Musician, singer/songwriter, actor, teacher and lovely human Jacob Shipley is the man of the hour on this special 2 part episode.

Ep49 - I Love Playing "All Star" (Jacob, Part I)

Jacob returns! This time it's 100% musicals, as he challenges Scott's love for RAGTIME and Bizzy's loathing of JOSEPH.

Ep50 - Aliens with Extraordinary Skills (Jacob, Part II)

Inspired by the bountiful imagination of musical theatre pariah Frank Wildhorn, this action packed two-part episode features the triumphant and snarky return of guest Kyle Thomas Hemingway and our ridiculous deep dive into all things JEKYLL AND HYDE.

Ep55 - Linda Eder is a Real Person

Part II continues the conversation of the wacky world of Frank Wildhorn and his wildly popular adaptation of JEKYLL AND HYDE. Guest Kyle Thomas Hemingway is here. We know you've been waiting.

Ep56 - A Weed Whacker Composed This Score

Tim and Scott welcome friend and extraordinary artist Brian Hemesath, 3-time Emmy Award winning costume designer of television, film and stage as he shares his journey from an Iowa dairy farm to Broadway to Rome to West Side Story.

Ep57 -The Path From Veterinarian To Costume Designer (Hemesath, Part I)

Extraordinary artist Brian Hemesath returns to dish on musicals -loved and loathed. Gushes for the delightful and delightfullly obscure DAS BARBECU as well as ALW's STARLIGHT EXPRESS. Equal parts head shaking at the bizarre Broadway flop IN MY LIFE (which also happened to be Jonathan Groff's B-Way debut!).

Ep58 - He Lost To Donut Peaches (Hemesath, Part II)

Tim and Scott are joined by the uber talented multi-disciplinary artist Kent Jenkins (aka Snubby J) who shares his uniquely marvelous journey from an enthusiastic teenager building his own rimba tubes to appearing on ELLEN and traveling to the Edinburgh Fringe with his original show. Inspiration abounds. 

Ep59 - It's The Leap (Kent, Part I)

The uber talented Kent Jenkins returns -this time to talk MUSICALS, of course! Love for SHREK and some gentle loathing for BRIGHT STAR.

Ep60 - I Got To Be Dream Curly (Kent, Part II)

Bizzy Coy returns in the award-winning segment for the penultimate season episode. More musicals are either green-lit or rejected into the sewer of bad ideas all with the wit and hilarity of our most cherished guest.

Ep61 - Pitchin' Bizzy: Conceived by Gemini

That's a WRAP! Season 3 comes to its stunning conclusion as Tim and Scott reach into the wacky grab bag of random information that has confounded or intrigued them at some point in the past twelve months to finally reveal the truth that is out there. Will you learn something? Remains to be seen. Will you be entertained? Unlikely. Remember, in the end, there is No Hope!

Ep62 - Rewind! (But Did You Love Mike Faist?)

Tim Aumiller and Scott Schneider of NO HOPE share thoughts on musicals, culture and the 16+ year collaborative journey of their barely-on-life support writing careers and creative endeavors. They formed NO HOPE Productions in 2003 when they presented their first musical DOSE! at the East Village’s Kraine Theatre. Since, they have written five full-length musicals and presented more than a dozen evenings of new music including SIREN/KINGS and PULLING THE PLUG at the legendary Joe’s Pub and THE YEAR AFTER at The Green Room 42. Their musical HELLO, MY NAME IS BILLY was a Backstage Critic’s Pick and a FringeNYC award winner. On film, their song “Fools Like You” was featured in the acclaimed documentary ACTRESS; you can also find their music video “Evolution” featuring Siren on YouTube. The NO HOPE Songbook Volume I: 2003-2013, which includes their MAC Award nominated “So Many Reasons” can be purchased on their website nohopeproductions.com. Recently they received a Fruitie award for Outstanding One Act at the Fresh Fruit Festival for their first consensual cannibal musical, ONCE BEGUN.
