Thirteen colonies began this fair nation and thirteen episodes will begin this fair podcast. In our Season One Finale Dane McDonald (@TheDaneMcDonald) of the Chasing Chalamet podcast (@ChalametChasing) joins us to talk about Indiana in all its splendor. Then Jonah Cooper (@jonahformayor) and Laura Marsh (@LauraHarshMarsh) come into the studio and really blow the roof of the place improvisational comedy wise.

Thank you to producer Logan Dean (@loganomics101) and editor Will Biby (@WillBiby) for a fantastic first season. And a special thank you to all of you, yes you reading this. A fun show is surprisingly hard to make and your support means the world. See you in Season 2: same Overstated time, same Overstated place!

Fun doesn't just happen in a galaxy far far away, but right here on our burning Earth. Making this life a little more palatable is our guest Courtney Fontaine (cdfontaine). We're talkin' Maryland. We're talkin' jousting. We're talkin', what else, crab cakes! Then Rohan T. Sinha (@brohan_solo_) and Mike Gospel (@MikeGospel) are welcomed into the studio for funnies.

If you thought this episode would be the Rogue One out you were mistaken, it's gold as always. Artist extraordinaire Jessica Deahl (@jbdeahl) comes into the studio to talk about Wyoming, cows, and everything in between. And there's a lot in between. Then Jack Wright (@JackDdub123), Caleb Woodley (@callmecable) and Chris Blake of pop-punk / teen angst band @ChurchBassment stake their claim as one of the funniest 11 improv sets we've had so far.

Out of all our episodes so far this is the Rogue One where our host has also lived in the state in question. That state? Arizona. The guest? The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's own Greg Iwinski (@garyJackson). We talk about aliens, Alice Cooperstown, and wolves in the backyard. Then Christopher Woolsey (@UrfWoolsey), Erik Morrison (@gifrychaucer) and Carlos Luna (@CarlosCrits) hop in the improv saddle and ride it to funny town.

There isn't a national rep for New Hampshire tourism but someone who could Rise of Skywalker to the occasion is our guest for Episode 9 Meg Kennedy (@NHmegk). We talk recycling, having only a four classes a day (!), and naturally nature. Then improv air buds Richie Owens (@iamrichieowens), Courtney Crary (@CraryCourtney) and Marie Maloney (@marie_maloney) join us for improv air fun!

It's episode 8 and in terms of our music it's the first and last JEDI (Jacob Eugene Does It). That's right we're joined by Jacob Eugene Horn (@JayYouGee) who's band Jacob Horn Trio provides our theme and inside music. We talk Wisconsin, Willem Dafoe, and cryptids. Then improviser extraordinaires Meg Kennedy (@NHmegK), Surena Marie (@SurenaXMarie), and Pat O'Rourke (@patlikestotweet) mix it up with some make it ups.

Pranks Paul (@roguetldr) is a podcast force to be reckoned with. In episode seven this Force Awakens good times and discussions about growing up in North Carolina. This episode is full of giggles, biscuit talk, and learn what Odyssey of the Mind is. Then super great improv pals Meg Kennedy (@NHmegk), Ali Stark, and Surena Marie (@SurenaXMarie) join us for you guessed it IMPROV!

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood. We prefer to get in a New York State of mind with our guest Audrey Schiffhauer (@audgepaudge6)! We chat about The Empire State but primarily Loganberry. Then there's a Return of the J.E.D.I. (Just Earnestly Dope Improvisers) for some make-em ups with Katie Johnston-Smith (@GenericBrunette), Rich Camillucci (@RichCami), and Eleni Sauvageau (@Electriceleni)!

It's Episode Five! Bobby Evers, of the CHIRP Radio Empire, Strikes Back in this perhaps our nicest release yet. We chat about Iowa, snacks, and the paragon of American ideals, county fairs! Then fantastic pals Rich Camillucci (@RichCami), Eleni Sauvageau (@Electriceleni) and Audrey Schiffhauer
(@audgepaudge6) join us for improv that needs to be heard to be heard!

Episode Four arrives bringing A New Hope for fun and funnies. The Musical Man Podcast's (@musicalmanpod) own Jon Pernisek joins us to talk about Kentucky, Kentucky culinary delights, and believe it or not Kentucky's love of Gallagher. Then Justine Krueger (@justineface), Taylor B. Hill (@TBH_parkrat), and Jen Ducharme (@hyperslacks) make up some make-em-ups in our longest episode to date!
