Episode description

Intro: Meet Snoball.
Let Me Run This By You: clothes from Walgreens, coffins from Costco, the infernal unbreathabililty of polyester, shopping at Forever 21 vs Chico's vs Flax vs Eileen Fisher, the promise of the premise with Anthropologie, Mod
Interview: We talk to Eric Slater - talks the life of a struggling actor, Jon Berry and Shake Your Groove Thing, Around the Coyote, (side note: Eric says the first show he did after college was one thing, but it was actually The Big Funk with JABOA Theatre), almost becoming a professional soccer player instead of an actor, Fifth of July, North Carolina, being intimidated by New York City, Lancelot Gobbo's speech from Merchant of Venice, going to drama school in a fugue state, acting as an "unteachable art", whether or not everyone got a warning (Gina was wrong on this - not everyone was warned), Misalliance, Merrily We Roll Along, The Glory of Living, Androcles and the Lion, The Visit, being confrontational, the cut system, counting tiles as an acting exercise, resilience, what he would say to his daughter if she told him she wanted to go to theatre school, and  Fargo.
We didn't get a chance to discuss Bridge to Terabithia or JABOA. Next time!
