Dear Nana: Advice From An Idiot

Marcia Belsky joins Nana this week for an intimate episode of what it's like to be an artist in NYC and working to find the balance of in it all. Marcia hosts a monthly show at Union Hall called Stevie with Drew Anderson and Sam Taggart and has created and co-wrote the musical parody "Handmaid's Tale: The Musical" as well as "Fiddler on the Rooftop Bar." Marcia also has a podcast with our good friend Rae Sanni called "Misandry with Marcia and Rae" and created the Instagram account @Headlesswomenofhollywood AND is in a band called @Freethemind Believe it or not Marcia does sleep, Irene knows this because they used to live together.

Helena joins Nana this week and it's a walk down memory lane because they've known each other for almost 20 years! I always feel silly writing these because, is anyone really reading as they listen? I love you guys. Thank you for listening. <3 Xoxo

Shane Torres joins Nana this week to discuss Irene's "podcast voice" crushes, and Shane basically takes over the podcast and starts asking Nana very personal questions. 

My apologies for the delay with how late I am in uploading this episode, I fell asleep Sunday night, hit the snooze by accident Monday morning and while technically it's 3:00 am on Tuesday it's still Monday for me but I still feel bad. Like I'm late for picking up my kids from school. My apologies little ones, Nana loves you. 

Kippy Bonus Ep! WE originally recorded two weeks ago in the park but the Zoom6 recorder died halfway through our conversation and the file was lost. This recording is the second part of that conversation, once I bought new batteries and went to the bathroom and we tried to pick up where we left off. Kevin "Kippy" Ryan is always a delight.

Kevin Ryan, affectionately known as "Kippy" returns to the podcast. The original intention was to pick up where we had left off and to see how far we've come and I think we touched on it a little but also, we recorded in Bryant Park and there was a full concert going on behind us.

Nathan Macintosh joins Irene on this episode of Dear Nana: Advice From An Idiot. My apologies for the delay on this episode! This week was a bit busier normal and now I'm uploading my Monday morning podcast at 2:48 am on a Wednesday which makes it Thursday, I'm perfectly aware. 

Nathan is a dear friend, we've known each other for five years and he's one of the funniest people I've ever met. Nathan has performed on Conan, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and is passed and performs regularly at world famous, the Comedy Cellar. He's also the proud father of Baby Dog, chihuahua dog extraordinaire.

Pat Burtscher joins Irene on this episode of Dear Nana: Advice From An Idiot. I'm still not sure if people read these so it feels silly to continue in the third person but here we are: Pat covers his early life and how his older brother got him to eventually try stand-up comedy as well as nuggets of advice that he's held on to along the way. This episode may start off slow but within 20 minutes Pat and Irene are cooking with gas.

I'm still not sure if anyone reads these but! Liz Heather was the first person to read my screenplay and was so nice and tender and wonderful about it, I'll never forget it. She's also one of the best hangs and I love our standing monthly dates. She selflessly indulges me because I don't have a boyfriend so together we check out cute (mostly Mexican) places to eat in the city. Maybe the next time she's on we'll rate our favorites. Lady Liz is what I call her, but you can call her Liz Heather.

Does anyone even read these? It's always so tough for me to write them? Does it really help the "search" ???
