Producer. Director. Comedian … and easy on the eye, Mr. Glovebox Comedy, Cam is our super fun sideshow guest this week.   If you were looking for a podcast with two production nerds talking the importance of 1st meal on set being hot … then THIS is the podcast for you,   Jacques crossed paths in the stand-up circles with Cam pretty early on when he fell down this rabbit hole of weird people seeking approval from strangers by telling jokes about how bad at sex they are.   Cam, unlike so so many in this comedy thing – has actually real big-time credits on major TV and Movies AND … AND … again, unlike most talking about using those skills to do SOMETHING in comedy … Cam has turned Glovebox Comedy from occasionally producing booked shows and a weekly open mic into a full on comedy production (burgeoning) empire.  Producing like stand up, comedy gameshows events, sketches and improv events.   Cam is a super fun follow on the social.  Loving his tours of MBTA stations.   Camkmorton on IG Also: @glovebox.tv and @gloveboxcomedyclub   Follow CPP pretty much just on IG at: Carnival Personnel Podcast   Opening: Gomer by Beyond Id (on “The Stovin' Years on Spotify)   Closing Song: Bitter Old Man (by Dan Cray off “Bitter Old Man” EP on Spotify and Youtube.)    

It was a scary moment for roughly 500 MBTA riders Tuesday afternoon when a Blue Line train traveling from Maverick Station to the Aquarium station shut down leaving passengers stuck underground without air conditioning. It took Boston firefighters about an hour to evacuate the passengers through the subway tunnels to safety. According to the MBTA, a 50-year-old broken cable was the cause of the disabled train. In addition, a recent report shows operational costs at the MBTA have risen. Brian Kane, the Executive Director of the MBTA Advisory Board, joined us to discuss these points of interest and more!
