Wisconsin with Matt Newell and Dave Theune

from Open to Suggestion · host James Mastraieni and Mike McLendon

Matt Newell and Dave Toy join James and Mike for an episode inspired by a children’s book of Wisconsin facts and symbols. After the scenes, they break down what worked, what didn’t, and how grounding allows absurdity to flourish. Plus, the group digs into playing inanimate objects, when (and when not) to embrace the absurd, and how to balance commitment, point of view, and audience trust to keep even the weirdest scenes human.
