Best episode(s) to show a new listener?
This podcast has been my bread and butter for so long (it scratches the theatre kid itch in my brain so perfectly), and I finally got my friend to agree to check it out with me!
However, there are so many episodes I adore I can’t choose which one to show first! I’m hoping I can rope my buddy into a joint hyperfixation situation here. They already love dropout and adored Jeremy on game changer, so the odds are stacked in my favor.
Personally I love the recurring mini-series like The View, the Thanksgiving parade, Halloween Poets, etc. but I wanna start with something stand alone. (We All Played the Joker and Blue Man Group I also am obsessed with, however I feel like the humor hits harder if you’re more familiar with the podcast before watching).
I’m considering Eurovision or Las Vegas Performers sheerly for how often I stim quotes from those lol. Then again, having one of the dropout cast members as a special guest could benefit me in converting my bestie to a flalalady. Maybe We Made a Movie in Paris? Legendary Voice Actors? Ugh these guys are just too talented and funny to make the decision easy 😭.
What would y’all recommend as a good starter episode for someone who’s never seen the series?
What episode got you hooked in the first place?
