    No. 430 - Philly Improv, Swear Jar Jamboree, and D&D with Gabi Swain
    Apr 7 2026
    We talk to Philly-based comedian, Gabi Swain! Jason talks with comedian and improviser Gabi Swain about her path from Michigan to Pennsylvania (not the other way around), living in Philly, and how a political-science and campaign career (including work in DC) left her burnt out and led her to discover improv. After seeing an all-day improv festival at the Harrisburg Improv Theater, she became deeply involved, eventually co-founding the indie Swear Jar Jamboree comedy festival. Gabi explains the festival’s purposeful community-building approach, its produced show blocks mixing improv, sketch, standup, clown, character, and more. They also discuss improv warmups, long-form styles (including Harold and Spokane), Gabi’s D&D projects like Tiny Tabletop and “15-minute D&D,” and more more fun stuff!

    No. 429 - Casey Rand on Marketing, Satire, and Climate Storytelling
    Mar 31 2026
    We were joined by writer, climate activist, and creative director, Casey Rand! Casey has done a ton and she talks about it all with Jason in this expansive chat! Casey discusses growing up in Montreal, doing odd jobs (including trying to get a musician on iTunes), then discovering advertising creativity and moving to New York. She also talks about finding improv and sketch at Magnet and how she started writing for Reductress, McSweeney’s, and The New Yorker. She shares her side of the story on how she encouraged Howard Finkelstein (friend of the podcast) to pursue comedy via an email prank that reached comedy Jon Glaser. She also talks about co-writing "People Who Deserve It" and how it came to be from a blog, cofounding the climate nonprofit Potential Energy Coalition, writing a pilot that won a Black List fellowship, freelancing with Gooder (which she founded), and making entertaining messaging to counter disinformation. It's a great discussion! www.caseyrand.com Instagram: @CaseyRand @ThereItIsPod, @JasonFarrPics Threads: @ThereItIsPod, @JasonFarrPics Facebook: @ThereItIsPod Subscribe to our comedy newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/e22defd4dee2/thereitis

    No. 428 - Building Character Driven Comedy with Matt Stephens
    Mar 24 2026
    We talk to NYC-based comedian, writer, and performer, Matt Stephens! Matt talks about how he started doing comedy in Pennsylvania through improv at the Philly Improv Theater, bussing to New York for UCB classes, and later beginning stand-up after moving to New York. Matt discusses writing constantly, learning to create his own work, and developing his character-based work. He talks how his joke structure and how it's utilized in his play Brody Went Missing. Jason and Matt also talk about Matt’s Instagram choose-your-own-adventure series The Choice, made with Snapchat filters, polls, and self-performed characters. It's a fun and informative chat about the process of growing as an artist and creating comedy.
