This episode we are lucky enough to host Grace Goze of Hitchcock*Tails and Clued In as well as Joe Burton of The Improvised Shakespeare Company. What a delight!For the first time here is a ridiculous AI summary of the episode. We would have just written "Good accents, bad Canadians, enough said." AI Below:A ring caught by the wind, a rooftop roaring over Chicago, and two lovers trying to define what love looks like when the law barges in. Our live golden-age radio troupe builds a full town in your ears: candlelit tables on Cindy’s rooftop, detectives who sprint down spiral staircases like it’s cardio, and a Canadian mafia that promises menace with a disarming “sorry.” It starts as a one-year anniversary and swerves into an on-air caper about borders, identity, and the kinds of vows that outlast the weather.We meet Roscoe and Rachel as they navigate the world’s least helpful breeze and the world’s most unhelpful confession: she’s Canadian, and a sweeping crackdown could force her out. Across town, two hard-charging detectives hear the president’s words and treat them like a personal mission, fueled by a memory that’s equal parts tragic and absurd. The flashback to a “too polite” robbery reframes their obsession, and suddenly we’re inside a noir that’s been loosened at the seams, stitched with jokes about loonies and toonies and the eternal question: does an objection make a wedding more or less official?Along the way, a sponsor steps in—Wrigley Windbreakers, corrugated-steel chic—and the world deepens with every footstep, accordion wheeze, and whispered plan. The Canadian mafia leans hard into disguises—Italian, Scottish, South African—to dodge a roundup, proving that accents can be borders and comedy can be a map. When vows collide with vengeance, a ring bearer trips the standoff, and the chase spills through the church. At the edge of catastrophe, the couple makes a choice: don’t light the fuse. It’s a moral pivot wrapped in a laugh, a reminder that who we are matters less than what we decide to do.By the time the border news flips again, the city feels real enough to hold in both hands: wind, steel, sirens, and a hopeful “I do.” If you love improvised storytelling, period satire, and the kind of character work that turns chaos into meaning, you’ll feel right at home here.
