    Backstage at The Regency - Ep. 2
    Feb 22 2025

    Welcome to Backstage at the Regency! The Regency is River Creek's finest theatre that puts on plays, productions, and shows from anyone from everyone and anyone, from Broadway to Mrs. Robert's third-grade production of The Owl Hoots at Night: the Regency does it all!

    In this second episode, Andrew, the technical director, is joined by co-host and local crusader for purity Justice Smythe, where they interview the Regency's backstage mastermind Fran Delegrammatica about post-it notes and hapless intern Steckman about her legendary theatrical roles. The resident theatre ghost Constance also joins, just being a nuisance.

    Andrew - Luke Bovard
    Justice Smythe - Konrad Andrew
    Fran Delegrammatica - Katya Vasilaky
    Steckman - Lisa Steckman
    Constance - Terry Armstrong

  • Introducing Samples of Sin (BIT Spotlight)

    Introducing Samples of Sin (BIT Spotlight)
    Feb 1 2025
    From the creative innards of Konrad Andrew comes Samples of Sin: Warning listeners about sinful music, saving them from the ever-present risk of listening to fallen music. Why must the Devil have the best tunes? The Very Reverend Justice Smythe, chairman and chief prophylactic of the River Creek Family Values Coalition, is here to help. In each episode, a special guest joins Justice Smythe. Justice and his guests are 100% guaranteed to be musical-cultural-theological experts and not just making stuff up. That would be ungodly.

    Welcome to the debut episode of Samples of Sin, where we sin, so you don't have to! Justice Smythe is joined by weathered band roadie Montgomery Von Wildenfoort, or as he's known on the road, "Sparky." They discuss the album Pleased to Meet Me by a bunch of Minnesotan hooligans calling themselves "The Replacements." Are they seeking to replace church? Despite the album's overwhelmingly sinful nature, it does at least redeem itself by reminding us that Jesus is a non-smoker. Sparky has a completely relevant, factual, and concise Paul Westerberg road story for every song.
