EP. 3 — A Secret Society
Paul F. Tompkins once again welcomes you all to Spontaneanation, and this week he is joined by special guest Jason Ritter of Gravity Falls and HBO’s Girls! They chat about Kurt Cobain being Jason’s hero growing up, how reading a Choose Your Own Adventure book can be stressful, and believing that staring at candles for a long enough time can make you go blind. Paul is then joined by improvisers Craig Cackowski, Amanda Lund and Chris Tallman, to improvise a story set in a secret society meeting. As always, the incredible Eban Schletter scores it all on piano. It’s a real Choose Your Own Adventure for your ears!
