This week on Yes But Why, we talk to Chicago-based actor, arts educator and casting director, Nik Whitcomb.

Nik Whitcomb is a nimble theatrical Renaissance man. Nik has had a varied and successful career in entertainment, working as an actor, a director, an arts educator, a podcast host, an arts administrator, an online content creator and a casting director. Recently Nik was recognized for his hard work in the world of entertainment when he was named a "Theatre Worker You Should Know" by American Theatre Magazine. Nik is also the creator and host of the new online multi-platform talk show "THE COME UP with Nik Whitcomb."

In our conversation, Nik shares stories of growing up doing theater in Omaha at the Rose Theater. Nik tells me about his experiences working at theaters in Minneapolis and Chicago and the differences in his experiences in either city.

We talk about covid’s effect on the theater/film scene in Chicago. We have a couple of hilarious rabbit hole discussions, one of which is about JFK and harkens back to Nik’s 8th grade government class. It. Gets. Weird.

Nik and I talk about our theories on teaching actors how to create space and how to evoke emotion. Nik provides some really important advice on how to pick gigs and make connections; and he gives great insight on auditioning.

Support Nik Whitcomb by listening to his podcast, "THE COME UP with Nik Whitcomb." Also, check out the upcoming Playbill Virtual Play Festival and look out for Nik’s show, OUR TIME, a 10-min adaptation of OUR TOWN made specifically for the digital space.

You can also book Nik to be your acting coach or website designer. He can also prepare you for an upcoming audition. He knows everything about everything! Book Nik Whitcomb now!

In this episode of the Talking Sound Podcast host Christopher Jordan is joined by Dominic Lavoie, the Maine musical artist and visionary behind the new digital happening that is the album Wave with a Broken Arm featuring the single and video Skeletons at the Feast.

Imagine you are in a soothing swarm of sonic psychedelic groove that could only be experienced through the ever present vibration of music… this is the sound that greats you upon your entrance to the Church of The Crystal Light. Beginning with a reel of analog tape and a bunch of notes in his head Dominic began a journey two years ago that has now culminated in the creation of not only a fantastic album, but a full blown conceptualized video spectacular to be premiered Halloween night on his website.

How was one artist able to rally together not only the musical talent, but the director, budget and infrastructure to accomplish this near herculean feat on his own dime? What challenges came forth as Dominic trod into new grounds of not only production but promotion as well?

In this episode of the Dudes n beer podcast host Christopher Jordan welcomes author and alien contactee Erin Montgomery to the program to discuss not only her new book Dirty Little Secret: confessions of an Alien Contactee but what a life of contact with beings not of this Earth has been like? What brought her to tell her story to the world as well as the hidden truths she has recovered through her exploration of these experiences.

Some experiences in life can leave an impression that effect a person on such a deep level that they are forever changed. Some people have these life changing experiences over and over again. And sometimes these experiences cause problems in their lives like difficulty sleeping, feelings of panic, seemingly irrational fears, and even believing they may be going crazy. Erin Montgomery is such a person, and with her training in the counseling field, has been able to unravel some of the mysteries in her own life that have contributed to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Risking her career and job, friendships, and family relationships, Erin explores her past as an alien contactee, her abduction memories, and how this phenomenon has brought her to understand her place in this world and others.
