POPULARITY
Comedian, actor, and entertainer, Ian Insect explains how he is using Instagram live to connect Pittsburgh creatives in a time of trial and uncertainty. Ian joins Brian to discuss how the online showcase of talent on Instagram has been received by the audience, how he is coping with social distancing as an artist, how he is trying to help others, and the importance of community during a difficult time. Over the coming weeks we'll meet with artists, museum directors, even the general manager of professional sports team.

Garrett Titlebaum: It's Nice To See He's Working RSS I love to catch up with people that I haven’t connected with in some time, so when I saw that Dana Leahy was putting up a play this weekend, I jumped at the chance to invite her on the program.This Friday and Saturday (8PM & 10PM) at The Glitter Box, she stages her second play of the year, A New Pittsburgh Christmas Carol. In the episode we get into the impetus to create the show, as well as growing up in Ohio, but mostly dedicate most of our time talking about the importance of composting.Dana was super supportive of my old open mic The Wide Open Stage that I did at The Cattivo Lounge in Lawrenceville. I’ve always enjoyed her voice and perspective. I very funny lady for sure.I’m excited to see this weekend’s performance with a cast that features podcast alums and dear friends of mine Ian Insect & Michelle Riches. Please check it out. 1-800-637-HOPE (4673)

The inspiration for the Midge Crickett song "This Podcast Sucks"!!! Two podcasts become one as guest host Abby Denton chats with Pittsburgh's greatest chanteuse Midge Crickett and Ian shares a wavelength with Epicast fam, Sikes. We touch on performative anxiety, worms, art as therapy and maintaining confidence. Spolier Alert: There was never a husband sitting there!!!
Runnin' bits and chompin' crabcakes, Michael Quigley and Jenna Sivak (and guest host Abby Denton!) create a touching, vulnerable environment as they touch on openness, the nature of trust and the muse of inspiration when creating for children. They don't touch children.
With this episode, the show is finally put on a long leash. Sean Kendle ("In Poor Taste" podcast), magician Vince Charming and Epicast's own Nick Miller try our best to alienate every listener, calling out everyone from anarchists to malaria carriers. It's gonna be a mixture, it's gonna be dirty. How long can you last?
Live in front of an unwitting studio audience! Well, for a couple minutes. Anyway, passion comes up and so does relaxation. Brian and Hannah discuss the in-between space and the moment that you bite the bullet. The thoughts and views expressed during this broadcast represent! They represent hard. [1:25] if there is a chance of getting this up this afternoon or tonight, that'd be ideal since this ep is a little time sensitive to this weekend
What a discussion! The development of art and artists and the self-assessment that ensues! Once we finally define a facet of art as altruistic communication, we switch to kitties. And as always, Ian ends up taking pot shots at John Ruskin.
Ian Insect Is Evil ep. 24 "Bad Decisions" feat Casey Hanner, Cumi Ikeda & Frank McDadeIn the creakiest episode yet, a musician, a stand-up and a puppeteer walk in to a studio and discuss passion, money, hamburgers and validation. Just kidding, it's a murder mystery! Can you figure out who the asshole is before we do?
As you guessed from the title, it's a tag team team up for the title! Anthony Stewart and Ziggy Sawdust team together on the side of cats and social progression to take on human devolvement and nostalgia with the aid of returning champ cohost Abby Denton!
Excitement ensues with the return of our beloved cohost Abby Denton!! The discussion, driven by artist-entrepreneurs Spencer Allan Patrick and Lauren Goshinski, delves into the function of art in society, specifically in this city, and the function of Sesame Street as a sketch show. Bro...
Surrounded yourself with Swive and step back: Ryan, Jason and Amanda don't talk about the glutes. Instead, they look at the nebulous logic of the alphabet, animals and cuteness and tiny electronics. The reviews are in: "Crisp!" "Beautiful!" #glutes
Neil and Mike match wits on creative inspiration, songwriting and learning the guitar, the dream world, boredom and a little bit o’ Bertrand Russell as Ian sits back and takes in our deepest episode yet. Join him!
Perhaps the definitive Swive official episode, this installment features “weirdoes like me” discussing falling from considerable heights and try to keep the conversation on track as it’s pulled in directions both comical and sonorous. Topics include proverbs, disappointment, traveling and grass.
In what is likely the most high energy, in-depth episode to date, Krish and Adriana tackle in a rapid fire fashion the subjectivity of morality, artistic responsibility, thugs and the power of language with ya boi. It's two of the city's most ambitious artists v. the most harrowing cultural insights yet!!! Swive, strap in!
The most in depth discussion about "Summer of '69" you'll ever experience leads Ian, Josh Lucas (@workhardpgh) and Jeff Betten (@pgh_jefe) into the basement of though as they consider music's role in society and the humble breag of being ill defined. Might as well go for a soda..
A most intense episode wherein two of the city's perennial pillars of entertainment discuss pride fear and fallopian colloquialisms with ya boi. Extra special guests at the end!
Ashley Corts, Brian Mendelssohn and Jesse Prentiss. We run into the business end of the podcasting stick, talking to three of Pittsburgh's most notable entrepreneurs. We talk independence, movies and raw talent. And guess what... cats come up again!
Episode 14, Jude Benedict and Cheryl Capezzuti. You knew we'd find ourselves here soon enough. And what two better Pittsburgh artists to explore the nature of love, the transcendence of promise, companionship and arm wrestling. Also some live tracks by Jude!
feat. Michael McGovern Eric and Laurie from Uke and TubaA rollicking good time amongst like minded individuals. The absurdities and wordplay fly as we play jump rope with levity and gravity, eventually landing on the possibility of forgiveness as a selfish act.
We take on the concepts of art, apathy and the confluence of humor and poeticism. We come hard. We come strong. Come with us.
Special Ep. Pittsburgh Comedy Festival"Stupid" feat. Woody Drennan, Derek Minto, Shannon Norman and John Dick Winters.In this non-canonical installment, we inspect the second year of the Pittsburgh Comedy Festival while Ian insists on investigating what comedy is used for. We want answers! Spoiler Alert: NO ANSWERS! @ianinsect @BringstheRuckus @johdickwinters @shambonez @ianinsect @EpicastTV
While playing a "namedrop your own podcast" drinking game, Ian gets drunk and gets deep with fellow Epicast family, Day (@partnerspod, @DayBracey), Marta (@icantfindmarta) and Buzzkill (@Buzzkillprof), which sets the tone and sets them on a discussion about who we are and who he is.
When do YOU feel embarrassed? Ian does his best not to embarrass--by proxy--the always insightful Amy Mmhmm, the ever-incisive Double Diamond Dave Dick and the instant Derek Minto as they both discuss and become guinea pigs.
School's in session, we got your chemistry prof, Jesse Irvin (@jessehasafuture), Brandon Schell (@brandonjschell) teachin math and Senor Norlex Belma with an introductory Spanish lesson. Try not to give substitute teacher Lusitania Perry too much hassle.
The grimiest episode yet showcases Dickie Leftfoot (FleekFleece),Travis Walling (FleekyFrome) and Co. trading plenty of burns and slams. We grab hold of the short 'uns from the start and never let go. Make sure first aid's handy!
Wherein our doubtful host bands with other unknown notables to raise awareness for cephalopod equality. He parries, thrusts and pontificates on the duplicity of populist art as well as the publicity of doppelgangers, all the while proving he's literate and okay at math.
Wherein our dutiful hosts spins the proverbial plates of three, Three, THREE INTERVIEWS IN ONE, facing off against Stacy, Sean and Mark, a few of of this fair city's most philosophical, philological and respectful creators in their respective fields. In this pedantic heavyweight bout, they define the truth, defend the multiplicity of perspective, insist Ian rebuild the fourth and demand that he leave the city immediately. Today we learn that the lesson is howtodie!
Two extremely insightful members of Pittsburgh's artistic community join Ian in extending dick jokes, discussing online dating, observing the fictional qualifications for art and cutting some fressshhhhh promos all to a jaunty a capella soundtrack of their own design.@Rob_Speer@IanInsect@EpicastTV
One of Ian's favorite local musicians is held in the studio against his will and forced to discuss creative impulse, traditional artist archetypes and people he's met.
Guests Tom Henry and Mia Tarducci Henry (Pittsburgh Center for the Arts 2014 Emerging Artist) sit with Ian to discuss jsut how good dick jokes can be, as well as Leo Tolstoy, Rick Moranis and the overlapping worlds of painting and comedy,@TomHenryOfDeath@MiaTarducciart@IanInsect@EpicastTV
Discussing Fringe festivals, cosmetics reps, adult massagers, deez nuts, local businesses, local celebrities and the core concept of evil presentiment.@IanInsect@mizabitha@Epicasttv@mikewhytweets
