a star-studded scripted audio performance, boasts the talents of Meg Ryan (You’ve Got Mail) as The Narrator; Sam Richardson (VEEP) as Abe Lally; and D’Arcy Carden (The Good Place) as Samantha Dugan—plus the aforementioned Ed Begley, Jr. (Arrested Development) as Gordon Grimbsy, the amiable crime boss; Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) as Katie Reynolds, Abe’s girlfriend and best selling children’s book author; and Thomas Lennon (Reno 911) as Jeff Calvert, an FBI agent and unwitting organ donor. This Audible Original also features Eugene Cordero, Baron Vaughn, Carlos Alazraqui, Arturo del Puerto, Dustin Ybarra, Aaron Abrams, Ginger Gonzaga, Greg Santos, Oscar Montoya, Roberta Valderrama, and Shulie Cowen.

Cut and Run was written and co-produced by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker, the inventors of the first narrative fiction podcast, The Thrilling Adventure Hour.

For both: It's a serial, start from the start.

Nick Recommends - The Catch and Kill

For the past two years, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Ronan Farrow has been following a trail of clues from his investigation of Harvey Weinstein to other blockbuster stories about the systems that protect powerful men accused of terrible crimes in Hollywood, Washington, and beyond. But he didn’t bring that information to light on his own. A compelling cast of sources—from brave whistleblowers to shadowy undercover operatives—decided the fate of these investigations, sometimes risking everything in the process. The Catch and Kill Podcast brings you their stories, in their own words, for the first time.

For both: It's a serial, start from the start.

Zane Recommends - Second Life

www.secondlifepod.com

Zane has brought some a little different for him in this episode with a podcast about female entrepreneurship. Second life focuses on women who have made a pivot in their life and career and are finding fulfillment in something different to where they started out. You'll hear from pioneers, artists, mothers, founders, writers, visionaries, designers, CEOs, and more about how they found their version of success and fulfillment. We’re peeling back the layers to their successes and sharing their winding roads of missteps, lessons, trying moments, and even outright failures that we can all learn from. Hopefully, hearing these women's stories makes your Monday commute a little more enjoyable and inspires you in your first, second, or third life—and beyond.

For Both: Miranda Kerr
