Jump the Track – Details, episodes & analysis

It's taking a lot longer than anticipated to edit all the segments for Bugstock '25, which is a great problem to have. In addition to the music and character interviews with my online friends, for the first time in Jump the Track history there are IRL improv friends on the show! The montageoscene (montage/monoscene) was over an hour long, which gives you an idea how massively full the podcast episode will be once it's posted

Long story short, here's a preview of Bugstock '25 to tide you over until the full episode is ready. All three of us have shows coming up this weekend, so if you're in the Pittsburgh area head to Arcade Comedy or Glitterbox for some awesome improv comedy!

Katy is back to talk about Keeping Up Appearances, but also Last of the Summer Wine because we both are incapable of sticking to one topic. We waxed poetic for so long that we ended up only talking about 2 episodes instead of 3, so tune in for fun facts and tangents galore! And as always, so much love for Dame Patricia Routledge who is the absolute best!

We've got an interview with the inventor of the chip clip, a few callers, and a sponsor who may or may not have forgotten to practice their accent ahead of time. Two episodes in a year, who'd have thought!

Several fake commercials, a parody of Crazy, a PSA from Belinda Incisor whose accent is atrocious and may be a vampire, and a much shorter run time than anticipated. Will there be weekly short shows? Will the next episode happen in 2024 and be 3 hours long? Your guess is as good as mine
