Stacey Trelfa, Ryan Strunk, Aaron Cook, and Amy Burge (unfortunately Jen Wilson couldn’t join us) of The Pickup Artists explain how they pull of what what might be the most intimidating show description: improvised narrative a cappella musicals.

They talk about learning things from music coaches and improv coaches, filling in each other’s parts, theater acoustics, group mind a key changes.

Matt does his classic section, Fast Pitch, and we try a new segment, Philip’s Corner, in which we discover that this Ryan guy really has his shit together.

Also, we sing a musical about safe mining.
