Gettin’ Close with Nathan Edmondson

This is the 10th episode! That’s right folks, double digits. You can no longer count the number of podcasts on one hand or foot. And what better way to celebrate our entry into double digits than with an appearance by Nathan Edmondson. Nathan has been a staple in Philly arts for years now. The guy has done a ton of great work in his time in Philly. Just a few improv credits include Rare Bird Show, Half Life, Nick & Nathan, Punchline!, Zao Gao and more. He’s directed PHIT House Team, Mayor Karen since it’s creation. He’s been director of the Terror Behind the Walls for years as well. He also has a production company, Reel 9 Productions, that’s hard at work on projects. The guy has done  and is doing  a lot in this city. He’ll be moving soon to the west coast, but before he does he was kind enough to sit down with me in what became the longest podcast yet. It was the first I really considered editing some conversation out… but didn’t. So, I urge to you listen to it all. Whether you break it up, or listen in one sitting, it’s worth it. Such a great talk about his life, improv philosophies, inner workings of team dynamics, future plans and more. We did take a couple quick breaks, so there will be some odd jumps, but overall it’s a pretty easy flowing conversation. Enjoy it!
