What Is Concsiousness? A JV Club x Journos Cossover
Ring in the New Year with a JV Club - Journos Crossover! This week, JV has a funny, informative and mind-boggling conversation with Brandon and Stephen about theories of what it means to be a conscious being. Seriously! We even asked scientists!
Rerun: Maggie Lawson
When should parents start letting their children pour their own cereal? Could an addiction to My Little Ponies be Kentucky Derby-related? Can anyone really BELONG to thunder? Another hard-hitting episode of The JV Club explores the the mind and memories of this week’s guest, the marvelous Maggie Lawson (Psych).
episode 579: Josh Hallmark
Seasons Greetings from JV and her Boy of Winter, Josh Hallmark (Studio Both/And)! With some real life-overlap between these two fairly newly-minted friends, get ready for a healthy dose of teen angst, LDS chitchat, secret hideout places, and yes, true crime quandaries.
episode 578: Liza Treyger
It’s December, so cast your mind back into the aughts for the glorious era of Brad Pitt & his unbuttoned white shirt on the December cover of Vanity Fair magazine... as your gateway into this entertaining chat with Liza Treyger (the other half of the great That’s Messed Up pod). From the tough love of the high school theater teacher to a fabulous M.A.S.H. future, inspiration runs high!
episode 577: Adrien Behn
Join JV and this week’s guest, Adrien Behn (Strangers Abroad pod) for a spirited convo covering glorious travel - both Adrien’s and the historic & competitive 1889 journeys of Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland around the world! Plus! Musicals, tacos, and a Gouda awakening!
episode 576: Jessica Sele
This one goes out to all you Mr. Darcy lovers out there! But all, of course, are welcome to this delightful chat with comedian Jessica Sele (whose Weird Vibes album you should totally check out now).
Rerun: Kristen Bell
It’s a classic JV Club train of thought that leaves the station at about 60 miles per hour, thanks to the bright light that is the mind and heart of one Kristen Bell (The Good Place), otherwise known as one of the world’s preeminent dog petting scientists. KB and JV cheerily talk failure, murder, and the incredible power of a good Sondheim refrain.
episode 575: Leah Rudick
Settle in this week for gem of a human being, comedian, actor and writer Leah Rudick (check out her special Spiraling!), who brings stories of growing up in Cincinnati, where— and we can’t be any more clear on this— there is a perfectly average insect population. Plus! beheadings, tone deafness, and beaaaautiful beaded gowns.
episode 574: Judy Gold
This one goes out to all the really tall gals with big, beautiful feet! Get ready for a lively chat with comedy legend Judy Gold this week on The JV Club, where parents muddle their way through their kids’ sexuality, coffee ice cream reigns supreme (with augmentation!), and we can’t get enough of Barbara Eden in a certain iconic tv costume.
episode 573: Sarah D. Bunting
Grab your ballpark hot dog and gather up all your unnecessarily detailed historical baseball stats for this delightful chat with Sarah D. Bunting (Best Evidence), in which we head to New Jersey, jam to Top 40, dig into Mom’s meatloaf, and heaps more. In fact, JV and SDB gabbed so much, they didn’t even talk about this book Sarah co-wrote to guide you through every episode of “Beverly Hills, 90210!"
