    What genius includes bits with audio clips which cannot be heard on the podcast?! Just dead air and then they talk about it. Do you not understand the concept of a podcast???

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What's Yours Is Actually Mine
Q: What should Rachel do in the situation with her boss's tabs?
Tell a story to gently address the issue or use a slight white lie to diffuse the moment, then discuss the matter privately and suggest avoiding similar incidents in future meetings.
Remarkably Bright Creatures with Olivia Newman and Shelby Van Pelt
Q: How did the project come to Olivia Newman?
Olivia explains producers optioned the book, secured Sally Field, and then sent her the manuscript, at which point she knew Sally would be the perfect fit for the role and that the project could work.
Remarkably Bright Creatures with Olivia Newman and Shelby Van Pelt
Q: Where did the idea for the book come from originally?
Shelby explains she was exploring octopuses online and found a voice in misbehaving octopuses, which inspired the concept and the characters, particularly the main woman at the center of the story.
Playwright Paloma Nozicka
Q: What makes this play unique in Chicago's theatre landscape?
The blend of Steppenwolf's gritty realism with a diverse, largely Latin cast in a smaller, intimate 1700 space creates a distinctive, vibrant energy that's not always available in big downtown productions, and it invites new audiences to engage with contemporary, emotional storytelling.
Playwright Paloma Nozicka
Q: What was it like to step into the lead role in a show you wrote?
It was a mutual decision and a challenge I welcomed. I leaned on a strong director to guide me, and I found that performing in Teatro Vista helped align the language and rhythm of the dialogue with how I hear it, which enriched the performance.
