This week, I'm joined by Ellen Winter and Chris Littler of Chamber Band to talk about their new podcast for Two-Up Productions, the production company that brought you Limetown.36 Questions is a fabulous PODCAST MUSICAL starring Jessie Shelton (Hadestown) and Jonathan Groff (Glee, Spring Awakening, Hamilton) and you should go and listen to it right now, before you listen to this interview. Go ahead! I'll wait. You'll love it.Chris, Ellen, and I discuss:The creative process!Snow-shoeing!How J-Groff doesn't know what a duck isLin-Manuel Miranda loving the showIn The Goo with Ellen and Chris...and much more!
Chamber Band have made it their mission to emotionally disarm you while exploring beloved nerd worlds. In their debut record, Deities, they cheekily adventured through Dungeons & Dragons, in Careers they braved The Hunger Games, and now in Governor's Square they're taking on H.G. Wells' The Time Machine and The Invisible Man. However, in all cases it's best you check your preconceived notions before venturing further. Love, loss, and existential but infinitely relatable quandaries await you - and with those universal themes, captivating music. This is no mere fanfiction; Chamber Band cuts their source material to the core. Join Cap and vocalists/ songwriters Chris Littler and Ellen Winter as they explore the new record and how it fuses two beloved sci-fi classics into one potent narrative. But that's far from all Chamber Band has been up to - they're the writers behind the podcast smash-hit 36 Questions! Hear about how this musical/ audio drama hybrid came to be, the challenges of drastically changing up both formats, and getting props from the creator of Hamilton. We also debut a new track and unleash an unheard rarity from the archives.

Every other week, The Nerdy Show Network‘s flagship podcast pours over the latest geek news and happenings! Join us as we hang out with some of the most artful purveyors of Nerd Music on the scene: Chamber Band! You may remember when we spoke to them about their debut record Deities, or perhaps when they made it into the upper echelon of our Top 20 Nerdy Things of 2013. These rockers, who stole our hearts with their emotionally upending songs from the world of Dungeons & Dragons, have returned to conquer a whole new corner of the nerd kingdom: The Hunger Games. But, like their former record, this new album doesn't require fandom to be a fan - these nerdy nuances highlight bigger themes that anyone can connect with. Join Cap and Nerdy.FM station manager Lauren Furze (aka TheFifthSister) as they're joined by Ellen, Chris, A. Sarr, and Sam of Chamber Band for a journey into this new record: Careers. This episode journeys through the record with background on each track, songwriting stories, and tales from the road. Cap has zero Hunger Games experience, so Lauren and Chamber Band light the way - sharing how they got into the series, what they connected with, and what made it into the album. This interview first appeared as a Nerdy.FM album-release listening party - October 5th, 2015.

It’s RPG Month! That means we’ve got a slew of programming focused on the craft of tabletop roleplaying and the people it’s inspired. In this episode we’re joined by Chamber Band a folk rock outfit whose tales of heartbreak and dire deeds are all set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. If their name rings a bell it might be because their debut album, Deities, rocked our world in 2013 and placed #6 in our annual Top 20 Things list! What can we say – they’re good, and we don’t mind talking ‘em up! Chris and Asarr of Chamber band team up with Cap, Hex, Doug, and Josh to discuss the world of tabletop, stories from the game, and (perhaps surprisingly) Pokémon! We also mash this episode up with a Microsode topic! Nerdy Show listener, M wanted us to talk about the RPG phenomena of “munchkins” – the slang for aggressively competitive RPG players. We share our experiences conquering and subduing the beasts, or even accepting the munchkin within us and using its powers for good.Learn more about your ad choices.
