There Will Be Crossbows episodes

  • There Will Be Crossbows LIVE from the Living Room

    Wow, our first live show in 8 years! We booked the fanciest venue available to us, James's living room, and performed in front of an enraptured audience consisting of three of our family members! It doesn't get grander than that, folks. To top it off, we bring back the legendary "TrivProv" format as a throwback to the historic Bonner Springs improv scene circa 2008. Don't miss this once in a lifetime event!

  • Granulation

    What is improv, if not breaking apart something into little pieces of material? Please, don't reflect on that sentence, it makes less sense the longer you thing about it. The theme is "granulation", and we go from a hostile intern takeover of the sugar factory to a behind-the-scenes look at acclaimed actor Hayden Christenson's award-winning performance as Anakin Skywalker. Enjoy the whole episode in one go or listen to three-second segments once daily over the course of the year.

  • Order

    Order! Order in the podcast! Has one word every implied so much coordination, organization, and control as "order"? No, at least not until we debut our brand new word, "Controorganization" next week. For now, you'll have to make due with this episode filled with virtual reality gone wrong, oligarchic tornados, and chaos in the kitchen. Listen now, and then please alphabetize the other 96 episodes by this afternoon.

  • Gravity

    In a very serious, down to earth episode, the very laws of physics are challenged. An astronaut gets sent to certain death, wacky Isaac Newton comes up with a crazy discovery, and the president finally has to deal with climate change. Enjoy the episode before everything comes crashing down!

    30 min
  • Soup

    Nothing like "Soup" at the beginning of summer! On this episode, an orphanage looks for ways to cut costs, a food truck owner questions his business decisions, and a culinary reality show goes off the rails. Enjoy this one while it's hot!
