Episode 31: Founder's Day Special with On the Air
We're back! Kind of.
To celebrate our Founder's Day we're playing a grown-up episode of our new podcast, Balderdash Academy's On the Air!
We took a break from taping to focus on our Competitive Comedy, our Improv Live show, and our new live show and podcast, On the Air.
On the Air is our love letter to vintage radio comedies. In the podcast, we join the professors of Balderdash Academy as they take a tongue-in-cheek look at vintage radio dramas that never were. Each month, our hosts Bob LeBlanc and David Hanright listen to a full live studio audience recording of a new vintage-style radio comedy and briefly discuss the "totally real" history of each "totally authentic" radio show. So join our professors from our real fake school as we present radio plays that never were with On the Air!

Bonus Episode: Catharsis – The January 6, 2021 Taping
This historic insurrection impacted each of us in different ways. We chose to deal with the shock and horror the way we always do and decided to continue with the taping. What resulted was a strange, manic night as we each came to grips with what the event meant for our nation and our future.
We weren't sure if we would ever release this episode. This is our catharsis. We are distracted, raw, and all over the place. Our suggestions bordered from the juvenile to the bizarre. As the night progressed we got sillier and, in some cases, a little drunk. But what this all is, is real.
We hope you enjoy this bonus episode.
