Comedy: In Which Elizabeth McIrvin Takes Over The Hollywood Fishbowl

We hand the reins over to improvisor, producer, podcaster and comedian Elizabeth McIrvin, host of the much-loved podcast Mystery On The Radio Waves.

Elizabeth takes over The Hollywood Fishbowl and introduces the strangest game of 2 Truths And A Lie ever played. After that, we turn to The Fishbowl and pull questions from @whostheross (who’s your first celebrity crush), @ms.spentyouth (how do you seduce), our guest herself (what’s your go-to shower song) and a very special final appearance of “Baby Writers” from Hilliard Guess. This is the last time that question will appear on the program. As always, thank you for listening!

We sat down with Elizabeth McIrvin, improvisational comedian and host of Mystery On The Radio Waves, to talk about her arrival in LA, producing podcasts and, because we’re in LA, weed. Her show, Mystery In The Radio waves is a diptych podcast (not unlike this one) with half being the performance of an old radio play and half being an improv deconstruction of that play. If you’d like to hear what that sounds like, bust on over and listen to her show! If you want to listen to her program without getting too disoriented, listen to the episode that I was on. As always, thanks for listening... to everything!

Indie Musicians: Ashley Lowry Knows The Truth About Pawns

Singer/Songwriter Ashley Lowry doesn’t just know the truth about pawns, she shares it with us, but not before opening up about her life, which goes from LA to Nashville and back, her music and how she contends with the vulnerability inherent to being an artist.

Ashley Lowry has been in the music game for quite some time. She started her journey with The Lowry Sisters, playing guitar and providing backup vocals. Ashley didn’t stop making music after the trio split. In fact, she did just the opposite and produced a full album independently and is on the cusp of releasing it single-by-single as Solar Yellow Human. Not only does Ashley tell the whole story on this week’s episode but she also performs two songs off of the upcoming album. There’s a lot to sink your teeth into on this episode. Enjoy!

Indie Musicians: Mimi Page Is Quiet In A Loud Way

Mimi Page’s story doesn’t start with dreamy, ambient mood music. It starts with Broadway. And lots of travel. Always an open book, Mimi shares her wisdom and insight into the independent music scene with us as she tells the story of how she went from watching her mother perform on stage nightly to building her own career in ethereal electronica.

Mimi Page’s story starts on Broadway, but not in the way that you’d think. She began her musical journey as a child traveling with her mother who was a Broadway performer and watching from backstage. It was when she first heard Enya and Tori Amos that Mimi felt like she had found a tone and timbre that spoke to her and a whole new world of sonic possibilities opened up to her. From there, it was just a matter of learning how to make the sounds that were in her head and in her heart. Of course, there’s more to it than that. And, the only way to learn that ‘more’ is to listen!

Indie Musicians: Katie Anne Mitchell Has Built-In Protection From Hubris

Katie Anne Mitchell writes songs and she writes them well. She also writes stories and tells them well. But, the alchemy happens when she’s mixing the two, which is exactly what happens in this episode.

That moment of pure joy when you realize that you've signed a release to be on a podcast! There's truly nothing like it.

That moment of pure joy when you realize that you've signed a release to be on a podcast! There's truly nothing like it.

A proudly humble product of “the worst town in America”, Katie Anne Mitchell is chasing down her place in the world of Storytellers/Singers/Songwriters (a career they don’t usually mention at junior high job fairs). Her album is titled The Many Lives Of Mockingbird and one could be forgiven for thinking it’s autobiographical. Katie herself has gone through a fair number of transformations herself from the early days on the debate team. But, then, why would we tell/sing/write her story here when she does it so marvellously in the interview.
