Got Your Back is a ColdTowne Theater podcast about Austin improv.
History
The first show released on 2/3/14, with an interview of Michael Jastroch.
Format
In each show, hosts Cody Dearing and K.C. Harvey-Taylor interview a local comedian. Often times the special guest performs or teachers improv, sketch or stand-up comedy. Shows begin with an open interview of a guest, and then move to a second portion where the guest is asked a standard set of seven questions. Here are those seven questions copied from Cody Dearing's notes: - Do you have a favorite quote about [comedy, improv, writing, etc]? - Do you have a comedy pet peeve? - Was there an “ah-ha” moment where things clicked for you, and you felt like you gained some understanding of at least some part of (your specific comedic focus)? - How do you deal with having a bad show or if you feel you are in a slump? - What is your most memorable onstage moment (memorable for any reason)? - Have you recently watched any (movie, tv, stand up, play, live show, played a video game, read a book) that you really liked or that inspired you? - Who are some of your current favorite local performers? Why?
After the standard questions segment there is often a "commercial break" that features a comedic audio sketch by a local sketch group (often Midnight Society). Each show ends with some music by a "lesser known" (often local) artist to build on the theme of local support and DYI artist empowerment.
