WORLD GONE GOOD

Rebecca OBrien took the bus to and from her cancer treatments and did the most logical next thing: She wrote a show about it, 'Getting There,' performed it in the Hollywood Fringe Festival, and won the top award for Best One Person Show. And that's how we say a big F U to cancer, people. Rebecca shares her journey - literally, it was a journey - and how it changed her perspective on the world and the fellow humans inhabiting it with her. She's equal parts hilarious and introspective and her story is what this show is all about: Finding the light in the darkness to prove there is good.

Who's ready for a good party? Join us as we celebrate our 3 year anniversary! This special show features a look back at some of our fave good moments, a look forward at our good upcoming guests for Season 4, and a good story that literally happened next door featuring Steve's 91 year old next door neighbor and her daughter.

Faith Salie is our most visited good guest and we love having her. A portion of this show originally aired in Ep #61 - our 1 Year Anniversary Show. But we felt like you needed to hear the full, unedited conversation, recorded over two years ago. Prepare for a TALF update, the importance of voting, a discussion of what Steve is wearing, Nancy Pelosi impressions by Faith's daughter, and the turning of tables as Faith commandeers the mic away from Steve and puts him in the good hot seat. Our 3rd anniversary is fast approaching and we thought it would be fun to present you with the original, unfiltered recordings of some of our favorite guests. Warning: If you're offended by anything said in this episode, blame Faith.

Crystal Carson originally joined us way back for Episode #15, our very first ever Holidays Gone Good. In that episode, you got to hear a portion of her magical holiday story. Now you get to hear the whole thing completely unedited. As we approach our 3rd anniversary, we thought it'd be fun to dive back in and share some of the stories that got left on the cutting room floor. Crystal originally told this story to host Steve Silverman over 30 years ago and it stuck with him. So let's all get our jingle on a lil' early, yes? This is Crystal Carson's full holiday gone good story.

Wicked's Wendy Worthington originally joined us for Episode #32, Musicals Gone Good. But what you hear in that episode is only a small portion of our full recorded conversation. And since we're headed toward our 3rd anniversary and kick off of Season 4, we thought we'd feature some of our favorite good guests and their complete unedited and uninterrupted recordings. We're starting with Wendy, who was a cast member of the Broadway touring company of the Wizard Of Oz themed musical, Wicked. Steve and Wendy first met in a theatre company back in the '90s and have shared a friendship ever since so this one is a real fun one as they catch up and talk all things musicals (complete with umms and ya knows and likes not removed).

Jessi Keenan is proving one person can make a difference with her organization the Orange Cooler Project. This community-based project focuses on communication as much as doing good. Jessi speaks directly with people presently in between homes who live on the street in her neighborhood. She finds out what they need, tries her best to work with city hall, and encourages everyone to work together. And it all started with one orange cooler filled with ice water on a hot day. We also discuss her voice-over work and Steve's inclination to fight with fellow swimmers at the pool in my gym. Trust us, it all ties together into something pretty damn good.

Pip Lilly's story could be a musical but he's already been starring in a musical so let's focus on that good part, shall we? For The Love of a Glove was featured back on our Musicals Gone Good episode and that's the same show Pip took the stage for as Jackson 5 patriarch, Joe Jackson. But there's more to his story including a Covid lockdown and a battle with stage 3 cancer - how's that for a twist you didn't see coming? This is one person's journey to finding himself, embracing his truth, and yeah, throw in a couple of puppets and Michael Jackson and we are right back to where we started, kids. Enjoy the show...
