There are no plans to cancel the show. Seriously.

But I'm curious, if we lose $15,000/year doing the show (and our production expenses are not high), why should we keep doing it? Instead of, say, investing in another show with greater potential, using it for employee bonuses, etc. Or I could take some money for a change, I have a young daughter and living in LA is expensive. For that kind of money, I could send her to the best international school in the city. Or upgrade from my Hyundai to, well, most anything else (I would of course choose the school).

Again, I love the show and don't have plans to cancel it, but your comment made me feel like it was fair for me to ask the question. There are real costs to real people to make these shows.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

The TGCS folks doing improv together is pretty great. Although it would've been a perfect opportunity to have Alyssa on. :o: I'm pretty sure she was at DCM. She's very new to improv but I still think it would have been fun.

Shannon oneill is my favorite improviser, she used to come to chucktown every year for the comedy festival but it's been a while so I'm glad to hear her

I think it's just you. or different tastes or something idk

I think PFT overthought the improv section but things loosened up once Gourley chimed in, because he can't not be ridiculous. I liked the return of the monologue and guest segments from The Pod F. Tompkast.

The title and logo are pretty bad though. Seriously, what the hell

it doesnt work as well without the audience suggesting local settings for the improv that PFT and co have never heard of and the whole show is them struggling to set their scenes, which was 4/7 of the original live shows that i went to, and none of you did.

I think they confuse "being able to do a pretty good impression of someone/a type" with "doing a funny character"

its actually a flawless impression which makes the show awful and the racism understandable

In the Heights is just okay with lots of moments of near-brilliance, but Hamilton is truly on another level and Matt Besser and many people in this thread have bad opinions.

finally, the broadway show that combines battle raps and the politics of former Secretary of State and president Alexander Hamilton.......thats next level poo poo.

It made me wonder if there is such a thing as dramatic improv or other kinds of not necessarily comedy improv?

one of my improv teachers talked about how your characters become much more believable if you practice serious non funny scenes

I love them and liked the episode a lot but I was thinking that they seem to go against some of the improv rules Besser talks about sometimes (like the top of your intelligence thing) idk anything about improv though so maybe not and they're funny so I guess I don't care

rules exist to be broken

Does earwolf really need a podcast specifically for smarmy manager/finance guys, that "Question of the Day" one? Todays episode "What to do when your Uber driver is less than Uber?" other ones "Business lessons from the Kardashians" "Should I prepare my kids to be billionaires?" "The most important issues faced by managers"

Cant they just put that on whatever podcast network has the million other HOw to get rich and be a Good Adult podcasts instead of on Earwolf

that podcast is really bad

Cameron Esposito continues to prove she is insanely unfunny and interjecting her weird and untimely feminist political jargon in the middle of funny and good bits is incredibly annoying.

it seems she considers herself a voice for her people and refuses to stifle her message
