Tim Dunn (of the fellow Nerdologues-produced podcast Talking Games with Tim and Clayton) is on the show to talk about a relatively new-found love of being busy.

This episode was bound to happen because people effing LOVE The Simpsons, and I'm so pleased that it happened with gem-of-a-person Amy Thompson. She's such a sweetheart that I dare you not to be warmed by her silly antics in this conversation.

What is a great episode of MBSing? In this week's episode, Pad tells me of his long-standing love for Jeopardy! that recently culminated in an appearance on the show.

Sit back and actually enjoy some 90s nostalgia for a change (we promise this is nothing like a cloying BuzzFeed list) as my friend Kevin and I unpack his love of cartoons!

Anyone who knows Julia knows she's an incredibly passionate person, and I couldn't wait to get her on MBSing to chat about one of the many things she's passionate about. Possible topics included feminism, childhood/nannying, social networks, drinking, Beyoncé, family, and a handful of others, but at the top of the episode my lovely roommate Stephanie drew Julia's topic out of a hat as an unbiased observer. 

Break out the Entertainment Weekly and pull up IMDb and AV Club in different browser tabs because Rob and I are about to get deep into some pop culture goodness. Rob is an incredibly nice guy and an excellent actor/improviser, and he goes into some really interesting details on how he became a fan of pop culture in general (Looney Toons played a big role!) and how it continues to feed into his creative life (the phrase "Comedy Cops" is used!).

It's fitting Matt chose to talk about board games because I think this episode has the fun and enthusiasm of sitting down for a rousing game with friends. Matt tells the best stories and so aptly applies his love of board games to his job with gamification AND to his passion for improv in the search for the game and beyond.

Hola mis amigos! Enjoy this sweet ep with my new friend Christopher Kidder-Mostrom who explores his passion for translating that started in a grad program and has culminated in his theatre company Commedia Beauregard. Chris and his company have an incredible mission statement to bring important works of theatre from other languages into English while keeping the essence of the pieces intact.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far awayA few days ago in my kitchen, Elliott and I had a delightful chat about his favorite film franchise, Star Wars. Unlike most fans, Elliott doesn't feel as much of a need to exclude those pesky prequels, and his defense essentially began with "shut the fuck up about Jar Jar Binks."

Claire and I tackle the task of talking about a visual medium on an audio podcast, and we succeeded with flying colors. Claire is such a smart, kind lady who I consistently find myself lucky to have the pleasure of collaborating with regularly. She loves art and MBSing and did an excellent job sharing her love of both with me.
