This week I am joined by the great Finlay Balfour. I am extremely lucky that Finlay decided to audition for American Idiot because it has only been a pleasure getting to know him this semester. While we plug "American Idiot" quite a bit on the pod, we also talk about everything from PC gaming to why I quit the 7th Grade soccer team. It's a good one that you won't want to miss. 

Today we have the world's newest Edward Bloom, Ben Dow. Here promoting IU Mainstage's second show of the season, Big Fish, Ben and I get to chat about everything under the sun. If you like big band music, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Sondheim, you'll love this episode. 

In honor of Fat Pockets' performance kicking off Homecoming this weekend, Shai Warfield-Cross joins us for this week's pod. You've seen her in shows like Vinegar Tom, Barbeque and of course killing it at the Bluebird with the band. Shai is one of the most well-rounded people that I know here in Bloomington and in this episode we dive into what got her there. 

In this week's installment, Josh sits down with our most energetic guest to date. That guest is Louisville native, Henry Miller. In the episode, we reminisce about our time at IU and pontificate on our hopes for the future. All over a glass of a classic rum and coke. 

Musical theatre trivia, Stella Adler and a deep dissection of the new "Cats" trailer. What more do you need? Join Sam Sanderson and I as we chat about the many discoveries that he has made in his time here at IU. 

Hello Friends! This week Casey Kwon, our first international student, brings a fresh perspective to the podcast. We get to unpack how she made the decision to come stateside for education and the opportunities that it has presented her.

Hello Friends! On this weeks episode we have the renaissance man of Bloomington, Taylor Ward. We get into everything from our dabbling in film to an initial expose on a story Taylor's had in the making. Don't miss out on this one! 

Hello Friends!

We're back!!! After a short little break Bloomington Spirits has an episode to kick off the new semester. On this pod we have an extremely special guest, Katie Swaney. Katie is a fellow senior here at IU and is also pursuing a BFA degree in musical theatre. Join us as we discuss our fears and excitement going into our final year and so much more. 

On this week's pod, Josh is joined by recent IU Alum Caleb Curtis. In this episode Caleb explains his process, what types of stories he is passionate about and what he has learned from his many experiences working in educational environments. All while sipping on a can of his favorite beer, Bud Light. Like the title suggests, a midwestern drink for a midwestern boy.
