In this episode, I have a conversation with my friend Lauren, a private school teacher. Turns out, the situation for them is just as precarious as everyone else in the time of pandemic. Great. It's a good conversation and makes me feel less alone. Comedy this week is pulled off an instagram show my friends here in MSP organized called the CoDependent Comedy Show (get it? it's the CDC) . This performance is from Courtney McClean of the Dirty Curls fame. Musical guest is a song from Victory Over The Sun. You can find her on twitter too @Bastard__Wing.

This is pretty much my favorite episode yet. I'm really proud of the complete package here. I'm talking with my friend @SabineIsgood from MN. We talk about their work as a digital sex worker, but also the places we find ourselves and each other on our winding life paths. It's a pretty sweet conversation because we both have survival—like the survival of the species—on our minds. They have content at pornhub and elsewhere and you should check it out. There's comedy from Robert Baril @RobertBaril2 who has albums out on StandUp! Records. And music by Themme Fatale. You should visit their bandcamp. This show is my labor of love right now, please share it. interstitial music by burnunit.
This episode is a projection from The Future, coming at you in the LIVING PRESENT. The guests? Echo and Henry, a pair of modern American teenagers. We talk the PLAGUE (including Plague, Inc.) and pal around for a bit. From the streaming univers comes comedy and celebration with FANCY RAY (@TheFancyRay) whose new album is available on Stand Up! Records for download or an incredible milk chocolate vinyl edition. Fancy Ray is a Minnesota icon and in addition to his comedy has some of the more memorable commercials out there. Musical guest is Bog Princess who you can hear, read, and marvel in eir art at Villainette.com. Scout is a two time Eisner nominee for Failing Sky which should grab the attention of my comics-fan listeners! But in this case eir music is something that's really helped me through some rough emotional spots the last year so I was delighted to run across a live-on-instagram stream of one of my favorite tracks. Reading from War & Peace in the global village. interstitial music by burn unit.
I'm interested in what's happening with our global arts and comedy pivot. Take a look with me will you?
This episode welcomes Xochi de la Luna, comedian, producer, creator and one of the City Pages 2019 Artists of the Year. They produce Uproar, Mother Goose, and work with Pangea World Theater.

The episode features live performance stream from Lainie Lenertz in Chicago. She's so funny go find her on instagram @Lainie_Lenertz. Musical guest is Mel Stone. Mel's work has blown me away.

My guest on the pod today is Marian Gonzalez, aka @thegonzalez on twitter, aka Princess Zarkoja of Mars, aka actress, podcaster, puppeteer, artist and genuine original. I've known Marian since about 2006 and we've never met in person how do you like that? We talk about LA, wrestling, theater, have some laughs, get serious, and get weird. The story she shares at the end made my night. In the ongoing series of curated chance internet performance I bring you @bitchycrocker doing poetry, musical guest is Sonja Leaf Interstitials by @burnunit.

This is the first episode! The Unplagued podcast: a variety show about surviving the end of the world from the utter privacy of my own home. I chatter about shit, then I have a conversation with Stephanie Drury who lives in Seattle. Stephanie is a great person, a fierce critic of the patriarchy, and an excellent twitter follow. We talk a little about living in Seattle right now, along with our own religious upbringings, and have some laughs. The episode closes out with live music from Dollii.
