For this episode, The Gateway is going to the birds with a couple of guests, Josh Zagoren and Chad the bird. Josh was Born in New Jersey, raised in Iowa, schooled in Boston (hit up LA for a bit but missed the cold) and settled in Chicago, Josh is a commercial voice actor, TV character actor (did all the Chicago shows, you've seen him, he's THAT guy), writer/combatant for Write Club Chicago and stage actor who's worked with Steppenwolf, Interrobang, Factory Theater, Babes with Blades and Second City Chicago (his newest show is THE MARK OF KANE at CityLit and it's all about the creation of BATMAN so check that out!) and moonlights as the writer/performer of Chad the Bird at the Paper Machete every Saturday at the Green Mill Lounge Chicago 3pm CDT (FREE!). He's also down to talk about horror movies and cooking any time.

Chad the Bird - America's premiere talking bird (yeah I mean Big Bird but they're for kids), he debuted in the porn-themed sketch show SOFT CORN PORN back in 2006 before getting hired on as the Avian Op-Ed columnist for the Paper Machete at the Green Mill Lounge in Chicago where he has perched since 2010. You can find him ranting and raving on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube and on his weekly Chad the Birdcast available on itunes, spotify and stitcher. He also wrote an article for the Chicago Reader on where to find the best snacks on National Weed Day.
