SRM Live at 2014 Philly Podcast Festival!

And we’re back! Sort of. This special episode of Stark Raven Mad was recorded back in August of 2013 as part of the first ever Philly Podcast Festival. We had real microphones and real people listening to us for some reason. I thought I had already posted it, but apparently not. Consider this a “lost” episode. Maybe it should have stayed that way. We will officially be back this Spring with new episodes including a look ahead at season 4 soon as well as weekly recaps of the show starting April 6th. For now, enjoy this live episode of SRM!

Joining the podcast as a sponsor going into this next season will be the Philly Improv Theater! PHIT is a comedy theater in Philly where each of us performs. In January we opened up Philly’s first full-time theater for alternative comedy in downtown Philadelphia. If you’re looking for shows we have them 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. If you’re looking to get involved in comedy we have classes in improv, sketch, standup and more! Our spring session starts the week of 3/16 and there is still some limited availability in improv and sketch 101 classes. Email classes@phillyimprovtheater.com for more information or visit PhillyImprovTheater.com. Support live comedy!
