The Conductor One ft. Ben Sellick24 oct. 202601:16:41

LADIES LADIES LADIES....we are blessed today because we get to spend one hour bullying a...duh duh duhhhhh - conductor. We brought on our dear friend, conductor/composer/quadruple-threat Ben Sellick. He has known us for six years and never once listened to our podcast. In thia episode, we force Ben to publicly renounce Juilliard, run through a Conducting Final Boss bracket (Bugs Bunny vs. Kirill Petrenko), unpack a listener gig horror story and conduct Beethoven 5 the only way we know how: with Boys Funky Jazz 2 energy. It was great playing with you!

The Musicians Dating Musicians One10 oct. 202600:51:37

PODIENCE! It's been a while and that's okay because absence truly does make the heart grow fonder. More like, it's cause we were busy gigging. ANYWAY, in this episode, we bring you a little cha cha tea time yap hour for your ride/commute/e-mail job. We start with a little gag story from a, duh duh duhhhhhhh... GIG BOSS! We follow up with a lengthy stream of conscious analysis of dating by instrument - a popular topic within our community. Happy to be officially BACK to regularly scheduled programming. It was great playing with you!

We have for you a foray into the chaotic world of woodwinds and corporate cubicles with hilarious comedian, content creator, and reformed saxophonist Noah Reedy (YT @littlepizzaboysdream)!

The Cello Goblin One ft. Rushadicus06 sept. 202601:02:58

Well look at what finally got down from the tree and into this altitude. In this episode, we captured feral goblin king and Land of Sneth monarch, Rushad Eggleston (@rushadeggleston). We tumble down the rabbit hole of goblin linguistics, we talk upside down toilet performance logistics and we abandon the English language all together. Plus, we finally get inducted into the Snethian hall of fame as Banthacula and Dentemba. This episode is best enjoyed while driving away from an audition you definitely just bombed, rotting on the floor of a practice room or munching on some cruelty-free bacon. XOXOXO.

The Eunbin One ft. Eunbin Choi22 août 202600:57:52

Well well well...look who we captured and took down to our lair. This week we're holding Vienna-based violinist, retired law girly, and deadpan queen Eunbin (@eunbin.choi) captive. We get deep into the trenches of classical music neuroses, unhinged audition trauma, recording anxiety, and our toxic love-hate bond with our instruments. This pod is best enjoyed on your drive to a gig where you pray you don't get yelled at, in the practice room while dissociating, or right before cutting your own bangs. XOXOXO.

What is UP, Gag nation? Today's guest is calling in live from the tour: viral sensation and certified subwoofer in human form, presenting...BoDaddy Harris!!!

BoDaddy tells us how his voice got that low (spoiler: it just kept going), why hotel deposits are the real villain of tour life, and what it's like to find out you're on Fallon the way normal people find out about weather. We play "BoDaddyReacts," attempt his vocal warm ups and read comments from his YouTube. And as always, it was great playing with you! xoxoxo

Greetings, fellow gig musicians! HAPPY SATURDAY! Today's episode features a full-blown internet crusade by the #euphonium community and a work trip to a high-society wedding that was strictly "for the plot" where we happened to sail by the famous ..."island." We dish on the seeming reality of content creator culture and the chaotic gig math required to pay New York rent.

Pull up a chair, drive safe, and remember: it's never that deep! Thank you for listening! Don't forget to subscribe, and as always, it was great playing with you!

In this episode, we dive deep into the high-stakes, high-stress, and bizarre world of Broadway because Caroline's making her Broadway debut at Schmigadoon! We start by plotting how to get our own show up there — the one where we put mediocre performers next to virtuosos so audiences can really appreciate the difference. Tune in as we explore the tension between the "prestige" of the Great White Way and the gritty reality of being a working musician in the pits.
