Exit 26 Show Notes

 

Thanks to poster-maestro Dan Angeloro for the hot design!

The Road 2 Shambala: Exit 26-Palentine’s Day was broadcast live on February 13, 2011.  We’re mum on whether or not releasing episodes more diligently was one of our New Year’s Resolutions, but suffice it to say we’re damned glad we finally got one done.

Huge thanks to our musical guest Matt Singer, and we hope to see you sippin’ yo’ drank this Thursday night at his Living Room show.  We’ve had that tune “Chicago” that he plays on the show today stuck in our heads ever since we heard it, and it was a distinct pleasure to have him back on the program this afternoon.  Thanks as always to Mistress of Fine Arts Alison Klein, Ben Masten, DJ Flav, and Gerrit Hall for kickin’ it with their customary aplomb, and do come check us in HORK! this Saturday at the PIT.  The full audio of the “studio” version will be available here one week from today, our sleep cycle for the week be gol-durnt.

If all goes according to plan, we’ll be live again next Sunday afternoon, which means pre-production for Exit 27 begins right…NOW!

 

Matt Singer's melodies will pluck yo' strangs.

Check Yo’ Inseams

Dudes!  We were thrilled and humbled to find ourselves listed on R2S favorite Joe Berkowitz’s Seriously Comprehensive Guide to Comedy Podcasts over at SplitSider, appearing in a group with many of our role models and idols.  Joe was a distinctly groovy guest on the program this past Halloween, and if you haven’t done so already, please do yourself a favor and check out his writings on his Tumblr.  Careful when doing so, however, as his controversial opinions have been known to spark street-fights.

As you are most likely aware, you savvy listener you, podcasting has really exploded over the course of the last year or so, particularly in the realm of comedy.  We at Bright Machine Productions would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for making The Road 2 Shambala part of your listening rotation, and hope you’ll stay tuned in 2011, for we have many exciting plans, best beloveds.  We invite your feedback anytime via email at shambalaradio[at]gmail[dot]com, or via voicemail at 909-SHA-ZAPS.

Look for Exit 26 in this space later this week, and until then, keep on pickin’, winnin’, lovin’, and sinnin’…

Exit 25 Show Notes

The cast and crew of Radiotheatre's "The Time Machine"

The Road 2 Shambala: Exit 25-Eccentric Druid Billionaires was produced and recorded December 14-20th, 2010.  It caused a quartet of extremely agreeable and good natured theatre folk to stay much later at the Red Room than they probably would have preferred, and caused certain podcast hosts to nearly miss their Bolt Bus home to Virginia for Christmas.

Speaking of the aforementioned theatre folk, our sincere gratitude and admiration are due to Dan Bianchi, Frank Zilinyi, Kate Siepert, Wes Shippee, and Emily Owens for setting up and providing a fascinating conversation about Radiotheatre’s current live-action radio-play version of The Time Machine.  Gerrit and I saw the show and then got to interview the creators on the very stage upon which they’d just performed, which made my inner theatre-nerd jump for joy.  I personally found Mr. Bianchi’s reflections on the value of the radiotheatrical storytelling medium very moving and thought-provoking, and hope that you will enjoy the interview.  If you do, you should proceed directly to the Red Room, where the production runs through 12/29.

Thanks also to Alan Smith and Alison Klein for their expert opinions in this week’s installment of Quality Control, to Gerrit for co-hosting the Radiotheatre interview, and also to DJ Flav, who pinch-hits for G.T. Boswell this week with a moving ode to the Christmas spirit.  Our gratitude also goes out as always to Virginia Coalition for letting us use their lovely music on the program, and finally to you marvelous people for tuning in.  Thank you so much for lending us your ears once again this week; we hope you enjoy the show and look forward to seeing you at Exit 26, which goes into production…RIGHT NOW.

Exit 24 Show Notes

 

The Road 2 Shambala: Exit 24-Dark Horses was broadcast live on December 12, 2010, and the uploaded version contains two very slight edits that only those who were in the room for the recording will be able to spot.  INTRIGUE!

Thank you so much to our extremely awesome special guest, Jesse Andrews of The Young Dads, and once you experience the goodtimes, you’re gonna wants to be in attendance this Saturday night at 9pm at Bar 4.  Our thanks as always to Alan Smith, Gerrit Hall, DJ Flav, and Boswell, as well as Virginia Coalition for our intro and outro music.  We of course invite you to share your thoughts on the show or anything else at all via e-mail at shambalaradio[at]gmail[dot]com, or voicemail at 909-SHA-ZAPS.  Also, if you are wondering if your plans for Saturday could possibly get any more awesome, you’re in luck, because our sketch comedy group Audience of Two is presenting an all-new show at 7pm at The PIT, and we would love to see you there!

We’ll see you next week at Exit 25, the production of which begins…RIGHT NOW!
