Tonight, my ghoulish guests, we crack open a chilling case of sorority sisterhood gone horribly flat! When Madison invites her frenemy Faith down to the basement for a taste of an exclusive new White Claw flavor, things get bubbly in all the wrong ways.

I talk to an actor I have an awful lot of nostalgia for: Paul Zaloom, best known as Beakman from the hit ’90s educational series Beakman’s World. This hour-long interview traces Zaloom’s journey from his own “Everly Heights,” Garden City in New York state, to his work in avant-garde theater and puppetry.
In the spirit of a classic 90s educational science show like Beakman’s World or Mr. Wizard, “Hey, Marie Molecule!” follows a young girl named Eliza, who visits the titular scientist with an anxiety-fueled question: “Will my brother become a super-villain from an X-ray?”.
Join me on a personal tour of the places that shaped my imagination, my life, and most importantly, my new audio drama Everly Heights Tales.

In this bonus episode, the cast of “Welcome, Freshmen” celebrates the final recording session with a virtual cast party! They talk about the process of making an animated series over the internet, what it was like to improvise around the script, and the creative collaboration between actors and writers. They also get into some voice actor tech talk and, of course, we learn the term “fluffy lungs.” Get to know the talented group of actors who brought this very special story to life.
Meet the Special family, a theater-loving, stoner couple and their three very different kids. It’s 1994, and Michael and Jennifer Special are just trying to help fund in the arts in their community, but their son Ricky is on the run from a school bully, and their daughter Zara is betting everything on a plan to start the school year as a popular girl. With a mix of ’90s nostalgia, sitcom homages, and a healthy dose of humor, “Welcome, Freshmen” will teach you the joys of scented oxygen, the perils of Crystal Pepsi, and why you should never trust a math teacher to do “creative accounting” for the arts. Equal parts funny, smart, and a little messed up, just like Everly Heights itself.
