A Christmas Carol!
Well, we did it. Dubbing ourselves the Empty Bottle Theatre Group, I assembled a cast of my closest friends to perform something that I have wanted to do for a long time, a live, old-time radio serial. When I asked everyone if they were interested, I got back an enthusiastic response, but since everyone was so busy this season, we had to improvise. So here is the theme, some characters were changed around and everyone got an un-edited script. It was one I found online that was used in Orson Well's original radio drama. Everyone was responsible for editing their own lines and could do whatever they wanted. We got together and ran through one scene, changed a few characters off the cuff, cracked open a few bottles of wine and ran with it. So what you are hearing is a completely un-rehearsed, ad libbed version of A Christmas Carol. You can tell that as it nears the end of the show, we all are getting drunker and drunker... I did very little editing and we all just had a blast. Granted MY ACCENTS ARE HORRIBLE, but it was all in good fun. You can hear us laughing in the background and several times, we almost couldn't contain ourselves as everything was done impromptu, which resulted in much spontaneous laughter. A big thanks to Gary Dring from the Clever Little Pod podcast, my friend from the UK. He was kind enough to record the narration for the show. Thanks to Marco Rossetti for taking some great shots while we were recording, thanks to Dan Byers for helping with production and another big thanks to all my crazy friends who made this a great night of fun.

It was a tragic week last week. Our city is stunned by the violence that happened at the Westroads Mall here in Omaha Nebraska and are still trying to make some sense out of it. It's not the only time this year that our community has suffered a loss due to gun violence, but on a scale like this and with no apparent cause or motive, it is truly heartbreaking.
So many lives affected by this. Families rocked with suffering. It was a place where anyone could have been, it always seemed so safe. This show is dedicated to those suffering. I don't know if I said anything very profound, but it is a medium I have to pay tribute with. I wish all those that lost someone this year due to senseless violence will find peace somehow... |

Welcome to Episode 32. I thought this was going to be kind of a laid back episode with my in studio co-host Korey Anderson. Well it was for a while. We just chat about all sorts of things in this episode. All is good...until. Drive by Yeah, after Korey leaves, I experience street violence right out in front of my house. I talk about it in the second half of the show. It was quite terrifying. Punk ass bitches. At least we didn't get shot. But it was not a pleasant experience.

Back from Mexico!
Greetings everyone! We are back from Mexico and are now happily married! Sorry about the long wait between podcasts - no I have not podfaded - it has just been overwhelming keeping up with work, planning the wedding trip and then actually enjoying the two weeks in Mexico. It was a great time and everyone that went had a life-changing experience. Of course when we got back, it was back to work, so catching up has been taking up all our time as well as building a huge deck in our back yard. Whew!! Now that things are calming down, we are gearing up for our reception, but have been able to take some time out for other things - like a new episode of Worlds of Wayne!! Get strung out - After seeing this quartet perform live at an art auction event, I knew I had to get them on the show. All of them are under 19 years old and they are called the DeBrodiez Quartet. Not only are they great musicians, they are fun, intelligent, well spoken and are carving their mark in the local orchestral scene. Hell, they played the new Holland Center before Connor Oberst did! The DeBrodiez have also released a CD to raise money to help pay for their tuition to the Rocky Mountain Summer Conservatory, a camp in Colorado they will be attending. Check out the link below and order this CD for only $12!! Help them get to camp and enjoy some great music in the process. Maggie's Movie Minute Maggie joins me in the studio and we talk about the Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer. Music by: Tracy Silverman The DeBrodiez Quartet The Hold Steady Links: The DeBrodiez Website ORDER THEIR CD BY EMAILING: lukewitchger@gmail.com Rocky Mountain Conservatory site Tracy Silverman on the web The Hold Steady on Myspace |
