Touché Podcast

Jenn is in Jeff's bedroom this time and his cat is not having it. They discuss critics, thoughts on other actors getting the funnier lines, and how Jenn made Jeff beautiful with a trip to Sephora. Can you deal?

Sparkling playwright and actor Zackary Grady returns to the podcast to share his songbird vocal cords post surgery and we are smitten. Zackary also takes us through the play-by-play of him performing in a drag show in PTown and the results are cute! Getting the work DONE hunny and freeing that natural voice!!!

It's 2019 (sounds so Jetsons)! Jeff and Jenn have some intentions to set and many many reviews. They chat films to watch and stay away from, TV shows to binge and theatre to see. 2019 is going to be CREATIVE, PROSPEROUS and STABLE ok...(it kinda has to ;).

Jenn and Jeff are back in Hartford (gross) for the year-end special! They talk about their future goals and review the nonsense they spouted last year and how that turned out for them. It's a sobering discussion.

It's over. It's done. Last podcast in Jenn's bedroom. Jeff has just finished helping her put all her Barbies into storage, the couch is on the sidewalk for the city to pick up, and Jeff and Jenn are EXHAUSTED! ...but podcasting. We respect your time.

Prolific downtown legend Becca Blackwell shares the T, spills the T, is on the T. They talk how they found their voice as an artist from a truly amazing guidance counselor, gender identity, Twitter wars, patriarchy, and SURVIVAL kids! From running a 78 channel sound craft to Circus Amok to residencies and SO much more, Becca's words are nourishment: "BEING AN ARTIST IS A PRIVILEGE! Do it only if you have to do it." TOUCHE!

Jenn and Jeff are alone in the bedroom feasting on the souls of demons, celebrating Jeff's new Trader Joes, chatting NOT getting to plan life, adulting, AND OVERTALKING!!! OMG we are ready to MOVE FORWARD!...maybe. Also, Jeff is getting texts and it's scary for Jenn. BOO!

Randy Harrison is in Jenn's bedroom after spending a few years playing some of the greatest characters in the theatrical cannon. Randy dispels Jeff's myth that if you get on a TV show you can just ride that forever, and we talk about QWAN! The conversation is delightful and of course Jenn and Jeff try to sing Rent again, cause its like their thing now?

Jenn and Jeff enjoy a beautiful fall afternoon in the bedroom to discuss the self-reflecting classic, "When Things Fall Apart" by Pema Chodron. They also sing a little bit.

Ian is in the bedroom, and this lovely artists' knowledge spans from the fragrant notes in his deodorant to filmmaking...and EVERYTHING in between! We get San Fran theatre. We get comic book chat. We get musicals when you can't dance. And talk about making the most out of your bullying?!?!? We give you Ian! So much love.

Jeff and Jenn are back to just being by themselves. Jenn is embracing change even though she hates it, and Jeff is longing for it even though he doesn't really have any coming his way. Plus a lot more. This one goes to weird places including our worship of Rent and Spring Awakening.

Actors are not paper dolls and black Converse hightops are lazy. Writer, actress, and costume designer COLLEEN WERTHMANN graces the bedroom this week all the way from Harlem!!! She was a kid who literally paid her own way, asked Richard Foreman for her equity card, and likes to ask of her projects - Is it fun? Is it cool? Is it interesting? And is it something I can be proud of? Colleen makes joyful things and we are HERE for them!

Michael Cyril Crate and Barrel is in Jenn's room and we are talking about being proud of your work, hope vs fantasy, and also Jeff cries cause I guess he's feeling vulnerable.

Jeff hit his head at work but brought ME flowers, a substitute mic, a new roommate, a dash of Parker Posey and a LOT of Stormy Daniels...a TRUE compost of an episode :)

"Art can't hurt you". Director, editor, filmmaker, artist Will Mayo joins us in the bedroom this week to lend a lens capturing a filmmakers perspective on the biz. Also: Tennessee, dating your neighbor, art camp...
