This week, Yes But Why Podcast talks to San Francisco-based performer and producer, Diana Brown.

Diana Brown is a performer who appears in scripted as well as improvisational theatre. She is a teaching artist as well as the Director of Community at Leela Improv Theater Company. Diana is also a producer with Southern Railroad Theatre Company. In her spare time, Diana is also a voice actor, a playwright, a communications consultant, and an acting coach.

In this conversation, Diana tells me about how she got started in improv in San Francisco in the late 80s and she paints the picture of the scene at that time.

Diana and I talk about our love of teaching. We discuss the magic of being a person’s first improv teacher. Diana tells me about her workshop “Improv Triage” that she and Dan Wilson teach when they tour festivals. “Improv Triage” is a treatment lab for your improv challenges. They enjoy digging deep to help improvisers overcome their hangups.

We chat about the work that goes into maintaining a good improv duo relationship. Diana shares her love for her improv partner, Dan Wilson and the effortless way they work together. Diana and Dan perform together with their nationally touring improv comedy troupe, Bingewatch. Bingewatch takes the shows you love and combines them to create an improvised pilot episode of a new show. (Love "The Good Place" and "Sesame Street"? You'll love "The Fuzzy Place.") Bingewatch recently sold out their show at San Francisco Sketchfest 2020.

You can support Diana Brown by watching her troupe, Bingewatch perform! In their upcoming schedule, Bingewatch will appear at the Acme Comedy Theater in North Hollywood as guests of Rollin' in Riches before heading to the 2020 Alaska State Improv Festival. There, in Alaska, Dan and Diana will also be offering their workshop, "Improv Triage" so festivalgoers, take note!

Talking Sound S6 Ep01: From Hippie Jam Bands to Night Ranger with Keyboardist Eric Levy

In this episode of the Talking Sound Podcast host Christopher Jordan welcomes Eric Levy to show to talk about a life filled with music as well as his journey from playing keyboards and touring the festival circuit with hippie jam band Garage Majal to being the keyboardist and backup vocalist for the ever popular band Night Ranger and playing for millions of people every year!

Beginning at a young age Eric Levy’s life was filled with music. His father, a saxophone player by trade, made sure that a young Eric had all the musical influences and support he would need to grow and foster a love for the art. But it was when Eric hit high school that his aspiration took flight to stage and his eyes turned to the call of rock and roll. Beginning with a foot in the door through his father, Eric was off and running playing Elvis on one of the more popular bands in his hometown. This began his love of connection with the live audience and his career as a live musician, making his way to California and beginning his musical journey to stardom.

Tune in and find out how Eric hooked up with the popular touring band Garage Mahal. Hear how a chance meeting and a single moment of decision led him down the road of playing keyboards for one of the greatest ballad bands ever…Night Ranger. All this and more in this episode of the Talking Sound podcast with special guest Eric Levy.

My annual Grammy rant. Why does it matter? Because propaganda isn’t just isolated to the news media. It dominates all American media. And music is far more powerful at carrying that message than all the rest of media combined. And an interview with a local Austin musical wizard.
