Happy New Pod Day, Podience! In this episode we're listening to you and your stories and we're thrilled that you all have been getting INTO IT! We have a write-in gig story from a trombonist and a voice memo from a listener who has a thing or two to say about the Grammy One. Thank you for all of your stories and for the community, gaggers!

HERE YE, gaggers one and all! We have a THRILLING pod for you today! Our local virtuoso violinist, Filip Pogady, stopped by and graced us for a little chat at Gag Economy headquarters. We fill you in on how the three of us met years ago at a gig turned gag turned back to gig again. Filip then tells us all about his amazing life playing concerts, gives us advice on what to do if we were to study with him and tells us what it was like getting to his aforementioned virtuoso status. Do not miss this one! xoxoxoxo #violinist #virtuoso #comedypodcast #classicalmusic xoxoxo

Boy is this one REAL, podience. Two minutes in, we come up with sheer genius. After that you'll get an earful of curiosity as we ask hard hitting questions like: where is Is*s? what does a gag worker do on their off days? what was Caroline like with her snaggleteeth? We then transition into our latest operatic experience as audience members - spoiler alert, it was amazing. May we all be continued to be blessed by the most superior artform of all time. We share a ghost of gags past and a brilliant ghost of gigs present audio clip from a beloved friend. We end with some serious TEA surrounding a labor dispute amonst our dear musician collegues. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! 

Babies and Gentlemen! Gaggers and gagstresses! Boy do we have a special episode for you. That's right ...it's THAT kind of "special"! We feature incredible actor and clown, Ed Malone. In this episode Ed brings us into his world and teaches us a thing or two about what it means to clown around. He also talks about his major "thing" for Timotheé Chalemet. Tune in if you really want to know what makes us sick performers/actors/clowns tick. I'll give you a hint - it's not the free food. Oh and if you're a hot, available 25 year-old twink, DM us and we'll put you in touch. 

Greetings Podience! From telepathic podcasts that may or may not be AI, to football fandom as operatic performance art, the conversation spirals in the best way. Unpack why discomfort, confusion, and "hot laptop brain" are actually signs of growth. If your head hurts, congratulations—you're learning. Be cool. Do less. Observe. Let the hot laptop brain cool off. Reallocate your time. And never betray the secrets of the Gag Economy.

Greetings Podience! AND A VERY MERRY GIGMAS! Presenting Gag Economy's Holiday 2025 episode containing ghost of gigs past, present and future! We tell you how to deal with back handed musical compliments, offer the correct opinions about the infamous SHARK TANK 3d PRINTED CARBONFIBER instruments and we end by forcasting our prodigious future. Our 2026 wish for you, freelancers: high-demand opportunities that bring you both financial freedom and creative fulfillment, and full tupperwares of gig food!

WELCOME TO THE VAULT! You are listening to a long lost episode! My how times have changed...or haven't they? Did what we just said make sense? Who knows. But consider this a FLASHBACK episode as we GEAR UP for the 2025 holiday season! In this episode we gossip, make jokes, present revelations, talk about past and present gigs. May this episode find you at a time where you most need it. XOXOXOXO

GREETINGS, podience! Where did we go? Why did we go? Did we become prey to the latest human laundering scheme? Well you better LISTEN UP because we anwser all of that in this here post Thanksgiving Thanksgiving episode. In this episode, we discuss the top 5 gigs of our time off of pod, we give you holiday tips that can be used at any and all family gatherings Thanksgiving and not Thanksgiving related, we tell you why have been gone for so long and we give you ideas on how to live your best freelance life!

Podience! It is high summer and we are moving around and around. Lots of pieces are getting mixed up and rearranged. Life is one big puzzle when you really think of it, isn't it? In this episode we talk about MOVING in NYC, we give some advice on what to do with your DYNAMICS, we define often occuring phenomenon and we end with an EPIC multi generational ghost of gags past. Thank you for tuning in! 

Hi Podience! We have YET ANOTHER PIANIST on the pod. Ding ding ding! You heard it right! It's pianist/composer/conductor Mikael Darmanie, the gendre defying piano-core-space-hop artist whose AI biography we have debunked on the pod. Get to know him real time with us and hear our collective ghosts of gags past, listen to us improvise a new music hit and join in our niche classical music sh*t talking. Thanks for tuning in!
