Busted Mouth

We're getting back in the swing of things. Basilo riffs on discovering exactly which kind of a-hole you are, and the members of the defunct Chicago Slam Works Ensemble Theatre stop by via Zoom.

This episode is brought to you by Hope, paid for by the Committee to Make America Grape Again.

Basilo is back in the studio and back on his bulls#*! to kick off Season 3 officially! The fascinating Davide Grody (writer, performer, musician) joins us all the way from Paris in an interview taped back in May of 2020 before everything went full nanners. Music, feelings, thoughts on sticking it to the man, AND an interview? That's some peak Busted Mouth, right there. Let's party.  

The madness hath descended as Season 3 creeps upon us and we're collectively too bored to notice. Fortunately, our buddy Tom Budday stops by to talk about education, empathy, and flexing on young poets. 

Season 3 begins in quarantine! This sh** is the proverbial nanners but we're back, albeit remotely. Joe Hernandez-Kolski (HBO, Netflix, Your Heart) calls in to start the engines on this new normal. We talk about what we're doing to get by, new projects we've discovered, and Joe shares some awesome stories about his decades-long career.

We take a bit of a deep dive into empathy. Storyteller, trash mouth, and new mom Stephanie Douglass stops by the studio (with a baby) to talk about producing a storytelling show, her time in Israel and Lebanon, and you know, like, kids and stuff.

This is a fun one. Elizabeth Gomez (writer, performer, founder of Windy City Rollers) stops by the studio to talk about Roller Derby, digging through Dad's records, and embarrassing tales of personal grooming. 

Spring is creeping upon us like a single dude 8 minutes before last call. Alyssa Thordarson (Chicago Med, Empire, Your Dreams) stops by to talk inside baseball about a career in television, odd experiences in commercials, and her love of the Rolling Stones.

Adrienne Gunn (Heaux, Chicago Magazine) stops by the studio the friends get into  embarrassing childhood music, show production, and Adrienne's often hilarious exploits writing an "experience" column. This is a fun one.

Correspondence is in the air. Baz writes to some high school students about sticking it to the man. Nick Fox calls in from a catamaran. it's feelings and friendship, man.

Baz discovers his own personal Christmas. Writer & actor Joseph Ramski stops by and the fellas talk about his new play, growing personally and musically, and a whole lot of Star Wars.
