Deep Night with Dale

Dale turns to day drinking to make it through another year at the NYC Podfest. This live episode features Dale in conversation with comedy superstars Max Silvestri, Akilah Hughes, Joel Kim Booster, and Jo Firestone. Around a small table in a basement on a wintry Saturday afternoon in Chinatown, the group discusses weekly time capsules, Scott Bakula's enduring influence, thinning hair tutorials, and the lessons of H.P. Lovecraft. Music by Steve O'Reilly. Generous pour by the lady bartender upstairs.

Please visit all of Dale's guests various websites to get more information on what they're doing. It was an absolute joy to have them on this program. And since the show got cut short a wee bit do to powers beyond his control, Dale has reached out to all of them in order to have more in-depth conversations on future episodes. Thanks to the entire NYC Podfest team and Fontana's Bar for having Dale back.

Dale throws back a whiskey or two in this conversation with singer/songwriter Elle King. From their booth in a mostly empty bar in Bushwick, Dale and Elle talk about this particular moment in her career and how she's developed her signature sound. The two entertainers swap stories about making sweet music on the banjo, visiting haunted honky-tonks in Kentucky, breaking hearts, and what it was like growing up backstage at SNL.

Be sure and pick up a copy of Elle King's new album Love Stuff, available for pre-order now on itunes. For tour info, and more about Elle's previous recordings, visit elleking.com.

Dale wizards his way into a fantastic conversation with the captivating New York-based singer, performer, and composer, Grace McLean. Dale talks to Grace about ill-conceived live television musicals, finding the pocket, looping your voice, acting one's age, and what it takes to make it in the burgeoning world of Harry Potter-themed musical groups.

It's not often Dale is genuinely surprised by something, but such was the case during this episode when Grace introduced him to the genre of Wizard Rock. Dale's hooked on the whole enterprise, and as a bonus we've included Snape Seeker, a track from Grace's amazing WROCK band, Lily & James. To find out more about that effort visit them online via http://lilyandjames.bandcamp.com/. For more on Grace's many performances, her solo music, and her work with the band Grace McLean and Them Apples visit Grace's website http://gracemclean.com/.

The next Dale Radio Live is part of NYC Podfest 2015, Saturday January 10th at 1pm at Fontana's on the Lower East Side. Tickets are just $5 and Dale's guests will be Max Silvestri, Akilah Hughes, Joel Kim Booster, and Jo Firestone. An amazing lineup and a great way to kick off Day 2 of the Fest! Get tickets here.

Dale remembers what it's like to dream big in this latest episode as he talks with director, comedian, and writer Jorja Hudson. Like Dale, Jorja moved to New York with nothing but a toothbrush and a sense of humor. Unlike Dale, she had marketable skills and an actual talent for making things funny on film. Jorja quickly got involved with Upright Citizens Brigade and soon founded an online comedy project, The Low Budget Sketch Show. She spoke with Dale about the project, her love for American television, the strength of an ensemble, the dreariness of San Jose, and ways to insert UFOs into stock footage of our National Parks.

The Low Budget Sketch Show debuts a new season in early 2015, but for now catch up on past episodes via their YouTube Channel or on their website http://lowbudgetsketchshow.com/.

Behind the scenes fun facts: The tea Dale sipped during this episode was delicious. The neighbor dog might be a ghost. Dale did not mean to imply Reggie Watts has a sex disease. And yes, that Taylor Swift song was running on repeat in Dale's head during the entire interview. WELCOME TO NEW YORK!
