The Improv Sound-Off

Our first Turkish guest! Irem Kurtsal-Steen is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Istanbul's Bo?aziçi University, and a regular performer with the Clap. We talk about the role of talent in learning improv, getting stuck in your head, and the implications of improv comedy for metaphysics. (Maybe not the last one.)

The Sound-Off returns in 2016! This week we talk with Audra Goffeney-Taylor, an improv performer and veteran at Seattle's Unexpected Productions. We chatted about adapting political comedy to a new climate (as Audra recently moved to London), as well as some of the ins and outs of performing characters of diverse identities and backgrounds.
