    PvI#93: Poetry Stands its Ground w/ Shannon Bass and Audrey Kohler
    Jun 4 2025
    Shannon the philosopher and Audrey the poet are Seattle improv buddies that form a duo called Closer to Clarity that uses improv to answer audience members' big life questions (BLQs). Through these guests and their BLQs, philosophy and poetry face off and mind meld and do-si-do as we play through two wacky corporate office scenes and return once again to Empty Street™ for an attempted gas station poetry open mic.

  • PvI#92: Postale au Naturale w/ Greg McBrayer

    PvI#92: Postale au Naturale w/ Greg McBrayer
    May 12 2025
    Greg teaches philosophy (and is Interim Provost) at Ashland, loves Xenophon, and runs a podcast. We reflect on the dangers of radon and other "natural" things. How might one of our government agencies become more natural, and would we want that? Are fart jokes the most naturally funny kind? Then, Greg the trucker visits Empty Street and embezzles dead mules. Bill was thrust from the final portion of the call, so Mark and Greg engage in some philosophy podcast shop talk. He returns for the Post-Game after Greg's departure (actually, it was the next day) to reflect on the episode and specifically identify the naturalistic fallacy.

  • PvI#91: Community Breakdown (or Breakdance?) w/ Nick Armstrong

    PvI#91: Community Breakdown (or Breakdance?) w/ Nick Armstrong
    Apr 13 2025
    Mark and Bill are joined by the actor/improviser who directs Camp Improv Utopia and is involved in managing improv spaces such as Denver's Rise Comedy. We talk about the notion of community, with a scene about the neighborhood watch and a return to Empty Street to deal seriously in a public-service-announcement/after-school special sort of way with the issue of buying liquor underage. How does one foster a supportive improv community? Can we develop a community of returning Empty Street cast members? You can choose to watch this discussion on unedited video. In the post-game, Mark and Bill talk briefly about people who can't sympathize beyond their immediate circle. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
