Episode 12: Something's About To Happen

Episode 13: Oops, All Trains!

After a brief hiatus due to performance chaos, we've returned with what might be our most unhinged episode to date -- possibly because we recorded it at 2 AM. Please enjoy Alissa and Gwen's wide-ranging discussion on composers in hell, kink philosophy, reinventing trains, and ragebaiting Gwen. Also, Gwen does a bunch of voices, several of which may get her canceled. Is this a coherent episode? No. But is it an entertaining episode? God, we sure hope so.

Episode 12: Something's About To Happen

On this week's episode, Alissa and Gwen chat about upcoming projects like RPG Limit Break and Don Giovanni (Abridged!), as well as shows starting on time, the importance of taking your meds, and the proper pricing structure for feet pics.

Episode 11: Spoilers & Suffering

This week, Gwen and Alissa have a lengthy discussion about two things that have taken up a lot of time in their lives recently! This episode comes with a massive SPOILER WARNING for plot details of hit video game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and the 2009 musical Next to Normal -- which, as it turns out, are about exactly the same thing. (Give or take a flaccid Eiffel Tower.) Content warning for extensive discussion of death, suicide, and other self-destructive behaviors.

Episode 10: Serving Canto

This week, we welcome our friend & colleague Chris to the podcast! Together, we discuss the current state of classical singing in America, what "bel canto" singing actually is, and how we've been radicalized by our experience with Next to Normal!

Episode 9: Critical Thinking

On this week's episode, we have a conversation about the distressing lack of theater reviewers in the Triangle region and the role of criticism in the arts in general. Are performers and critics natural enemies? Can arts journalism survive in an age of casual online cruelty? And, perhaps most importantly: how much horniness should be allowed in video games??
