S01E04 with Martin James and improv from STEM Kidz

We’ve come to the end of season one! What have I learned? Well that editing a podcast with entire teams on them is really challenging. This one had one mic that I just couldn’t get better audio out of for a lot of it. But I’m learning Audition so that’s cool. It’s been fun to be bad at something and play around and explore. Also this episode has Martin James (Big Telephone, Glasgow Improv Theater) whose goal to bring long-form improv to Glasgow is an inspiring one and he helped me let go of my own attachments to building and growing a community. Then of course there is the LA improv team STEM Kidz (Kati O’Hearn (katiohearn), Sean Quetulio (seanericson), Sean Smith (seansean213), Jeff Taylor (taylojn), Jack De Sanz (sackdejanz), Fiona Gronenthal (fionac_g), Katie Nathan (hiyakatielady), Lehr Beidelschies (lehrbeidelschies))! I was pretty amazed I got them all together and quiet enough to get introductions out. Their improv was side-splitting funny, but I already knew that. Thanks for checking these out. I’m sorry they are so long. I’ll probably get cut heavy the next time around. I hope you’ve gotten something out of listening to these. Whether it’s inspiration or laughs or a plan for a trip to a new city, or a little encouragement. I love improv more now than ever and I feel like I’m just beginning to see what it can do for people. This podcast helped me with that as well as the kindness and time people donated to the project. One more shoutout to Lisa Gilroy for the music. f you’re in the LA area and want to check out any of the teams from the podcast, come see a show at The WE Space.
