Welcome to Absolutely Starving, a podcast for the starving artist in all of us. Annie and Karlie are two gals from Connecticut, just trying to maintain their artistic senses amidst the strangeness of almost-adult life. Bring us your bygone theater kids, your art class prodigies, your late-night tap dancers and tempestuous! - slam! - poets! We’re here to get real about doing what you love and loving what you do in a world that so often lacks the familiar high of checking a cast list taped to the auditorium door. Join us and keep those creative juices FLOWING, friends. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Annie Stachura and Karlie Lynn Zabin
