It's been a busy week here at Ardenfell HQ, so we are playing a re-rerun this week. (Hey, if those greedy striking writers at the WGA can do it, so can we.)

New episodes should be back next week! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this re-airing of a very special LIVE episode we did back in January.

Speaking of LIVE shows, we hope to do more! There's a festival in late August we're shooting for -- more details on that soon.

Be well!

********************************************

It’s a very special LIVE episode of The Corporation, recorded in front of a small but mighty audience at Vermont Comedy Club! Dean is joined first by Teddy Burnbridge, who reflects on teaching schoolchildren about our great meritocracy by performing his autobiographical play for them.

Then, Annette Gelby talks about what it takes to turn shuttered women’s health clinics into businesses that are a little more, shall we say, “baby-positive.”
