We are so excited to share this week's episode! It's so nerdy, we love it! Join us as we talk to the super nice and funny Norm Hiscock! We learned so very much about everything from his time with Greg Daniels (on kind of everything... Kids in the Hall, SNL, King of the Hill) to all the different kinds of producers there are! We truly learned so much about the behind the scenes creation of our favorite show and we are forever grateful! Seriously, so much to talk about and learn. Just another reminder that this is a real job that deserves real wages. :)

Also, we learn some information about Mark and it was WAY less scandalous than I care to admit. LOL. 

Thank you so much Norm!!!!!!!

Is there psychology to these questions? Who cares. This week I finish out the 36 Questions To Fall In Love, by myself, to myself, and all of the above. I actually had a great time answering these and think it would be so great if you answered them with your friends, family and strangers. Make sure you're taking care of yourselves as best as possible friends and Happy freakin' November!

PS Don't forget to rate and review us and pray for the strike to be over! In all seriousness, thank you to the negotiating team. This is incredibly difficult work and we applaud you so much.

They call me Han because I'm solo. Omg just kidding. I'm off the rails because it's just me today!!! I talk about the SAG strike, how SNL can be on air, how confused I am, and answer a few questions from the love quiz that may seem pitiful but kind of funny and isn't that just my brand anyway...? Also, I probably share too much but oh well! 

My healing energy goes to everyone. <3

Should we do psychotics and start a podcast in a sauna? Join us as we think about it! This week, friend of the pod, Sean Trainor and I discuss so much about music business/unions and how there should def be more talk/action for them. Plus, we continue the 36 Questions to Fall in Love and learn what the definition of affection means and that saying how you feel is like.... so beyond important, say it to your loved ones, just do it! 

We get deep in this one, but as always, laugh SO much - can't wait for you to listen! PS these questions were THINKERS so I left the silence in so you can think for yourself and also authenticity 😂

PS2. Always remember, there is power in "I don't know" and parents are just people. 🤷‍♀️

We're falling in love this week! (Well, more than we already are...) 
Kris and I (Holly) are answering the questions in the famous NY Times Article - "36 Questions To Fall In Love" because why not?! We talk about how we might die, if there's a Mr. Holly Constant, who we'd have a celeb dinner with and more! Plus, we talk about how awesome Sophie Turner is, we ask if college is worth the $ (see link below for the SAVE plan if you have student loans to not pay interest!), and of course our not-so favorite thing - the strike. GET IT TOGETHER AMPTP!

Please reach out to Kris if you'd like to take voice over classes, want a demo reel, or would like dialect coaching with Logan! Link is below and/or follow her on Instagram!

"Sometimes just making the thing is the thing"
Welcome Mia Topalian to Strike Pod!!!!! Love this deep and fun conversation so much! We're talking about Mia's amazing show in New York and what her experience was like being back, our weird and fun auditions that we've helped each other with and how sometimes the best part of art is the healing that can come when you let your mind wander and focus in. Plus, I loved talking about the inevitable cycle of doom - from "why do we do this again?" to the "oh right, that's why" in songwriting, screen writing, acting and kind of everything. 
Plus, I learn about Camp Michigania and I'm inspired. Thank you my sweet and wise friend, Mia, I had the best time getting deep and talking large. <3

Welcome back everyone! This week we discuss some BIG news! Congratulations Madi! We also discuss Holly's last few hundred months of fun and hard working musical theater so if you need to skip the first 20ish minutes that's fine haha
It's a long one this time around, so please break it into parts if you need to!

Then we get into Leslie Knope's book about Pawnee and the scandal of potentially not being born in Pawnee?! What?! (It's not where you're born, it's where you're from) ALSO, WHO SNITCHED?!

Then, we hear from some amazing guest stars, Elizabeth Sandy (Alexis Pratchett from Eagleton) and Kenny Stevenson (Jim Kabernick from Pawnee running Joan's show!) PS follow Kenny to see him at his improv shows!!!!!! Woo!

Everybody pants now, pants, pants, pants, pants, pants! (Not prance like the subtitles say) We're back for Part 2 where we get a good ol' fashioned prairie drink off - the Swanson family mash liquor is used to burn warts of the mules omg. Such beautiful imagery always.

Thanks to Danny Vazquez for sending in a voice memo explaining his time on set and improv moments, YAY! Check him out in All Rise on CBS and Hulu and The Rookie on ABC! Follow his Insta here!

Plus, let's just bow down to Paula Pell as we all should. And shouts to hair and makeup for making her look like Ron's mom with the dirt and grime from the farm 😂 

Thanks for supporting! We are taking the month of May off and we hope you have an excellent awakening to your Spring! Talk soon and rest up!
