Traumatized with Erin and Jason

Traumatized with Erin and Jason is a comedy podcast in which hosts Erin Ridgeway and Jason Apple take a look back at the children's movies and TV shows that terrified us as kids, and re-examine them in the cold light of adulthood. We cover children's movies and TV shows from our Xennial childhood, from "Watership Down" to "Return to Oz" to "Are You Afraid of the Dark," to name just a few. Why was kids’ entertainment so weird from the ‘70s to the early ‘90s? What was up with Disney’s foray into family-friendly horror? How did "Poltergeist" manage to get a PG rating? We may never get to the bottom of it, but we’re exploring those questions and many more with fast-paced banter, pop culture references, and occasionally, actual knowledge. ($18, 18+)

The Smartest Man in the World with Greg Proops

Greg Proops is The Smartest Man In The World

Rolling Stone Magazine
“Here he is, though, in front of a live audience each week, bravely recording some of the boldest comedy on the podcasting frontier right now.”

New York Times
“Greg Proops’s bold, never-boring voice takes center stage in this live recording of his renowned podcast.”

It's just Proops and you. There's no fan fare. Proops takes center stage at small table and chair setup with a single microphone. Then he's off. An hour of great conversation that flies by at a break neck clip. He crams the feeling of a great two-way conversation into the lecture-style format of a one-way conversation.

Part professorial, part crazed comedian, Proops forms the show around his talent and passions. The show flows like a love letter to tangents. The Proopcast has been to Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Amsterdam, Montreal, London, Edinburgh, Austin, Cleveland, San Francisco and off the coast of St. Martin in the Caribbean. Now you must fall.

Be there and experience joy for once in your life.

Stuff You Should Know with Josh and Chuck (SOLD OUT)

BUY TICKETS

This show is SOLD OUT. Tickets may be available at the door night-of.

"Stuff You Should Know" is the award-winning podcast hosted by Chuck Bryant and Josh Clark and produced by the venerable website HowStuffWorks. Twice weekly since 2008, "Stuff You Should Know" has released a mind-addling array of episodes, cracking open the mechanics, history and cultural and scientific impact of topics like: Ouija boards, asteroid mining, termites, the use of MDMA to treat mental illness, the game of horseshoes, gender reassignment surgery, what would happen if the Earth stopped spinning, Barbie(r) dolls, peak oil, the effects of going without sleep, bioluminescence, disco, icebergs, the fat tax and so on and so on, totaling nearly 700 episodes and adding two more every Tuesday and Thursday.

Over the years, "Stuff You Should Know" has grown beyond the podcast to include video series like Don't Be Dumb; a pretty good social media presence on Facebook and Twitter where Josh and Chuck chat with their fans, field suggestions and are told what they got wrong in any given episode; and a website, Josh and Chuck's home on the web, StuffYouShouldKnow.com, where they like to share examples of their interests in photos of abandoned places, old Halloween costumes, terrible ideas in history, and other neat stuff. They are also beginning work on a "Stuff You Should Know" book, which they intend to complete and have published before the end of the decade, they hope. They also played themselves in a short lived but much loved scripted TV show on Science channel.

Chuck and Josh live in Atlanta, though not together; instead with their wives, Emilie (Chuck) and Umi (Josh). When they aren't working - but really, in this day and age, when is anyone not working, you know? - Chuck plays in his old man band, as he's a bit of an amateur guitarist, and Josh likes to find and try new cocktail recipes, as he's a bit of an amateur mixologist.

Deep Night with Dale's World of Gems

Step inside the weird reality of Deep Night with Dale’s World of Gems for an evening of comedy, music, and questionable wellness advice. Join Dale as he explains the healing properties of overly priced rocks while being interrupted by a bevy of surprise guests and comedy superstars including JoAnn Schinderle, Phoebe Bottoms, Andrew Orolfo, members of Kasper Hauser, and more. With animation by Leanne Rule and music from Zelma Stone. It’s kind of like what would happen if the GOOP Summit included stand-up sets and instead of Gwyneth Paltrow, the whole thing was run by a middle-aged man in a turtleneck who brews essential oils on a hot plate.

Deep Night with Dale’s World of Gems is hosted by Dale Seever. Dale’s unique, open-to-anything, wide-eyed perspective conveyed in his signature constrictive baritone, has earned him a cult-like following in New York and beyond. He is the host of the long-running comedy podcast, Deep Night with Dale (2009-present) and has been a featured recurring guest on the talk show "Running Late with Scott Rogowsky" and "The Special Without Brett Davis" on cable access. Dale is the alter ego of James Bewley, a Brooklyn-based comedian and writer whose work has been presented as part of SF Sketchfest, New York Comedy Festival, ANT Fest at Ars Nova, 208 Comedy Fest, Seattle Sketch Fest, and the Chicago Comedy Festival.
