Want to listen to two adults sitting down for a chat about a child's pocket monster game and having a damn good time doing it? Good, because fellow member of The Nerdologues Chris Geiger tells me a ton about his love of catching 'em all. 

His name is Matt Barbera, and he's a recovering out-oholic. Matt, currently in his tenth year of being president of the Playground Theatre, loves going out and being social so much he adopted (coined?) a term for it.

Sawyer Heppes (of the Otherworld Theatre ensemble and host of his own podcast, OC Dweeb) tunes in to MBSing to share his love of and long-standing fandom for television sitcoms. 

Adam Levin is a Chicago improviser not afraid to air out his failures, and it made for a really compelling, funny episode to record. He tells so many stories of improv, romantic, and work-related failures that, if nothing else, this will be a fun ep to commiserate with (or make you feel better about your own, less awkward failings?).

Fellow Chicago podcast host Mark Colomb comes over to talk shop on podcasting in the Chicago comedy community. Like all of my guests, he is far more experienced and insightful on the topic than I am, but Mark specifically covers what he has put into and gotten out of being a podcast host.

The ever-hilarious Jeff Murdoch comes by MBSing to talk about not only the music he loved while he was in high school but also the universal idea of music and things everyone liked when we were in high school in order to seem "cool."

Even though Shelby considers herself the kind of nerd who is "so into things people are embarrassed for you," she chose a very traditionally cool, rebellious passion to talk to me about, tattoos.  Shelby has 6 (or more if you start counting them individually instead of grouping), and they all mean a great deal to her.

Independent filmmaker Chris White's request to be on the show prompted a need for the first call-in MBSing, and the results made for one of my favorite episodes! Chris shared his top five power ballads in film with me, and we got off on a ton of other film (and reminiscent) tangents.

Scott Braidman is an amazing performer and artist, and he shared his love of another amazing performer and artist (and director and producer and visionary...) with me in this excellent episode.  

Yup.  Clayton chose to talk about sex.  And it wasn't as terrible and uncomfortable as I thought it might have been!  It was actually quite the interesting, personal, and honest conversation.
