May 5, 2014Tap to summarizeLeah Mansfield came to the Casket Arts studio for a funny and serious chat. We also welcome local bilingual labor mediator James Wells! Leah takes time from her busy road schedule to mix it up with local Minnesota comedians, share comedy insights, and get us into a serious conversation about child rearing. This show was recorded right after comedian Adam Richmond was charged with sexual assault here in Minnesota. So trigger warning, the subject of rape comes up. Leah also shares a great Adam Richmond story.Today's podcast is sponsored again by Geekiana.

Apr 28, 2014Tap to summarizeThis week we tried a new experiment. Instead of the usual focus group, I asked the question: what if comedians could have a conversation with each other's ideas through sets? So a few brave souls came to the Casket Arts Studio 314 for a special edition of Arts & Crass where we played a kind of game. The winner is YOU. Guests include Patrick Ryan Bauer, Justin Colucci, Jun Sung, and David Sitrick.Arts & Crass is still sponsored by Geekiana.

Mar 9, 2014Tap to summarizePhil Kolas and David Harris join us for a night of classic Borscht Belt humor and magic.*This was a really fun episode as we get deep with two of Minneapolis' truly funny guys who also happen to be nice (being nice without being funny is basically the worst thing you could ever be, take it from your host).This episode is again sponsored by Geekiana. *podcast contains no Borscht Belt humor, nor magi
