We're just sitting around chatting about the things that people chat about when they're sitting around chatting. Join us!
Thank you to singer/songwriter Rachel Garlin for sharing tracks from her new album "Wink at July" in public for the first time, her inspirations for writing songs and her adventures around the US as a traveling troubadour!
Get more information about Rachel and her music here: http://rachelgarlin.com/
Join her SF Women's Song Circle meetup here: http://www.meetup.com/SF-Womens-Song-Circle/
Thank you so much to my new friend, Jason Mack, for chatting with me about starting an Audra Show chili-cookoff, what it was like to inject himself with liquid oxycodone, the kindness of strangers and his obsession with Mexicans.
Bay Area folks: check out his pay-whatever-you-want show Real Live Comedians
Thank you so much to Alec Bash for a great chat about the state of politics in America, the mid-term elections, Ready for Hillary and whether or not the Koch brothers can be considered sociopaths. Shocking spoiler alert: For me, it's a definite yes!
To help with the progressive push for the last weekend before election day:http://keepthesenateblue.org/

Thank you to Alex & Anthony & Steve for a far-ranging chat that covered life in Texas, women's rights, the SF Giants, King Tut's "womanish hips" and what goes on in the core of the Earth.
Plus, an important reminder that Steve is the centrifugal force that binds us all together. Reflect on Steve. Who is Steve? Be Steve!
Very big thanks to my first repeat guest, Rory Kelsch, for a lovely time chatting about possibly meeting maybe-Phil Simms in LBI, other celebrity sightings, the dryer stick, U2 backlash and staying positive! And thank you to one of my all-time favorite couples, Honey & Tom (Ror's parents) for calling in to chat about their new (& I think, inevitable) gig as traveling entertainers!
Well, we got ditched by Jen, but that did not stop Justin and I from having a great time in the dark talking about his new iPhone 6 Plus, Redcord, Pilates, doing what makes you happy, women in comedy and yes, even our hair!
Check out Justin's awesome training business and graphic design skeeelz here: http://rebalancedsf.com/ Rebalanced SF
I made the pic sepia in an attempt to avoid all of our shiny red-ness.
Thank you to Adrian, Damon, Landon and Nicole for a fun chat about Comedy Hack Day, Burning Man, Bitcoin, stand-up comedy and once again, my lack of knowledge of rap music!
Technical difficulties of the week: Forgot to take a selfie - or any pics - before Nicole left (please feel free to insert yourself on the couch in this panoramic view from my seat). Once again, forgot to turn the mics on after the break...DAMMIT! Sorry about that.
One (human) guest, lots o' pics! Many thanks to stand-up comedian, graphic novelist, baseball historian, thriving survivor of a stroke and a wacky stepmother, Ed Attanasio and his sidekick, Freddy, for a very fun and fast-moving 2 hours.
We had a wide-ranging chat which covered all of the above including Derek Jeter, baseball rivalries, Ed's book "Bushers" (find it on amazon), how he became an artist after his stroke, his stand-up comedy career highlight and his days doing drugs on the grounds of his seminary school!

Thank you to Eddie Gobbo and Jon Verna of Harmonic Brewing for chatting with me about craft brewing, NFL craziness, GRØWLER lyrics, and whether or not there is a magic leprechaun dancing around Eddie's head. Thank you to Scott Redick for fighting traffic to make it on the last minute of the show. And thank you to infant guest, Layla Gobbo, for appearing on not 1, but 2 FCC Free Radio podcasts today (catch her on today's episode of The Bob Benson Show as well)!!
The Audra Show episode #5! Thank you so much to #ThatTechGirlLiberty Madison for a wonderful chat which covered Fandroids, Phablets, Glassholes, the human side of technology and "The Power of Now."
Big thanks to episode #4 guests Leah Karliner West, Howcrio Burley and Cleveland for a great show which included public speaking tips, dog poop stories, truck nuts, reasons why MMA is a compelling sport, several rounds of us playing Crio's new app, FigureOfSpeech (which launches September 22, check it out at figureofspeech.co) and more!
Oh and sorry for the abrupt start, I'm struggling with the promos!
Sadly, I was not coordinated enough to get a decent picture of us on skype - so you'll have to use your imagination. But thanks to Babs, Rand and OCDee! Barbara Maher Randi Yezer
Listen in to episode #3 to hear us discuss Ass Time, OCDee.com, mediums, the Day We Lived Like Men and more!
Thank you to Rory Kelsch (Jackee) and David Elliott Lewis for being my wonderful guests for episode #2! (And again to Ash Fisher for rushing in to solve my technical emergency!)
Listen to this episode to hear Ror & I discuss Comedians in Cars getting Coffee and pee-wee javelin throwing and David explains newly-passed SF mental health initiatives, Laura's Law and the Golden Gate Bridge barrier, among other things.
Many thanks to Danny Dechi, OJ Patterson, Ash Fisher, Fred L Lazarus & Rebecca Ward. & Happy Birthday OJ!
Download this episode to hear the origin's of Danny's cape & the truth about OJ's retirement from comedy. Also, everyone's memories of Robin Williams on the SF comedy scene.
I’m excited to let everyone know that I am starting an online podcast called The Audra Show! Because why not start a podcast? I just thought it’d be fun to set aside a couple of hours each week to catch up and have interesting conversations with all of the interesting people I have met in my “interesting” life.
Therefore... I strongly encourage everyone to get in touch with me if you are interested in being an in-person or phone/skype/facetime guest. Possible discussion topics include:
- comedy
- pop culture/current events
- happenings you have happening
- politics
- tech (I just learned how to code!)
- health & wellness
- marketing
- spirituality
- space
- ghost stories
- advice
- weed vs alcohol
- your new venture
- your old venture
- your life story
- life in general
- my terrible love life
- what i’m eating for dinner tonight (my mother said she’ll be calling in)
- how we met
- that time we hung out and something funny happened
- how ridiculous it is of me to be starting a podcast (whatever, it’ll be fun!)
- anything
So, please like this page and mark your calendars/set your reminders for Wednesdays at 4-6pm Pacific time for The Audra Show! Yay!
