Meaghan Strickland spent every summer of her youth bouncing around from basketball camp to basketball camp due to her dad's position as a high school/college basketball coach. Her own journey as a player from childhood through her high school days was always colored by his insistence on mastering the fundamentals, so we pass stories back and forth of our summers: hers being bball camp-learned skills, mine being getting (mostly cross-) cast in numerous community theatre productions. We most certainly meandered topic-wise, but I cannot stress how much fun this was to record. Meaghan makes me laugh as easily as LeBron James makes a routine layup. We also cover how types of improvisers compare to basketball (and baseball) positions, how Meaghan finds herself thinking about characters and athletes as men and why we think that's the case, how sports camps should have pointed us towards creative pursuits earlier in our lives, and the Justin Timberlake film In Time. Sorry I brag a bunch about a mediocre set of awards.
