Westley Crunch talks about the Epicast Network and how we can further your podcasting career now!

Welcome to Teller Island Radio. Travel down the portal and join us on a multifaceted adventure. In this episode, we explore a multitude of moments eventually being introduced to Freddy Lancaster, an accountant who finds himself in a peculiar situation.

The inspiration for the Midge Crickett song "This Podcast Sucks"!!! Two podcasts become one as guest host Abby Denton chats with Pittsburgh's greatest chanteuse Midge Crickett and Ian shares a wavelength with Epicast fam, Sikes. We touch on performative anxiety, worms, art as therapy and maintaining confidence. Spolier Alert: There was never a husband sitting there!!!

Runnin' bits and chompin' crabcakes, Michael Quigley and Jenna Sivak (and guest host Abby Denton!) create a touching, vulnerable environment as they touch on openness, the nature of trust and the muse of inspiration when creating for children. They don't touch children.

With this episode, the show is finally put on a long leash. Sean Kendle ("In Poor Taste" podcast), magician Vince Charming and Epicast's own Nick Miller try our best to alienate every listener, calling out everyone from anarchists to malaria carriers. It's gonna be a mixture, it's gonna be dirty. How long can you last?

What a discussion! The development of art and artists and the self-assessment that ensues! Once we finally define a facet of art as altruistic communication, we switch to kitties. And as always, Ian ends up taking pot shots at John Ruskin.
