Sketch Pod

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping you'd come over here to listen to this latest episode.  I mean, Katie Aldhizer once dated a stripper.  Did you know that?  And did you know there was that time Calvin Cato got some work booty in an alley down by the Seaport?  (I was shocked, too!)  Oh!  I'm gonna refill my drink, so you listen to this caveman sketch that Pushy Muldowney wrote whilst I'm gone, okay?  And just like that I'm back!  Before you run off, though, real quick...did you know that Dana Rossi had quite the experience as a costumed colonial in Philly?  She totally did!

It swells our heart to have you here, sharing this forty-third podcastical bread basket with us.  (Maybe it's all the butter causing the swelling.)  Shonali Bhowmik is first with the tale of a stank woman's intimidation tactics.  Then we have the first installment of Real-Life Day-Job Tales.  A reminiscence of Ruth Shaw follows, courtesy of Robert Gross.  After a word from our sponsor, Jeff Hiller tells us to look it up (or not).  And lastly, or firstly depending on how you look at it, Rebecca Vigil tells us what she did on that futon in Koreatown.

They've just started to board my flight, but I have time to tell you about this 42nd spool of yuks and yarns we have here.  Ginger Kearns is first with her Dad's extreme reaction to food that's touching.  Then Mark Sam Rosenthal stops by with two tales in which he realized he should have known better.  Dana Rossi is interrupted by a call from her Mom, before Katie Compa tells how closely her grandmother adhered to rules.  And lastly, Isaac Oliver remembers the time he was in Ohio and just needed a vegetable.

Once our vocal warm-ups are out of the way, we can really get started.  And start we do with Garry Hannon telling of a pickle he got into when he once brought a guy home.  Then we plop down in a talent agent's office as Sara and Corri have their first exciting meeting.  Dana Rossi is up next, along with her fig anxiety.  Following closely behind is lesson one from the "Patience for Artists" series.  And we wrap up with Rebecca Vigil and how her ode to Freedom Fries landed her at court.  Huzzah!

We'd make a joke about now being over the hill (40 episodes and all), but we'd prefer you to keep thinking of us as a spry, young thing.  And to that end, we start this episode with Sharron Paul discussing her feelings about Medieval Times.  Then it's a new episode of The Convo, where we tackle "Can you believe this?"  Robert Gross pops in next with the best gift he's ever received from a student.  And we finish up with an in-depth analysis of Jeff Hiller's early stage experiences - including line counts!  

Allow us to start this thirty-ninth time gathered at the podcastical water trough with a thrilling demonstration in sound! Then, we can get down to business with Mark Sam Rosenthal's opinion on buyer's remorse. Immediately following, we have an audio trailer for the new drama "Downward Facing Scared". Katie Aldhizer then pops by with the recipe for a new dip she thought up. And, after a musical interlude, Shonali Bhowmik tells us of the performance when she knew she'd finally made it.  You'll agree.

Give us a kiss...it's the season, no? That's just our way of welcoming you to Sketch Pod, where in fact, our first topic is 'Valentine's Day - Yay or Nay?' This edition we also offer Pushy Muldowney and the tale of some special Valentines received. Rebecca Vigil is on board as well to tell of an awkward first date. If that weren't enough, Isaac Oliver will also thrill with the story of a pair of intriguing co-workers. And sprinkled over top are several promos for Alec Baldwin's killer new podcast "Here's the Ouija Thing." Smooches!

Sitting comfortably? Great. Allow us to reveal this crisp, new episode of Sketch Pod for you. (It's a '37.) We start off this pack of episodes with a smokin' discussion of smoking with Dana Rossi.  Then Robert Gross tells of a painful first date that haunts him to this day. By this point, it's time for an office tour at your new job. And lastly, Jeff Hiller explains why he will never return to a Renaissance Faire. Kind sir!

New year...new you...new opening.  And yet it's eerily familiar, isn't it?  (Welcome to Sketch Pod, btw.)  Jason Jude Hill starts things off with a hands-free call.  Then we hand out another Digie Award, the first of two this time.  Calvin Cato then cuts in with a line about his best worst New Year's Eve.  After the promised second Digie Award handed out, Katie Aldhizer wraps things up with the tale of Vacation Mom.  You guuuyyyyysss...!

Happy Merry Holitide!  This very special episode you're holding opens with Grady Dennis telling of the worst gift he ever received.  Then Sharon Spell does much the same thing - a well-intentioned gift that STILL makes her say bad things.  From here, it's a short jaunt to Oz, just in time for Dorothy's short jaunt back home again.  We next switch holidays and hear how Garry Hannon spent two separate New Year's Eves in spectacular fashion.  Then Grady Dennis does much the same thing.  With the GOOD champagne.

If I can get a word in here, I'd like to welcome you to the latest of these digital chit-chats.  We open, after a manner becoming our age, with Pushy Muldowney telling of her annual run-in with a pervy Santa.  Then a dramatic re-creation follows of an unfortunate attempt at a hand-off.  Grady Dennis then just has to have some cowboy boots.  And, lastly but greatly, Ginger Kearns has another holiday story about her father...and his flip phone.  Ring-ring!!

With a suggestive and trippy-dippy open, we welcome you to our thirty-third trip around the podcastical sun.  Guest star Michael Cherry leads things off with a phone-based pet peeve.  Guest star Ginger Kearns explains how her father creates VERY detailed itineraries for her trips home.  And guest star Katie Aldhizer tells us of her time in prison, and when she had to hit the sauna.  Besides all this, we award three of our Digie Awards, honoring excellence in the employment of the tools of this, our digital age.  Boop!

Duck!  It's Sketch Pod again!  We shoot 'em up to start things off, and then (almost immediately) guest star Katie Compa tells us about her first stage experience.  From there, we meet Nicky, your party bottom for the evening.  Guest star Pushy Muldowney then relates the twisted tale of a certain Betsy Johnson dress.  And lastly, Grady is living with lyme.

Great Googa-Mooga!  It's already time for our next chance to chat in your ear for a bit.  This time guest star Sharon Spell starts us out with her thoughts on Winter and odors.  Then Sally Kellerman joins us via The Answering Machine Files.  Guest star Calvin Cato is next with a tale of a festive, albeit inappropriate, outfit.  From there, it's a short drive to see some friends who REALLY like pumpkin.  And Grady wraps it up with a portrait of him on Spring Break (kind of).

Boop-a-doop, fine friend, and welcome.  We have a gay old, spooky opening to amuse your bouche this time.  Then guest star Katie Compa weaves a tale of buyer's remorse.  The Convo is next with this week's question "Who are the people in your neighborhood?"  Then guest star Pushy Muldowney hams it up over a worst meal story.  And, finally, but not leastly, guest star Garry Hannon finds the perfect story to go with this episode we've patterned out.  Oh, and stay around for the end!

May we say how thin you're looking?  This is the 29th get-together that we've unleashed upon the world, and we start with guest star Katie Compa telling us something new we can do with our garlic.  Then guest star Drew Droege relives his early experiences in the theatRE.  Then you lucky people get to meet Craig and Greg, a fabulously happy gay couple.  Then guest star Pushy Muldowney tells the tale of an awkward date.  And lastly, guest star Michael Cherry lets us know what you should NEVER try to check at a coat check.

With a canonical opening, we welcome you back to Fall and back to these whimsical quarter-hours that we share every copuple of weeks.  This time, guest star Michael Cherry tells the tale of a smoker who enacted a crippling revenge.  Then we've got another "Gotta Ask Grenadine".  Jason follows up by describing a gift he begged for, but wishes he didn't.  Then we find out what happens when Netfilx recommendations run amok.  And lastly, guest star Sheila Mitchell reminisces about a dress rehearsal when she felt exposed.

This episode's opening is delayed because of a strike.  (You'll get it when you hear it.)  Our 27th time around the ol' campfire starts off with guest star Pushy Muldowney telling of an interesting trip across the border.  Then Miss Grenadine Ross is back with another edition of "Gotta Ask Grenadine".  Following this, we discover what is NOT a Compament with guest star Katie Compa.  We then pause for a quick word from our sponsor, Petrodigicom.  And we wrap with guest star Daren Fleming telling of that time when Tina ripped off that woman's...ummm...you know.

With a whiff of Hai Karate, we welcome you to this 26th edition of sitting around the podcast table and making each other (and, hopefully, you) laugh.  Guest star Katie Compa leads things off with a tale of a stank mother on the subway.  Then we transfer to the bus as D.G. Williams tries to get to Hot Rod Avenue ASAP!  And lastly, other Katie guest star Katie Aldhizer remembers the time she had an inappropriate outfit at the amusement park.  Honey, are you drunk?

We're a quarter of our way to syndication, y'all!  (They syndicate podcasts, right?)  Anyhoo, after a too loud opening, this episode that you're holding in that hot, little listening device of yours gets underway with an EPIC story from guest star Daren J. Fleming about a particular date that he had back home in Indiana.  Then, in "Joshua Gives", we meet a man who embodies the essence of modern philanthropy.  We finish up with a quickie about an accident Daniel had with a ramekin.  And then it's the closing credits and theme, for those of you who care to stick around...
