Sketch Pod

Contained herein, one Jed Resnik opens with a joke from his nephew. Then "Lady of the House" offers stuffy advice and critical guidance. And lastly, Selena Coppock rubs elbows with Russell Crowe (and his "mangos") at an SNL after-party.

Greetings! Following a special announcement, Mike Albo kicks things off by describing some clothing he regrets buying. Then we peek in on a family that has plans for more efficient operations. Then Aaron Fuksa and Adam Enright remember that terrible, horrible gay play. Then Sharon Spell recounts her first appearances as a comic. Fake it till you make it!

You now hold in your hot, podcastical hands a very special episode of SketchPod. After we satisfy the commerce dragon with an ad from our sponsor, Pixassotab, we delve fully into an epic story from Rebecca Vigil. It's a rehearsal dinner, and a wedding, with the worst food ever. Here, have a plate of brown, won't you?

HARK as we open this episode in a punnish manner. Then WATCH as Isaac Oliver relives some celebrity sightings at the box office. LISTEN as the next episode of The Convo follows apace and we ask "Did you see what I did there?" And TAKE HEED as Selena Coppock schools you in the whys and wheres of her tanning rituals. Just in time for a cold Spring!

It's another episode and we open with another edition of our podcast quiz "From Where Am I Speaking to You?" Then Mandarine Moon-Fly and Odogu Benson re-live some kid fears. Isaac Oliver stops by next with a dramatic reading from his book, "Intimacy Idiot". And Rachel Scherer has an alarming story involving a cat and a phone call. Hoorah!

We are very happy to open this edition with a good deal of clean humor...even if Daniel is multi-tasking and a little distracted. First up in the story department are Sharon Spell and Jed Resnik, speaking of some interesting times with their respective therapists.  Then Mr. Felcham would like to address the unfortunate incidents of last Thursday.  And then Mike Albo screams in to tell of that run of three years when he had multiple injuries and incidents DOWN THERE.

Gosh! Here it is the end of the year and (just in time) we have our end-of-year episode! We open with a look in the Sketch Pod Email Pouch. Then Ashlee Voorsanger tells how she met Iris Apfel al fresco. Aaron Fuksa limps in with the tale of how he broke a foot during performance. We travel to the subway next and hear about how we all have dreams. Then we wrap up with Odogu Benson experiencing unpleasant flashbacks of his time working for EZPass Customer Service.

A Happy Merry to you all...but not to Santa, whom we deal with at the top of the episode. Mandarine Moon-Fly drops in next to school us in the tradition of Paranging. Jed Resnik then explains how his family uniquely celebrated the holidays. Following closely after is a news report on changing adoption trends. Then Rachel Scherer has the perfect post-dinner activity for all the men-folk.

Well, here's just the thing to get your holiday shenanigans started -- a brand new episode! After a prelude featuring Michael Cherry and Grady Dennis musing on that yucky thing that runners do, we welcome the one and only 2SCOOPS to the studio for a featured interview. Dana and Deena spill the tea on all the stars that steal from them, preview their latest self-help book, and plug their upcoming performance tour! Then they threaten us.  #2scoops4eva

Maybe it's the champagne, but we're a little clippy this time around. Note though, that there's an Improv Hell sketch throughout. Apart from this, we relive semi-compliments with Pushy Muldowney. And remember a celebrity run-in with Ashlee Voorsanger. And listen to Jed Resnik and Sharon Spell play "Not It". And literally hang on Katie Aldhizer's description of a stank co-worker. And AND agree with Rachel Scherer that Jason's Audrey Hepburn impression is "on purnt".

We're full of mystery pains with this gathering around the podcastical water fountain.  We'll let Sharon Spell and Jed Resnik explain.  Then we're interrupted by the arrival of The Underminer (aka Mike Albo) who's just about to return to...Berlin!  Steve Federbusch then brings us on a trip in the Story-DeLorean to see Tim Robbins.  And Ashlee Voorsanger lets us inside (finally) one of her childhood fears.

Don't be afraid! Come on in for this spine-tingly podcastical campfire scare-em-up. Odogu Benson is here with a hasty cowboy costume. We've got a new episode of The Convo wherein we ask "are you mad at me?" Rachel Scherer then tracks down that awful smell we've been smelling. And we wrap up the mummy (NO - the episode!) with Mike Albo, Daniel Sears, Pushy Muldowney, and Jason Jude Hill comparing misguided Halloween costume elements.....

On this very special episode of SketchPod, we start with an intervention - and with sound reasons.  Then Jodi Coyote waxes poetically about her first job.  Steve Federbusch is next with an oddly satisfying concert he once attended as a "teen drifter".  And Katie Aldhizer wraps things up by wishing she had paid attention to the signs in that one relationship.

We're bringing you a whole chuckle pyramid this time 'round, manifested immediately, in fact.  Michael Cherry also refuses to apologize for the music that takes him back.  Darell J. Hunt refuses to lower his dining-out standards.  Selena Coppock refuses to forget that Obama charm.  And Garry Hannon refuses to put up with your stank bar shenanigans.  

Suddenly, you're in the middle of a thrilling talent show, with acts like none you've ever seen.  Then, you're quickly empathizing with Desi del Valle's fear of the color red.  Did you take the ecstasy?  No?  Well, Sharon Spell did.  And then she found the linen closet.  Maybe it's the X that's making you feel like protesting, but have you filed your necessary paperwork?  But wait a minute!  Shhh!  I don't think this is shampoo.  H. Alan Scott knows it isn't.  This episode is a dreamscape, and you are the memories.

Soon as I can get dropped off, we'll get this episode started.  Now, first stop on our podcastical tour is Desi del Valle's apartment, where she fixes a memorable meal.  Then, it's a quick jog to the beach to hear Grady Dennis's tanning rituals.  While there, we drop into an instructional space for the next "Patience for Artists" lesson.  And lastly, we go back in the memory of Steve Federbusch to find out where his fear of rats comes from.  Eeeek!

A happy humidity to you!  We tear open this episode with Michael Cherry explaining the nuances of the Rhode Island accent.  Then Jodi Coyote spins a mystical tale of a magical bus ride.  The latest episode of "The Convo" is next, in which we ask "Why bother?"  Then Michael Cherry can't stay away and MUST talk of skate parties.  And lastly, the lovely Selena Coppock relives some memories of Michigan Ave retail.

Oh, hey.  I'll be with you as soon as I can start this episode.  There!  And now, let's check in with Desi del Valle on her tanning rituals.  Once done there, Pushy Muldowney tells of that old roller derby injury.  Then we discover a world where there is tagging in real life conversations.  This is followed by Isaac Oliver and that odd text he received.  And Greg Dubin is back to remember that two-part celebrity sighting.

Hey, Handsome.  Welcome to another SketchPod.  Hop in and let me show you around.  First, we've got Katie Compa telling of that time she took a trip on a trip.  Then Rachel Scherer is back with another absolutely true trolling of a telemarketer.  Greg Dubin is back next with a couple of situations that are truly stank.  And lastly, Rachel is back to remember all the times she's broken her nose.  Yes, there is more than one.

For this, our sixty-fifth time around the campfire, we've decided to get down and dirty.  To that end, there's an opening to warn you of such.  Then we peek in on a training session at the gynecologist.  And the balance of the episode is spent with Mehran Khaghani as he relives his buyer's remorse over that time he got a hooker who didn't deliver on the bill of goods as advertised.

Well now, don't we have a fresh episode for you this time 'round?  There's Garry Hannon, telling of his VERY GAY celebrity sightings.  Then there's a sketch in which a modern American family finds out what they have in common with THOSE people.  Following closely behind is Lauren Maul with her earworm fetish.  And lastly, there's Greg Dubin remembering some childhood fears that involve Fruit Juicy.

I feel closer to you, now that we've shared sixty-three of these podcastical chit-chats together.  So this time, we start with Rachel Scherer discovering just how put-together we are.  Then you can hear what goes into creating one of our episodes.  Greg Dubin is next with memories of his first concert experiences.  We then drop in on a Real Life Day Job sketch that likes what you're cooking.  And we lastly compare tanning notes with Garry Hannon.

Come closer, for we have something important to say as we again re-join this series of podcastical bon-mots.  Pushy Muldowney is up first to discuss her fear of potential sharks.  Next, we have a word from this episode's sponsor, Privica.  Then Katie Compa pipes up to tell of that time she had a head injury at a concert.  And then Rachel Scherer wraps things up with the all-important warm-up exercises!  PA!  PA!

We're trying to class up our show this time around, and that's immediately apparent from the opening.  After that, we continue with Garry Hannon telling of the time he slept with a knife under his pillow.  Then Jamie Cruz-Velazquez, Pushy Muldowney, and Daniel Sears compare bad cooking scenarios.  Drew Droege is up next with his quintessential New York Story.  Katie Aldhizer curls up next to describe her senior photo.  And Grady Dennis wraps up the classiness by remembering the time he asked to be shown the receipts.

We're keeping it real trim this time, with this focused program of podcastical merriment.  First, Mark Sam Rosenthal describes his senior photo AND the phenomenon known as Dit Dots.  Second, we have Rachel Scherer driving another telemarketer crazy.  Third, Ginger Kearns tells of a looooong date in LA.  Lastly, I read the credits and say goodbye.  Goodbye!

Ta! You're currently holding a very special episode of Sketch Pod! While we were recording, we kept getting a line crossed with WYUP-FM in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  We decided to leave the interruptions in anyway.  Around those interruptions, we have Lauren Maul waxing poetic about pizza.  There's also Carolyn Castiglia with the tale of her first stage appearance.  Mark Sam Rosenthal is here too, and tells of an exciting celeb sighting.  And lastly but certainly not leastly, H. Alan Scott remembers a performance at a very special fundraiser.

Greetings!  After an opening especially designed to catch your attention, we welcome strapping, young H. Alan Scott to the mic to tell of that time he got caught being nasty in a bookstore.  Then, after a short respite in a Real Life Day Job sketch, we have fetching, fancy Jason Jude Hill describing his senior photos to us.  Ah, but then!  Beguiling, mysterious Mehran Khaghani brings us home with the story of how karma bit Cuzanne in the nether-regions.

We're jumping on the year-end-meme bandwagon with this episode.  After jumping off again, Katie Compa launches into a tale of New Year's Eve spent on a red eye flight.  Rachel Scherer then gives the scam back to the telemarketer, but with plenty of namaste.  Rachel then returns immediately to describe HER worst New Year's Eve ever.  And lastly, Kyle Supley and Grady Dennis discover beauty from within.

Go ahead...open this present of podcastical joy!  We've got Carolyn Castiglia waxing poetic about the cold weather.  Then we meet three women in the midst of a dry spell.  Our ol' favorite, Pushy Muldowney jumps in next with a description of her senior photos.  And lastly, the lovely H. Alan Scott weaves a tale of sex and international travel and a celebrity sighting!

If you'll pardon a hold-over from last time, we would like to start this episode with an ode to November.  Look out, it's big!  Following that, we'd like to have Jamie Cruz Velazquez speak of a Ren Faire-y roommate he once had.  Darell J. Hunt then paints a picture of his high school senior photo.  The return of The Convo cozies in next to ask the question, "Shall we get started?"  And lastly, the lovely Rebecca Vigil speaks the truth we're all thinking about airport security.

Oh, cheers!  Thanks for the drink.  Come...sit down for our poetry open mic night, which threads throughout this fifty-fourth chit-chattery like gilt strands of gossamer giltings!  This time, we also have Darrel J. Hunt telling us about his friend's conversation car.  There's Lauren Maul as well, reminiscing about that time she ran into Larry David on the street.  And let's not forget Rachel Scherer with the tale of a co-worker who had issues with BOTH anger and Klonopin!  

Jason just doesn't get it about the Oxford Comma, and so that leads to an argument to start our fifty-third shindig here. We rebound by having Katie Compa tell of her very temporary Halloween costume one year. Then Greg Dubin remembers a costume that wasn't temporary enough. Just in time for the election (ugh) we have a chance for you to buy your own Make America Great Again Chess Set - operators are standing by! And we wind things up with Lauren Maul experiencing a glitch in the matrix on the subway one day.  But it was probably nothing!

Don't be alarmed, it's just the start of our latest podcastical water cooler chat! This time, we are sponsored by Thankless Greetings, and they therefore stop by to show us what they've got. Mark Sam Rosenthal is here, with memories of an amazing costume he wore on a lackluster Halloween. Greg Dubin is here too, to tell the tale of a date that had a vehement stance on ketchup. And our good friend Ginger Kearns is here as well with reminiscences on cheap Halloween costumes.

Well, now that we've passed the half-century mark, we can really get down to work.  And we do that with a very Emily-type opening.  Then Garry Hannon stops by to tell us of that pair of Gucci loafers he just had to have.  From there, we receive a voicemail from the illustrious Jazzy Sanz.  Katie Aldhizer is next with her experience dating THE "Snack Man".  We then pause for a word from Gentleman Caller Whiskey.  And we wrap things up with the unique way that Jeff Hiller gave back after receiving a lovely gift whilst abroad.

No, we're not fed up with Jason, so don't start any rumors on the podcast blogs.  (Although there is a challenge at the top of the episode.)  This time, as we crest a half-century of episodes, Isaac Oliver starts by explaining how comfy his buyer's remorse is.  Then Rebecca Vigil tells of that time she got REALLY close to an almost celebrity.  The podcastical premiere of "Pull the Front to the Side" follows next to invoke shock and awe.  And lastly, Grady Dennis remembers when Jason let that blonde guy in and he wasn't supposed to.

Watch yourself!  The opening to this episode is a little insistent.  Ah, that's better.  Welcome.  Jodi Coyote gets us started this time with a tale of buyer's remorse.  Mehran Khaghani is back next with a prescription for awful people.  Kyle Supley's here too, with a reminiscence of his time taking piano lessons from Mrs. Windish.  OH!  And they changed church, but don't worry about it. (You should worry about it.)

I can't tell you how lovely it is to see you here again.  This is the 48th episode, you know.  And you just keep coming back for more!  Welp, this time we start off with Selena Coppock explaining how the concept of "general time" works.  Then we have another painful Real Life Day Job transcript for you.  Grady Dennis is up next with the one song he's not allowed to sing anymore.  From there, we sail confidently into a piece of audio from a vintage PSA.  And we wrap up with Jamie Cruz Velazquez's fabulous work in a musical version of Macbeth.  HUZZAH!

After a very dry and dusty opening, courtesy of Grady Dennis, we get down to it.  So to speak.  Firstly, there's Desi del Valle's story of a very memorable first date.  Thenly, Robert Gross is back to recount when that b*tch took his role in the first grade pageant.  Nextly, we spend some time with Wendy and Mary whilst they have a fancy dinner out.  And lastly, Mehran Khaghani remembers that time on that plane with that friend and that bud.  Is your friend okay?

Oops!  Didn't mean to scare you, but here we are at the outset of our 46th podcastical time together.  Let's jump right into it with another Real Life Day Job conversation, shall we?  And then, why don't we listen to Selena Coppock tell of the time she agreed to perform at a college reunion?  And since we like Selena so much, let's then take in a word about the new "lady product" called In Loo?  And then, with so much time left, let's have Jamie Cruz Velazquez tell us about the time he finally had to go to Disney?

I'm gonna be checking my voicemail throughout this episode, but don't let that distract you.  Let's see...this time...we've got Grady Dennis and his Naughty List!  He also once ran into Christina Ricci at work, you know.  Mehran Khaghani will also regale with a tale of getting his family checked in at the airport.  Jodi Coyote has some stank job experiences to relate.  But really, this episode is all about Sharon Spell and how she lays us all out with the double-barrel tale of her Elvis Moment, followed by her daddy's healing powers. NEXT MESSAGE!

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping you'd come over here to listen to this latest episode.  I mean, Katie Aldhizer once dated a stripper.  Did you know that?  And did you know there was that time Calvin Cato got some work booty in an alley down by the Seaport?  (I was shocked, too!)  Oh!  I'm gonna refill my drink, so you listen to this caveman sketch that Pushy Muldowney wrote whilst I'm gone, okay?  And just like that I'm back!  Before you run off, though, real quick...did you know that Dana Rossi had quite the experience as a costumed colonial in Philly?  She totally did!

It swells our heart to have you here, sharing this forty-third podcastical bread basket with us.  (Maybe it's all the butter causing the swelling.)  Shonali Bhowmik is first with the tale of a stank woman's intimidation tactics.  Then we have the first installment of Real-Life Day-Job Tales.  A reminiscence of Ruth Shaw follows, courtesy of Robert Gross.  After a word from our sponsor, Jeff Hiller tells us to look it up (or not).  And lastly, or firstly depending on how you look at it, Rebecca Vigil tells us what she did on that futon in Koreatown.

They've just started to board my flight, but I have time to tell you about this 42nd spool of yuks and yarns we have here.  Ginger Kearns is first with her Dad's extreme reaction to food that's touching.  Then Mark Sam Rosenthal stops by with two tales in which he realized he should have known better.  Dana Rossi is interrupted by a call from her Mom, before Katie Compa tells how closely her grandmother adhered to rules.  And lastly, Isaac Oliver remembers the time he was in Ohio and just needed a vegetable.

Once our vocal warm-ups are out of the way, we can really get started.  And start we do with Garry Hannon telling of a pickle he got into when he once brought a guy home.  Then we plop down in a talent agent's office as Sara and Corri have their first exciting meeting.  Dana Rossi is up next, along with her fig anxiety.  Following closely behind is lesson one from the "Patience for Artists" series.  And we wrap up with Rebecca Vigil and how her ode to Freedom Fries landed her at court.  Huzzah!

We'd make a joke about now being over the hill (40 episodes and all), but we'd prefer you to keep thinking of us as a spry, young thing.  And to that end, we start this episode with Sharron Paul discussing her feelings about Medieval Times.  Then it's a new episode of The Convo, where we tackle "Can you believe this?"  Robert Gross pops in next with the best gift he's ever received from a student.  And we finish up with an in-depth analysis of Jeff Hiller's early stage experiences - including line counts!  

Allow us to start this thirty-ninth time gathered at the podcastical water trough with a thrilling demonstration in sound! Then, we can get down to business with Mark Sam Rosenthal's opinion on buyer's remorse. Immediately following, we have an audio trailer for the new drama "Downward Facing Scared". Katie Aldhizer then pops by with the recipe for a new dip she thought up. And, after a musical interlude, Shonali Bhowmik tells us of the performance when she knew she'd finally made it.  You'll agree.

Give us a kiss...it's the season, no? That's just our way of welcoming you to Sketch Pod, where in fact, our first topic is 'Valentine's Day - Yay or Nay?' This edition we also offer Pushy Muldowney and the tale of some special Valentines received. Rebecca Vigil is on board as well to tell of an awkward first date. If that weren't enough, Isaac Oliver will also thrill with the story of a pair of intriguing co-workers. And sprinkled over top are several promos for Alec Baldwin's killer new podcast "Here's the Ouija Thing." Smooches!

Sitting comfortably? Great. Allow us to reveal this crisp, new episode of Sketch Pod for you. (It's a '37.) We start off this pack of episodes with a smokin' discussion of smoking with Dana Rossi.  Then Robert Gross tells of a painful first date that haunts him to this day. By this point, it's time for an office tour at your new job. And lastly, Jeff Hiller explains why he will never return to a Renaissance Faire. Kind sir!

New year...new you...new opening.  And yet it's eerily familiar, isn't it?  (Welcome to Sketch Pod, btw.)  Jason Jude Hill starts things off with a hands-free call.  Then we hand out another Digie Award, the first of two this time.  Calvin Cato then cuts in with a line about his best worst New Year's Eve.  After the promised second Digie Award handed out, Katie Aldhizer wraps things up with the tale of Vacation Mom.  You guuuyyyyysss...!

Happy Merry Holitide!  This very special episode you're holding opens with Grady Dennis telling of the worst gift he ever received.  Then Sharon Spell does much the same thing - a well-intentioned gift that STILL makes her say bad things.  From here, it's a short jaunt to Oz, just in time for Dorothy's short jaunt back home again.  We next switch holidays and hear how Garry Hannon spent two separate New Year's Eves in spectacular fashion.  Then Grady Dennis does much the same thing.  With the GOOD champagne.

If I can get a word in here, I'd like to welcome you to the latest of these digital chit-chats.  We open, after a manner becoming our age, with Pushy Muldowney telling of her annual run-in with a pervy Santa.  Then a dramatic re-creation follows of an unfortunate attempt at a hand-off.  Grady Dennis then just has to have some cowboy boots.  And, lastly but greatly, Ginger Kearns has another holiday story about her father...and his flip phone.  Ring-ring!!
