Today we present a very special look back at the early days of Totally Rad, when it was a LIVE show at UCB Los Angeles, when we did a special 4/20 Anti-Tobacco Show!

Comedian Will Hines (@williebhines) joined 16-year-old host Alyssa (@alyssa_sabo) and 37-year-old sidekick Ben (@bencassil) in 1996 to learn about why smoking the drug tobacco is actually BAD! With special guest Lindsey McDowell (@LiNzee_)! And of course the Totally Rad crew: bandleader Janine Hogan (j9_Hogan), 14-year-old intern Miranda Rae Hart (@mirandaheartsyou) professional audience member July Diaz (@julydiaz), musician Thayer Frechette (@thayerfrechette)!

Check out Will Hines’s books: How To Be The Greatest Improviser on Earth, and Pirate, Robot, Ninja and his online improv school https://www.wgimprovschool.com!
