One Semester: Recent Episodes
Andrew Mister
Finite and Funny! This show chronicles Andrew and Jacob's last semester together at Villanova. Tune in for the jokes they share and the opinions they don't!
This is it. The end. The finale. The last one.
34 episodes ago, Andrew, Jacob, and all of you listeners set out on a journey to tell jokes, talk about dumb things, and find meaning in the inevitable end. This episode encapsulates all that we intended to do, all that we are still learning, and all that we have yet to understand. One Semester, and the people behind it, hope that you have found a way to accept the new normals, find solace in the hardships, and appreciate the butterfly effect that this life has presented you with.
Never forget that time is limited and that it exists to be cherished.
Love,
One Semester
We recorded a lot of cold opens during One Semester; not all of them got used... but that doesn't mean we still can't share them with you.
In the penultimate episode of this finite podcast, the co-hosts were split up and interviewed individually by renowned journalist and friend of the podcast, Owen Hewitt. Join Owen to find out the truth: Did Andrew ever feel burnout? Is it true that Jacob came up with the idea for One Semester? Was it all worth it? Tune in and listen now!
(pe·nul·ti·mate [pəˈnəltəmət] - adjective -last but one in a series of things; second last. ie. "the penultimate episode of a very funny, but limited, podcast series")
Happy Holidays, listeners! Join us in this episode as Andrew and Jacob discuss their favorite holiday traditions and movies, all while consuming their favorite holiday beverages…a LOT of their favorite holiday beverages.
Holy cr*p yo, we wrote a song. Listen to us struggle to write it for thirty minutes, and then it be magically finished. And then save the song on all streaming platforms (so that Andrew gets listening revenue).
(It may take a day or two for the music to actually be available, we'll delete this sentence once we know it's up!)
While Jacob and Mister are busy, One Semester’s backup team sits down and talks about their favorite episodes of the show, if museums really do come to life, and a surprising amount of Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties.
During discussions of dungeons and dragons, the dynamic duo decides to dramatically recall the daring story of Jacob’s deranged lies and dastardly deeds. Afterward, the two tell tales of the technicalities of terrible televised humor and how SNL could try their best to tweak their political thigh-slappers.
Your hosts, along with a special guest, perform dazzling and daring feats of movie reviewing and sequel critiquing in this wondrous and mysterious episode of One Semester. Join us as we dive deep into the intricacies of the Now You See Me franchise, discovering that the closer you look…the more pros AND cons you start to notice about these films. Above all else, these three fanatics of the franchise hold strong to the belief that what may follow in this magical trilogy is really going to amaze...
Andrew's girlfriend * joins the show to talk about Ridiculum, their family (that includes Jacob and Owen?), and how her dog is "big boned."
Welcome, one and all, to the very first AND last episode of the One Semester Game Show! Join us as two hilarious and brilliant-minded contestants (and Andrew) battle it out for the glory and honor of game show victory. (p.s. We hope you’re listening, Mr. Sudeikis…)
After some light shampoo talk, your two favorite funny men talk about words that they didn’t know existed and discuss the delicious delicacies known daily by many different people around da world: deserts.
After choosing to let a robot give us conversation topics, we do a little bit of improv. Did you know we do improv? Did you???

We talk about YouTube (obviously) and the intricacies of the industry as it’s evolved. Later on we discuss the inspiration behind One Semester and how the inevitability of the end is closer than you think.
Get in, we’re going for a drive. The boys hit the road to discuss reality TV and the butterfly effect, and later devour some burgers and chocolate shakes…well, they’re not exactly shakes…more like ice cream…I don’t know, it’s a weird gray area.
Joining us is Noel B Doherty, Tik Toker, and friend of the show. We pick his brain for a little bit, and then we share what the three of us definitely did last weekend.
Jacob and Andrew are three years apart…that’s weird right? We talk about our age gap and have an existential crisis in the process.
We recount tales of our younger Halloweens. Then we tell you what we did this Halloween that definitely happened and is us telling you what happened in the past and not us speaking about the future like it's the present and Jacob peed himself a little.
We recount our Fall Break activities, including building houses, playing Minecraft, writing stand-up, and applying for jobs… and we’re really tired.
We try to construct our ideal and nightmare burgers, but we get derailed by a conversation about cursing.
Once again, Andrew flexes something he’s worked on. I bet he thinks he’s so cool because he does all these “cool” things, and that everyone cares, what an absolute NERD!
This is One Semester, with Andrew Mister, and Jacob Marscola, and the mic is on the desk, and this is One Semester, with Andrew Mister, and Jacob Marscola…
We talk about our experiences in Villanova Television and some of the content we made. And no one dies in this episode… no one…
It’s the ultimate cage match of the century as Jacob and Andrew discuss the stereotypes and culture of their academic environments. Who has it the worst? Probably you for listening to all 50 minutes…
Reid Thomas, host of the ReidMyMindRadio Podcast and advocate for the blind community, joins the show to teach us about audio description. Oh, and his daughter is on too and she’s One Semester’s number one fan which is cool I guess.
As we talk about our experiences writing and performing stand-up, we decide to have the other person tell our jokes… and it’s not terrible.
A conversation about video games somehow transitions to Andrew breaking down his high school EP: Hurdles, featuring his analysis and never before heard audio of demos. You can listen to the full EP: Hurdles by Andrew Mister on Spotify and Apple Music.
Owen Hewitt joins the show to talk about our experiences using Tinder. Emphasis on Jacob having definitely been on Tinder.
We try to have a conversation about Letterbox, but we keep getting distracted by movies we want to talk about (again).
An episode about texting, dating, and comedy keeps being interrupted by a very special guest… and then we somehow talk about movies.
Are we getting sponsored by condoms? Should Jacob have bought a Cajon? And does Andrew know the name of all the Beatles? NAH!
We begin with a shocking admission, followed by a conversation about failure…and improv…and sports?
