Nate Oaks

Hey friends! Sorry we missed you last week, but we were not throwing away our shot at an episode with the man, the myth, the baka himself: Nathaniel Oaks! This kid texts me two days before the show, saying he's available this Thursday and this Thursday only to make an in-person guest appearance. We had a whole other musical plan lined up with special guest Sofia "Taylor" Taylor, but you'll have to wait until next episode for that one.Anyway, we had a lot of fun in the booth with Nate. We talked Hamilton, secrets, other Sore Thumbs shows ripping our style, and much much more. We also had a blast sharing our exclusive access to the NYCC Q&A panel for hit sci-fi fantasy series Console Wars, rich with cast/crew and flooded with passionate fans. And listen closely or you might miss a very special second surprise RETURNING guest! A familiar face already? We must be pretty sought after. I'm currently seeking representation.Originally recorded on March 5, 2026.WHO YOU HEAR (with Instagrams)Brady Reynolds: @bradyfreynoldsFrankie Mendez: @frankiedezNate Oaks: @nateoaks_Nick Carmenate: @nick.carmenateThe Sore Thumbs Variety Hour with Brady Reynolds and Frankie Mendez is a long-form improv comedy show between two friends and a rotation of special guests (Emerson friends, Boston-based comedians, musicians, etc.), staging ‘interviews’ between impromptu characters that meet and come to life in the booth, along with general off-the-cuff banter and musical performances. We want to cultivate for our listeners the feeling of being ‘in’ on an inside joke.Sore Thumbs is recorded live from Emerson College in Boston, MA and broadcast live on WECB FM every Thursday at 2pm! Tune in if you feel so inclined, otherwise listen back to the episodes you missed right here!This also means certain needle drops during the live episode have to be cut afterward for copyright reasons, so definitely tune in live if you don't want to miss out on our impeccable music taste.For inquiries, if you are in the greater Boston area and would like to be a guest or perform music, email [email protected] Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
