The Mabel Memorial Hobo Madness “NBC Used to Be Good and Now It Kind of Sucks” Tournament has Joel Murphy feeling nostalgic for the glory days of NBC.

So he’s dipped into the HoboTrashcan archives to brings you two never-before heard audio interviews – a 2012 chat with Alison Brie from Community before her New York show with her band The Girls (the print version can be found here) and a “lost” 2011 interview with Jim O’Heir from Parks and Recreation. And, as a special bonus, he rebroadcasts the audio highlights from his interview with Angela Kinsey from The Office (the print version can be found here), which first aired on the site in 2006 on Hobo Radio 6.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • Interstitial – “Vishnu Meets Funk” by Lucas Perny & Miloslav Kollar; “The Ring” and “Butterfly Lament” by Peacock Ball; “Incarcerated Mind” by Dr. Rage and the Uppercuts
  • End – Angela Kinsey audio highlights feat. Nanjemoy Creek Boys

Hobo Radio Interview – Rachel Brosnahan

Audio Interviews, Celebrity Interviews, Featured, Hobo Radio, House of Cards, Michael Kelly, Rachel Brosnahan

In a world of liars and murderers, call girl Rachel Posner is one of the few truly sincere people. While Frank Underwood and the other politicians in House of Cards all claws and backstab for power, Rachel wants nothing more to live a simple, happy life. It’s easy to see why Doug Stamper is so drawn to her.

Playing Posner on the show is the lovely and charismatic Rachel Brosnahan, who talked to us about auditioning for the part originally listed as “Call Girl,” Rachel’s twisted relationship with Doug and that unforgettable scene inside the van in the season three finale.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • Interstitial – “Vishnu Meets Funk” by Lucas Perny & Miloslav Kollar and “The Ring” by Peacock Ball
  • End – “Occam’s Sikhweee” by Sikh Knowledge

From Dr. Leo Spacemen on 30 Rock to Jerry Smith on Rick and Morty to Cyril Figgis on Archer, Chris Parnell has mastered the art of delivering ridiculous lines with a perfect deadpan. He’s the consummate comedic straight man who makes every scene he’s in better with his earnest delivery.

We recently spoke to Parnell about his journey to become an actor, his experience at the Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary special and the wavering of his Christian faith.

Hobo Radio 326 – Lawrence Gilliard, Jr.

Audio Interviews, Celebrity Interviews, Featured, Hobo Radio, improv, Lawrence Gilliard Jr., The Walking Dead, The Wire

Bob from The Walking Dead and D’Angelo Barksdale from The Wire may not seem that similar on paper, but both characters have a vulnerability and a tragic quality that gets you instantly invested in them, even as you fear for the worst. That’s because they are both played by the charming and talented Lawrence Gilliard, Jr.

Gilliard joins Joel Murphy and Lars to discuss acting, producing his own shows and his newfound passion, improv.

What was it like for the accomplished actor to take an Intro to Improv class? How does it feel to see The Wire finally get the recognition it always deserved? Will Gilliard ever get to finish his sandwich? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • Interstitial – “The Ring” and “Butterfly Lament” by Peacock Ball
  • End – “Re: Your Brains” by Jonathan Coulton
