Gage Vance in Ypsi-tucky, Pt. 1

Sherrie's Cherries
It’s a Michigan podcast, we’ve gotta do a cherry episode! This week, Aral is joined by talented actress, singer, comedian and teaching artist, Kaitlyn Bess Reil who brought her own character…and boyfriend…onto the show! Kaitlyn plays the titular “Sherri,” and my surprise guest, Austin Fajnor, plays “Buck.” You’re gonna love this couple as much as they love each other!

It's All Dutch to Me With Margie Klüte
In this episode, Aral convinces his communications professor, Catherine Palomino, to be on the show! It doesn’t hurt that she’s an incredibly funny stand-up comedian as well! 🤣 Cayte lives in Grand Rapids, so she has chosen to play a wedding planner from the completely fictional 37th Reformed Church of Hudsonville, to help elucidate for all of us the rich complexity of West Michigan's Dutch Reform Community.

Back in Time with Huckster Mary Judge
This episode uses the magic of radio to transport listeners to the Detroit Central Market circa 1888, where Aral introduces you to both one of the most accomplished entrepreneurs of the Market, AND the accomplished actress who plays her at Henry Ford’s Greenfield Village, the incomparable Ms. Stephanie Nichols. Ms. Nichols is an award-winning actress who, after graduating from Michigan State University, has performed professionally in the Detroit area, across the country, and internationally! She is a proud member of Actors’ Equity Association, and we are PROUD that she drove up to the LCC studios in the Summer of 2024, on a day when she wasn’t sweating in a corset under 90° heat to record this episode! It just took Aral a while to edit. Enjoy!Stephanie Nichols Theatre Credits and ProfileSteph's facebook________________Website: Aral GribbleInstagram: Gribbles 'n' BitsYouTube: Trollin' the Mitten

Canadian Invasion
In this episode, Aral plays ALL the characters on the show…again! This is a rare (slightly) scripted episode of the show, due to the fact that Aral thought improvising against himself might prove a bit too confusing, especially since this was one of the first episodes he recorded! In a direct response to the xenophobic propaganda about immigrants, this episode imagines what happens when a unit of the Michigan Militia starts preparing for an invasion…over our NORTHERN border! After the episode, enjoy another commercial parody inspired by a local car salesman.
