Delighted and thrilled to have the lovely teacher, actor, mom, and improv comedian, Irene Carroll (@andsceneirene) on #NoSuggestionPod this week. I've been pursuing Irene to come on the podcast for a long time because she's so sweet and so fun, and because I'm always so in awe of people who are parents who are very involved with raising their family, who still find ways to make time for their interests and creativity. Co-host Jake Joseph (@f00lish_b0y) and I have a wonderful time hanging with Irene and chatting about everything from Barbenheiming, to children's radio, to practicing for your first kiss, to jingles, KidProv, and as a bonus treat, Irene was friends with the people who founded Radio Free Brooklyn, the station we record this podcast from, and she tells us all about that and by extension the story of Collective Unconscious and the Bowery Poetry Club and the early 2000's NYC Art Star scene! It's a moment in the history of NYC culture I am so fascinated by so I am so geeked by this!We also get in some awesome and silly improv scenes including a scene about an actor at a comic book convention who takes his role as Ant Man very seriously. Irene is so sweet, and has so many cool stories from relentlessly pursuing a life of creativity and adventure, it was a joy to have her on. We know you'll dig this episode!You can learn more about Ralf, his comedy, his music (as Precious Gorgeous), his acting, his teaching, this podcast, find full episodes of this podcast, and more at preciousgorgeous.com!
