On this episode we celebrate the birthday of one of our favorite things, NEVADA! We have taken our love of history, comedy, and ridiculousness to a whole new level by providing our dear listeners with our take on the history of this great state in honor of Nevada Day. We could not have put this episode together without additional help from some friends. In this episode you will hear from Anna Allred, a local actor, playwright and children’s theater director who co-wrote and performed with us on “Comstock Lode” and “Bullfrog County Nevada”. Actor, director, and writer Oliver Jones co-wrote and performed with us on “Telegraph TMZ” and “Divorce Ranch Tales”. “Home Means Nevada”, our state song, was written by Bertha Rafetto and performed here by Lily & Xochi. All work other than the music and “Home Means Nevada” is original and written by Alison & Jacob. Music in this episode is from www.purple-planet.net.
