Cast Party is a freewheeling pop culture conversation show between Brennan Klein, a professional writer, and Dave Blum, his high school drama teacher! Join them for this brief intro to the show, which appropriately has technologically malfunctioned. While the audio quality will immediately improve once Brennan learns how to turn the microphones ON, it’s probably a good example of the comic anarchy that exists in their conversation. Enjoy, and we’ll see you on Monday, July 3rd for our very first episode!
