This week, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle are once again joined by Christopher Scarborough and Joe Taylor from The Curioso.

Who is Steven Van Zandt? Did Lars go full Christian Bale on the set? When’s the right time to use a semi-colon? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Lucy” by Plastic Flowers

This week, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle are joined by Dave LaSalle of the Baltimore Improv Group, who joins them to talk about the Baltimore Improv Festival.

The guys talk about stage acting versus film acting, how they cope with the fear of death and what celebrities they’d like to body swap with a la the new Ben Kingsley-Ryan Reynolds movie Self/Less.

Who would you switch bodies with if you had two weeks to live? Which accent is worse – John Malkovich’s in Rounders or Gary Oldman in True Romance? Is Josh Kuderna a monster? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Jarvis” by Toussaint Morrison

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
