Ep. 108: Murder Overdrive

Wed, 31 Oct 2018 16:07:58 +0000

Hello Overdriverinos. As our die hard fans know, this is our 10,000th episode of Murder Overdrive, the podcast where Nathan and Brian singlehandedly solve a cold murder case and humiliate local law enforcement - all with nothing but their millions of fans, two college journalism classes, and lucrative sponsorships from Casper Mattresses and Stamps.com. On this special Halloween episode, the boys dig into a case that takes them from farmer's markets to an abandoned island. But the real question is, will Nathan and Brian's friendship be murdered just like the killer's victims?

Nathan Hartswick & Brian DeLaBruere (The Unmentionables) are joined by Natalie Miller, Bryan Parmelee, Jenna Pacitto, and Conor Lastowka, with Adam Rabin on musical instruments.

Recorded at Vermont Comedy Club, presenting Preacher Lawson (America's Got Talent) Nov 1-3, and Tom Green (MTV) Nov 8-10.

The Unmentionables can be seen every Thursday at 9pm.

A very special episode starring those Two Gentlemen of Vermont, the Shakespearean improvisers known as LONGFELLOW.

Episode 000: Welcome to Improv Overdrive

Mon, 09 Jul 2018 17:03:04 +0000

Co-hosts Nathan Hartswick and Brian DeLaBruere share almost no useful information about their upcoming podcast, Improv Overdrive, such as when it launches (Tues, July 10th) or how frequent it will be (weekly).

Nathan also interviewed dozens of local comedians for a version of this episode, and due to a technical difficulty, that audio never recorded - so we're already off to a great start.

Anyway, get psyched! This show will be loose and weird.
