Show Notes
Unplugged episodes are where we ditch all the fancy production and story elements and bring you the raw (or slightly edited) interviews with folklore experts. On today’s episode, Mason & Perry got to speak with Ian Brodie. Dr. Brodie leads us through a fascinating discussion about humor, absurdism, dad jokes, improv, and the human condition. Ok, let’s get unplugged… Guest: Dr. Ian Brodie (Twitter) (LinkedIn) (YouTube) (Website)
