What stories emerge when superpowers enter the audio format? How can superheroes reflect real-world problems, and what would an NPR-style broadcast sound like if it existed in a world where superhumans were real?

These are the stories that happen between the panels: looking at how superpowers change society and our individual lives; what happens when the battles are done and the heroes fly away.Learn more here and @SPRpod on social media.Bios:John Dorsey, son of a failed magician and successful businesswoman, is a natural storyteller.

Imagine a world with superhumans. You’ve got heroes, you’ve got villains, you’ve got... an NPR style radio station aimed at supers?

My family came over to the states as Jewish refugees when I was six. We moved to Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, of course, & I've been stomping the streets of NYC ever since. I love to take on roles that break societal norms, help expose new points of view, & make difficult subjects approachable. I started the company Besties Make Movies with my bestie. We've got a pilot along with several short films coming out of post production, two of which I wrote & star in. I'm currently in an ongoing class at The Studio Act under the instruction of Brad Calcaterra - who also plays a role in my film 2 WEEKS! I love the usual bad ass things like archery, walking a lot because I hate the subway, giving my dogs strange haircuts and pretending that I'm Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Currently, I'm filming the lead role of Maggie in the feature film TRIPLE THREAT, judging films for the Revolution Me Film Festival, & doing the festival circuit with my film JONES. http://marzyhart.com/ Have a story?

I caught up with straight girl/lesbian, best friend comedy duo Carlie and Doni for episode 8. Based in Los Angeles. They are regulars at The Improv and have a monthly show there called “Your Mom Says Hi!” which won a Global Accolade Award of Excellence and has been featured in festivals ITVFest and Out Web Fest. The girls have Headlined Universities and Comedy Clubs all over the country and their music video “Gangsta Waitress” features cameos by both Lily Tomlin and Richard Lewis. Carlie and Doni were voted best comedians in L.A. by Los Angeles Magazine as well as Hot Comics to watch by Campus Activities Magazine and I was so lucky to catch up with them with therapist Matthew Shima to chat about being fluid as fuck. That’s right, we’re talking about sexual orientation and how each of us has and continues to navigate the spectrum that is our sexuality - together, Carlie, Doni and I represent the spectrum and unveil some of the issues and hang ups that we’ve experienced coming into our own as straight, fluid and gay women.

Part 2 of our look at the ITVFest, now known as the Catalyst Content Festival, which moved to Duluth last year after two previous homes in Vermont following its 2006 founding in LA.

Ever wonder what exactly it is that men and women are expecting on a first date (hint:  it's not naked time) (don't pretend your mind didn't go there!)??   In October, #single was invited to the bonnie mountains of Vermont as part of its inaugural Podcast Competition of Independent TV Festival (ITVFest). Part of that honor meant recording an episode of our show while at the festival in the ITVFest podcast booth.  So Jeanette invited two sexy and single filmmakers/ content creators, Caris and Jonathan, to join her in talking about what's really got their goat about trying to find a special person online.   And while it was clear from the get-go that everyone has different expectations, together we landed on a concept that it seems we all want- that is, we want to be chosen for who we are, and we want someone to be excited to meet us.  We want that first date to be intentional.     Happy intentional dating, y'all.
