The Alex Kraemer Program

Alex talks to Woody Drennan the owner/operator of Unplanned Comedy which includes Unplanned Comedy Pods the podcast collective you're listening to now. They got into some raw and interesting banter. What drives you to be a comedian and is it healthy.

Comfort Level: 7 - That's pretty good.

(10 is Alex being completely comfortable.)

Fuck Yeah, Dinosaurs! has been a band in Pittsburgh for almost a decade. With members knowing each other since high school. They're a punk band that sings solely about dinosaurs. We discuss the many projects that finally led to the band and their process of writing dinosaur songs. Then the episode just goes insane. With beer cans opening, people using the bathroom, and ETC. These guys are a weird/fun group to talk to. Enjoy!

Alex and Kate tackle some personal issues and some political issues. Not so good talking points to not make things really uncomfortable.

Alex welcomes Will Ness, stand-up, sketch and lawyer comedian. Alex is bound to find some good social cues from Will. Will's a listener.

Laurie B long time improviser in Pittsburgh and new resident of Los Angeles, Ca. returned to the Burgh to take part in the anniversary show of her former improv group Well Known Strangers. She took some time to talk to Alex helping out on his ever-evolving quest to be a beloved social animal. I'm just saying it gets uncomfortable a good bit of the time in this episode.

PART 2I've known the dudes from the band Honey since we were all younger dudes. We discuss how they came together as a band in high school, the moment they knew they wanted to commit to being a band, and the recent tour they went on.I also get some music recommendations and we discuss bands and artists we both love. We also discuss the terrible news going on in the world and the artist we love who have contributed to it. Also, we discuss poop, as all artist do haha.You can check out Honeys music on Spotify, I-Tunes, and their Bandcamp site https://abandcalledhoney.bandcamp.com. It's a big episode so we split it into two parts for you. Enjoy!

I first saw Isaac Crow do a stand-up set at the Pittsburgh Comedy Festival 2017. I loved it so much I had to have him on the program. We talked about his days in college studying then working in the theater. We also had a great talk about comedy. I asked him about some stand-up mythos and got his thoughts on the Pittsburgh comedy community in general. He also talked about what makes him really relax. This was such a fun conversation! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Zach Holdren is a man who loves film and a lot of things in pop culture. I know because I ask him about it all the time. Listen as we discuss the film Mother!, Old Hollywood stars, current issues today. I love talking to Zach and I hope you enjoy listening to us talk

Pierce Johnson knows that this conversation will be released way later, but he still wants to talk in the present. We talk about his current job & life situation and how he's working on it. We talk about working a 9-5 job, sitting in rush hour traffic, and how it doesn't appeal to us at all. We also talk about his farming days and his relationships in the farm market community. Fun talk!
