Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
Shelly and Claire recorded this one live at the Independent Comedy Club in Hamtramck Michigan during the Detroit Women of Comedy Festival. Thanks Brett. Thanks Erin from Love and Other Books for the recommendation. I would love to do a follow up on this one because there was soooooo much to unpack. I can't wait to hear what this read brought up for y'all.

Episode 121-The Cult of Dad by Nathan Corliss
In this episode, we are back with Ypsilanti's own Nathan Corliss with a live read through of his newest play 'The Cult of Dad'. No stranger to the podcast, playwright/actor/educator Nathan Corliss has debuted other original work on this show including a full reading of his play Three Sinners in 2021. What if Ted Mosby of How I Met your Mother was portrayed as delusional instead of a good guy trying his best? And what if instead of fate leading him to true love, it led him to inherit his dad’s cult? That’s the seed of this play, which is still a work in progress. Tune in to hear Nathan and the assembled readers work out a possible ending to this unfinished work.

Episode 120-Human History on Drugs-by Sam Kelly
Shelly is with besties Linette DeSano and Hillary Youd at the kitchen table where so much of the fun of life happens to discuss 'Human History on Drugs' by Sam Kelly. History makes a lot more sense when you understand the drugs involved-for better or worse.
