By James Long and Marcus Youssef. Some tougher topics and deeper jabs prompt James to decide it’s time to debate his dad.

December 22, 2020 ‘That’s so 2020’ showcase + Behind The Scenes
The longest, shortest, weirdest, most surreal year in our recent history is about to come to an end and we wanted to celebrate. PlayME’s special 2020 episode features five shows that we feel speak to this unique moment in time. Plays, mostly recorded remotely during the age of physical distancing, that have inspired, moved and transported us during this turbulent time. Plus, we pull back the curtain to share how we pulled this off working from home (ft. eavesdropping spouses and minor earthquakes).

October 21, 2020 Horror Highlights (Halloween Special)
Now that the nights are longer, we find ourselves at the time of year when we’re most willing to give into our fears and visit the darkest places of our imagination. PlayME's special Horror Highlights episode features some of the most haunting shows we've featured on our podcast. We have a Pandora's box full of horrors and thrillers that we wanted to resurrect in time for Halloween — because listening to scary stories makes us feel a little less alone with our fears. (Warning: this episode contains strong language and graphic imagery.)
