Sleep No More

The always delightful Joe Kaye (@joecharleskaye) returns to the show to talk about the long running immersive theater experience Sleep No More. Sleep No More is a 3 hour, wordless version of Macbeth told via dance and it all takes place inside of a four story building where each floor is filled with fully explorable rooms where the scenes unfold around you in real time. It is crazy. The long running New York City show is closing in 2024 and Joe Kaye has done the experience several times in an attempt to remember this unique theatrical experience. Strap in. Get inspired. Have your mind blown....
info_outlineYou don't follow the rad, you go to where the rad is going to be. A deep cut quote for a hilarious (and shockingly informative) episode of This is Rad. Today we have Tom Goss (from The Mean Boys Podcast) giving us a history and state of the union for the great sport of hockey. Joining us as a bonus guest fellow Mean Boy Keith Carey, because if you have 2 co-hosts who don't know much about the sport, you might as well add a third person for additional color commentary. Even if you don't dig sports this episode celebrates the full range of hockey well beyond the game into pop culture, video games, and some recommendations for classic fight videos. Kyle chats about his love for The Mighty Ducks 2. The boys debate the best hockey video game. Plus thrill as the gang learn and rock out to the song that plays when the Anaheim Ducks score a goal. Strap on your skates and enjoy a knuckle puck of radness coming straight at you.
