So for this special fundraising edition of the show, we present some of his never before heard scenes.

Sal is a sock. He’s had a good life, but it feels like something’s missing. Featuring Sebastian Conelli.

A special episode produced in conjunction with Pop-Up Magazine, this is the story of a bike locked to a bike rack a little too long. In June of this year, Pop-Up Magazine placed bicycles at bike racks in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and you could walk right up to them and hear what they had to say. Featuring Larry Owens.

Michael is a phone booth, and he’s been on hold for a while. Featuring Michael Kostroff. Additional credits for this episode can be found at everythingisalive.com.

What do you do when the thing you were made to do is the last thing you want to do? Featuring Mel Shimkovitz.
