This week brings you a virtual hang with the talented and inspiring Nashville-based musician Zoë Nutt (“How Does it Feel”).
It’s no surprise that JV is once again delighted to have a guest who brings back a conversation to the weird, special dynamic of San Francisco adolescence, in this case with Boy of Summer Josh Levine (Rebel Radio podcast). From teens behaving badly in private ravines to early hiphop, this is a juicy ep not to be missed!
The simply wonderful Nore Davis (Live From the Comedy Trap House) joins JV for The JV Club’s most epic M.A.S.H. game to date! Plus! Nore talks Yonkers, badass aunts, kickass brothers, and what it’s like to record a comedy album over Zoom in the middle of a quarantine.
Put this episode somewhere safe, because it’s going to be worth a lot of money someday! To find out why (and in what way this show description is teasing our delightful guest), sit down with the wonderful Ify Nwadiwe to find out about seven-purpose pans, yearbook messages, the many problems of “Candyman" and more!
It’s the dynamic force that is Baron Vaughn this week on The JV Club! This Boy of Summer talks performing arts high schools at the nation’s Theatre capital… Las Vegas??
Attention would-be marine biologists! It’s the amazingly funny Colin Mochrie (Whose Line is it, Anyway?), who talks killer whales and kayaks, hypnotism and improv, and a familial silver lining during a tough time. PLUS! Find out who “THE OTHER” is!
Deviated septums! Pierced septums! Why so much talk about septums? All this and a BUNCH of non-septum-related conversation with the wonderful Adal Rifai (Hello From the Magic Tavern, Hey Riddle Riddle), who continues the “I moved all over the country” trend of recent guests with tales of Circus Circus, Columbus Columbus, and Kewanee Kewanee.
This week JV is super honored to interview one of her comedy heroes, the wonderful, humble and hilarious Alan Zweibel (“Laugh Lines: My Life Helping Funny People Be Funnier”).
Finish up your homework and treat yourself to this week’s episode with our latest Boy of Summer, Open Mike Eagle (What Had Happened Was), who talks with JV about freestyling, endless schoolbus rides, dusty cities and more!
Attention, astronauts! Or at least chorale competition-hopefuls who visit the Kennedy Space Center! Pull up an earbud for this chat with the delightful Harvey Guillén.
From a recording made in early May, it’s our latest Boy of Summer, Andy Daly! One of the nicest and funniest folks in comedy chats with JV about beautiful beignets, hilarious hawkeyes, and his new album ‘Four More Sweaters: Monsters Take Your Questions’… and oh yes, MORE!
Tre’vell Anderson (Fanti) indulges JV’s Model U.N. fascination, talks current events (wow, what a month June has been!), and about finding your way to yourself.
JV sits down with her first Boy of Summer! It’s comedian, writer, actor and Emmy Award-winning producer Dwayne Kennedy (United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell)
In order to both address issues very much in our country’s focus this week, as well as to honor Breonna Taylor’s birthday (last Friday June 5th- she would have been 27), JV gets the opportunity to talk with the wonderful Colin Miller (Undisclosed podcast), a lawyer and professor who is working with Breonna’s family’s legal team to address the No-Knock Warrant aspect of the case.
Amid everything happening this week, Janet decided not to post a new show as regularly scheduled.
