282. RIP Montreal Improv Theatre ft. Johan DeNora

"Those kinds of institutions that bring joy and levity, you want to keep those around. In my mind, those are more than essential." Tom and Kate call up former host of the show Johan DeNora (@johandenora) to talk about the recent closing of Montreal Improv Theatre, share some memories and hopes for the future, to talk about the importance of the arts during a pandemic, and to reflect on the ways a space contributes to a community. "Hey! I miss you! Do you want to have a chat or a phone call or do a Zoom call or something?" There. Copy paste this next time you want to reach out to somebody!
