This episode of Gettin’ Close with Mike Marbach is somewhat unique. Most of the podcasts feature a comedian of some kind. That’s who they are, that’s what they do. This one features one that did and now he doesn’t. Andrew Stober is a former performer at the Philly Improv Theater. He performed with PHIT House Teams Fletcher and Hot Dish, but it’s been quite a while since he donned the improv flannels and stepped on the stage. After a successful run working for the City of Philadelphia, now he’s looking to help run it. He is running for City Council and throughout this podcast we talk about various issues facing the city as well as things that are already good and getting better all the time. Below is some information to find out more about Andrew as well as help support his campaign.
