Artwork for Original Understudies

This improvised podcast is intended to be the spiritual successor of Alchemy This. While the lives of the core cast of that show got a bit to busy to commit to the weekly show, this show has a rotating cast of improvisers. If you were a fan of Alchemy This, you will hear many familiar voices. At the same time, the improvisers you meet along the way will capture your hearts as they make you laugh.

  • Sorry I’m late!

    I’m such an idiot. I should have known about this podcast. If only I’d been paying better attention! I’ve listened to Alchemy This over and over but somehow I missed the announcement in the AT finale until I recently relistened to it. There it was, James clearly talking about continuing the legacy with Original Understudies. Well, after a short stunned moment of disbelief I jumped upon that bad boy and rode off into the sunset. I absolutely love every moment! Thank you all for all your creations... more

  • Sorry I’m late!

    I’m such an idiot. I should have known about this podcast. I’ve listened to Alchemy This over and over. But somehow I hadn’t heard James announce this show in the AT finale before. Until a few days ago when I relistened to the finale and there it was! James clearly talking about continuing the legacy with Original Understudies. Well, after a short stunned moment of disbelief, I looked and I found it. Such a bitter sweet moment. Bitter on myself for completely missing this vital information the f... more

  • Longtime fan!

    I don’t usually review… anything, really, but I thought I would show my support to Heaney & the gang, since he asked so nicely! I’ve been a huge fan of improv podcasts since I first found Spontaneanation way back when… Then, when that ended, I jumped onto Alchemy This, which eventually found a place in my heart. Then when THAT ended I found this spiritual sequel, and while I wasn’t a huge fan at first, I feel that you have really found your own voice and style, and I’m proud to say you have earn... more

  • A podcast that you should definitely listen to on Apple and not Amazon

    I bought an iPhone simply to leave this review (8 refurbished so don’t get to excited), because of how great it is to have a continuous source of laughter like this show, the name of which escapes me. So glad to see a more balanced m/f ratio than on alchemy this, the podcast that this is the refurbished version of.

  • getting better all the time…

    Like so many I mourned the shutting down of Alchemy This but YAY! for James Heaney and the entire Original Understudies crew. Nice mix of regulars developing! They are getting better by the week with their own format, just as likely as AT to cause belly laughs and higher dry cleaner bills due to snorting coffee or booze through nose while listening. Be warned.
