Wired wrote a nice article about the podcast! https://www.wired.com/story/the-good-place-podcast/ I had no idea that Jackson used to be on NPR, but it totally follows. After all, he's.. from Earth.

I was unfamiliar with Marc Evan Jackson before TGP, what other show(s) has he shined in?

He created a free improv program with his wife for Detroit public schools, and that's amazing, honestly.  http://detroitcreativityproject.org/marc-evan-jackson-co-founder-dcp/

She was on the cover of the Guardian magazine too, and on seeing it my first thought was ‘oh yes, Tahani’, like that was perfectly expected. I mean she’s always appearing on magazine covers like her best friends Barry and Michelle.

CelestialScribe posted:Improv isn't just about comedy. I forget the Del Close quote, but it's something like, 'Improv isn't about being funny. It may be very funny, but that's not why it's done'. I'm butchering it to hell, but the sentiment is that, yeah, really good improv can be exceptionally funny, but the mental training is more about 'finding the truth of the scene' rather than 'go for the joke.' At least in the Del Close/UCB philosophy.

Improv rules if you are seeing talented people. The hardest I've ever laughed were all at great improv shows. And not all have to be jokes non stop, seen some great serious long form stuff.

PFT, Janet Varney and some others are coming to Detroit in a week to do two shows as part of the Detroit Improv festival. Tickets were pretty cheap too, like $30 per person. I wussed out on going since I'm super broke and my car's not all that reliable to drive an hour to the Magic Bag, but I'm sure good times will be had by all. I'd love to see PFT or any Comedy Bang Bang regulars beyond Jason show up on The Good Place, they're all so drat good at guest starring. I'll second that Spontaneanation is really good. Some episodes are inevitably far better than others, but there's lots of them out there to dig in to. It's sadly ending at 200 episodes (podcasts?) though. A few early gems worth checking out are the Atlanta, Georgia episode and one where they go to the garden of eden. You'd need a stitcher premium (or maybe howl.fm) subscription to go all the way back into the archives though.

If you find a reliable ride, I would buy you a ticket. I don’t get super starry-eyed over anyone but seeing PFT perform live was a real treat and everyone should enjoy it, imo.

Sadly I don't really have a ride there, my car's going to be used by my housemate to go to work then on top of its status as a jalopy. I would have sworn it was happening on Thursday, when work wouldn't be an issue, but I guess it's on Friday where it very much is. I have to figure he'll swing by for the detroit improv fest. again down the line, maybe I'll be able to set up something then. In the meantime I'm in no position to turn down charity of any kind, but "see PFT live" is a lot sexier of a proposition than "help fix plumbing issues in the broken down house I'm staying in" or other regular life stuff, but if you want to contribute to that fine cause I'd be all for it. Thanks for the offer anyway, it was greatly appreciated.

The swear filter on the podcast is oddly inconsistent, Marc repeatedly gets to declare himself "a naughty bitch"(understandable as it's one of the best uses of his voice ever) but they censored "Dress BENCH". I want them to discuss how they always make Janet appear with a simple, obvious jump cut. I still find it funny now.
