Stephanie Allynne Isn’t Joining Your Group

Stephanie Allynne (One Mississippi, Twin Peaks: The Return, Pistol Shrimps) stops by the podcast to talk about the times in her life she had a gut feeling of revulsion upon encountering tight knit groups and the way it pushed her life in different directions; growing up in Claremont, Buffalo and Temecula; going to a born again high school; meeting comedian (and now her wife) Tig Notaro and feeling drawn to her but being certain she was straight; coming to terms with her sexuality; bringing twins into the world via surrogate; working on the forthcoming series First Ladies starring Tig Notaro and Jennifer Aniston; challenging herself to be a better person; thoughts on Louis CK; hating gloomy weather and so much more. We also answered your questions and did a round of Just Me Or Everyone.

Savory Puddings, Errant Nails, The Rise of Fascism

Everyone on the show is disturbed with the state of the world. After introducing our guests (Renee Colvert and Daniel Van Kirk join us) and talking about unflattering nicknames, ice box cakes, various tri-state areas and a sitcom about Dinosaurs that Alison never knew existed, we discuss historical parallels and the guilt of doting on our own kids in our comfortable homes while migrant families are being separated and detained. Then we read an email from a listener who backs up Alison’s fear that Daniel’s laundry will swallow her own, the short culinary shrift pudding and tapioca receive, whether there’s a market for savory puddings, Daniel Van Kirk’s new show Pen Pals Podcast and a gross story involving flying bits of fingernails. We also talk about Ray Oldhafer and his podcast and do a round of Just Me Or Everyone.

Alison Tackles the Big Questions

 

Do I believe in fate? Do I believe in an afterlife? What would I eat if food had no calories? I tackle the important questions in this solo show including why I have no guest for the second week in a row. Also I talk about an annoying life situation that leads to what feels like an epiphany, if I can put it into practice. Also I gossip and name names and dish some dirt but in a respectable way, I hope.
