Exit 32: Clean Random Fun

A mysterious note of a salacious nature appears without explanation in Sam’s wallet.  Plus, the infamous tale of Sam’s equally inexplicable appearance in the film “Shortbus,” as well as a live performance of the Audience of Two song “Klippan,” which is about couches and ghosts.

Exit 31: The Unbearable Amstel Lightness of Being

The epic struggle between giants and cowboys.  An excerpt from Sam Dingman’s Reasonable Doubt, as performed at the People’s Improv Theater earlier this year.  And some dope rhymes from house poet Perry Meters.  Click here to download, or stream it below.

Exit 30: Spike Your Mind?

In addition to completely accurate opinions about auto-correct, video stores, and camping, you will hear the following inspired quotes:

“In light of these events, I’ve become an Anti-Semite.”

“You are a Microsoft Word success story.”

“Blah!  Shazam!”

“It was Frank T.J. Mackey’s sled.”

“I give house-painting two stars.”

And much, much more!

Exit 29 Show Notes

Marshall York adrift in the mysteries of his mind.

The Road 2 Shambala: Exit 29-Goodnight Ypsilanti was mostly recorded in January 2011, left to marinate for the remainder of the winter, and then finally edited and unleashed on September 12, 2011.

Thanks so much to Marshall York for stopping by Hootenanny Studios lo those many moths ago to share his music and philosophies on making said music, and if you’re like us and can’t get enough of the man, listen to his two 31 Songs/31 Days records here, and come see Borealis at the PIT on Wednesdays at 9 PM (for free!).  Thanks also to Alan Smith for his ceaseless co-hosting awesomeness, and also to Lorraine Cink, Michelle Ciotta, and Sean Reidy for their vocal talents.  Our outro music is by Virginia Coalition, and they are just plain the best forever.  Thanks most of all to you, lovely listener, and we’ll see you at Exit 30, the production of which begins right…NOW!

Exit 28-White Lightning

Brooklyn rockers The Bottom Dollars visit Hootenanny Studios and grace us with their jams, as well as the ragtag circumstances that brought them together.  The Quality Control board adopts nicknames and offends all known American corporations, and yet somehow Bright Machine Productions successfully secures a full slate of new sponsors for the show.  All this and more when you click here, or stream below…

Exit 28 Show Notes

The Road 2 Shambala: Exit 28-White Lightning was recorded eons ago–who even knows anymore.  Anyway, now it is here, fresh with the jamness.

Thanks so much to The Bottom Dollars for appearing on the show and sharing their story as well as their sounds.  If you’d like to download their new EP The Halcyon Days, you can do so for free right here.  We are also grateful to Sharkey, Flat Top, and Wolfhunter, as well as DJ Flav, for their customary brilliance.  Thanks also to our extraordinarily generous new sponsors, and most of all to you for tuning in!  We’ll see you at Exit 29, the production of which begins…RIGHT NOW!

Exit 27-The Texas Handbook

We’re joined by Jon Bolden, aka The Pride of Austin, for some in-depth wonkery around improv comedy, of which Jon is a master practitioner and jewel of the scene down there in the capital of Texas.  The origins of HORK! are also discussed in great detail, plus wonderings as to the whereabouts of our wayward Groove, which we would very much like to get Back.  Click here to examine the contents of this week’s episode, or simply stream it below…

Exit 27 Show Notes

The Road 2 Shambala: Exit 27-The Texas Handbook was recorded and produced from January 2-March 2nd under a wide variety of different mental and weather conditions.

It features special guest Jon Bolden all the way from Austin, Texas, to whom we are extremely grateful for trekking out to the wilds of Brooklyn from the swankypants hotel he was staying in for New Years’.  FACT: at the end of the conversation when Ben and I remark that it is time to go eat some burritos, we instead ended up sitting in Hootenanny Studios for a while longer talking about Things with Jon, who is one of the nicest fellows you are ever likely to encounter.  Thanks also to Ben and DJ Flav of course, and, in the unlikely event she is reading this, Julia Zagaria.

Thanks for tuning in to this week’s show, and we’ll see you at Exit 28.  Production begins right…NOW!

Exit 26-Palentine’s Day

Happy Smooch Day lovecups!  Sweeten up your sweet-pots with our suga-snappin’ broadcast, featuring live music from Matt Singer, a sneak preview of Audience of Two’s brand new radio play HORK!, the unexpected reduction of our degrees of separation from Lauren Ambrose, and the Quality Control Board’s reviews of industry publications, Valentine’s Day, and minivans.  Championship chuckles await when you click here!  Or stream it right here, right now…
