On the “burning bridges” episode of the podcast, Jordan Cooper, Chelcie Rice and Josh Homer welcome J-L Cauvin on the show to talk about the art of blogging as a comedian, why sharing honest experiences is important, how the expectation of success can ultimately cause your failure, and taking the training wheels off your comedy career to get down to serious work. In addition, we discuss the comprehensive degradation of live stand-up, how the middle class levels in comedy has crashed over the past few years, why comedians tend to treat online content as a second class, and dealing with the lack of incremental growth in your career.
On another “Spectorless” episode of the podcast, Jordan Cooper, Chelcie Rice and Josh Homer welcome Jim Mendrinos on the show to debate the shifting focus and evolution of the stand-up artform, structure versus subject matter, how the new generation of comics naturally will reject the old constructs, and that it’s nearly impossible to judge another person’s art. In addition, we discuss Jim’s approach of teaching comedy writing, getting ahead at the later stages of your career, how the internet has allowed veterans to reinvent themselves and given access for the first time in the industry to do exactly what it is that you want.

On the “fly on the wall” episode of the podcast, Jordan Cooper, Chelcie Rice and Josh Homer bring Mark Feigenbutz on the show for a very leisurely conversation about the internal and external struggles of moving up the comedy ladder, the destructive nature of staying inside your comfort zone, the process of framing material to suit a specific audience, and how it all ultimately comes down to the fear of failure. In addition, we discuss how badly the television networks are looking for content, why age demographics play a huge role in the industry opportunities you get, and how early success with a great five-minute showcase set can bite you in the ass later on in your career.
On the “worst pitch session ever” episode of the podcast, Jordan Cooper, Chelcie Rice and Josh Homer welcome Dan Pasternack, VP of Development & Production at IFC to discuss how a network scouts talent, the role of podcasts and web series as a development platform, and how to pitch a television executive on a new project. In addition, Dan shares with us the story of how Portlandia was developed on IFC, the difference between ideas versus execution, the importance of having a distinctive voice, why the biggest disservice to your career is to be seen before you’re ready, and ultimately how in this day and age, it’s the best time ever to be a comedian.

On the “no solutions” episode of the podcast, Josh Spector, Jordan Cooper, Chelcie Rice and Josh Homer welcome road veteran Dale Jones onto the show to discuss the state of the comedy club business from a comic’s perspective, how clubs can shift with the changing landscape to have more sustainability, why it all can be fruitless without data showing what’s working and what’s not, and if audiences simply don’t trust the “comedy club experience” anymore. In addition, we talk about the broadening definition of a what a comedy show is, how clubs in middle America can embrace tactics being utilized in Los Angeles & New York by understanding, embracing and being active in their local communities and thinking of themselves more as content companies than performance venues.
On the “don’t be an asshole” episode of the podcast, Josh Spector, Jordan Cooper, and Chelcie Rice welcome Ryan Budds onto the show to talk about his move to Los Angeles from Chicago, building relationships and being a jack of all trades in an industry town, why production assistant jobs shouldn’t be “underneath” you and the power of simply just asking people for things you would like to do. In addition, we continue to discuss Josh Spector’s recent trend of “trolling” questions towards comedians, why lamenting that there’s not enough club work isn’t a solution, how comics have been ingrained to think of the crowd as someone else’s audience, and the difference in mindset between doing work-for-hire and pursuing a career.
