Improvised Star Trek Bonus Scene: Mo' Tachyons, Mo' Problems Announcing several changes to Improvised Star Trek!
Firstly, new episodes will now be released biweekly instead of weekly. While we're sorry to make you wait longer between adventures of the USS Sisyphus, the new schedule will ensure that episodes arrive reliably on time, and that every episode meets our highest production standards. It'll also free us up to produce bonus materials we've wanted to provide. Expect to hear some extras coming your way soon, hopefully to tide you over between new episodes.
Secondly, we're thrilled to welcome a new member to the cast, Mary Cait Walthall. Mary Cait is an active member of the Chicago improv community, and we're all thrilled to have her on board the Sisyphus. Listen for her in upcoming episodes!
Lastly, thanks to all of you who listen. If you're a fan of the show, keep spreading the word to your friends. Thats all for now, but we've got some exciting stuff in works, so keep listening, and watch here for all your Improvised Star Trek news.

Note from IST: Earlier versions of this episode included some defamatory language. It came up in the live improvisation as an example of bullying, and at the time we produced the episode we hoped listeners of the original cut wouldn't mistake its usage as any endorsement. Nevertheless, we ultimately decided that its inclusion didn't say or add anything thoughtful enough to outweigh the possible pain it might cause listeners who've been attacked with such language. So we've cut it out. As Trek fans we strongly believe in a future (and present) where are all treated with dignity and respect, and as comedians we endeavor for our work to be as smart and humane as it is clever.

Would you rather end the episode with plugs, or more improv? Well you're in luck either way!

Aspiring actors can learn a lot from this veteran director and the emotional role-playing he does with Patton and Scott. And if none of that amuses you, as always Don will bring in the girls.

Improvised Star Trek Welcome to Improvised Star Trek Welcome to Improvised Star Trek! Our first "season" starting in April 2011 was a ton of fun, but there was a bit of learning curve taking our live stage show from iO Chicago and turning it into a podcast. Early episodes suffer from audio problems (though we're humbly submit that we took less time than TNG to find our footing), so for that reason we've pruned the first season a bit so that only episodes recognizable as what Improvised Star Trek became are available in the feed.
Still, we understand Star Trek fans are completists by nature, so if you see any episode numbers missing and need to know what we cut, you can still hear them by heading to our website:

Fortunately the somewhat likeable political analyst Anthony Rivera drops in who is “down for like whatewers.”

On this episode they discuss Al's success and music and are joined by celebrated author Richard Dalton and winner of the Indie 103.1 Unknown Comic Contest Jim Pipe.
Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast 6 Brett Gelman,Howard Kremer,Sarah Silverman You'd expect a show like Comedy Bang Bang to be able to get at least one popular movie star each episode, but TWO? That's unheard of! Until now that is, with Billy Crystal and James Gandolfini both showing up on this episode. While both of those dudes are pretty unfunny, Sarah Silverman and Howard Kremer keep the funny alive with great banter and some live songs from Dragon Boy Suede. The beloved Doug Loves Movies feature shows up on this episode as well, so there is really no reason not to catch it!
Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast 7 Sklar Brothers,Paul Rust,Paul F. Tompkins,Doug Benson An episode with two co-hosts? It cannot be! Well, it is…but, when they're The Sklar Brothers you can hardly call them two separate entities. With the comedic force of Scott, Jason and Randy, and Paul F. Tompkins, you'd think unfunny was impossible…that is unless you're newly traumatized observational comic Cal Shipsby. Fortunately things take a lighter turn when the writer of Look Who's Talking, Jerry Jimson, stops by and talks about his process. And I'd be remiss not to mention that this episode features Doug Loves Movies!

Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast 5 Jimmy Pardo,Paul Gilmartin,Garfunkel & Oates,Matt Belknap,Pat Francis,Doug Benson Jimmy Pardo is the host of his own show, Never Not Funny, so one would assume that he'd be a good host of Comedy Bang Bang. Well, one would be right! Except for the boring politicians he had on, the show is absolutely phenomenal. Representative Richard Martin and his wife Jazz slow the pace down a bit, but Paul Stanley from KISS brings his rocking attitude in to bring the energy back. All of this plus music from Garfunkel & Oates, a Half-Assed Sports Report, and Doug Loves Movies.
