  • Vortex Radio Ep37 - The Lucky Yates Show

    We had so much fun with Lucky Yates last week, we had to have him back on the show. Either that, or he thought we didn't talk about him enough. This week it's ALL ABOUT LUCKY!

    This week, the mother of the three Vortex owners and siblings is our guest on Vortex Radio! Suzanne, Michael, Rebecca and Baby Colin join Mrs. Benoit as she flips through old Vortex photos and reminisces about how it all got started. Because nothing makes for good radio quite like going through a photo album! You’ll even hear about the owners’ first jobs, way before The Vortex was even a thought. This is a good one!

  • Vortex Radio Ep30 - Pam Poovey Gets Sucked In!

    Holy shit-snacks, this is a good episode! This week Amber Nash, the voice of Pam Poovey on Archer, joins us on Vortex Radio. We talk about how she got into improv, giant naked Santas, live action Archer and the upcoming Vortex Musical. This episode is even crazier than Pam on cocaine!

  • Vortex Radio Ep29 - Baby's First Gelato

    Our special guest this week is Paolo Dalla Zorza, owner of Paolo's Gelato. He joins us on the podcast with his girlfriend/marketing manager and interpreter, Elizabeth Hall. Good thing she came along because Paolo's accent is ridiculous. Michael spends the podcast eating at least a gallon of gelato, and co-host Andrew Markle tries gelato for the first time ever while being teased mercilessly by Paolo. This one may give you brain freeze!
