Patten Disregard

Nate speaks with legendary Broadway pianist Paul Ford. 

Can somebody tell me why every new show is announcing how important it is? We get to the bottom of this in our latest episode: THE SELF IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST. Featuring more wisdom from our resident therapist, Lisa Gajda, as well as an interview with Broadway choreographer fresh off of staging the Tony Awards, Sarah O’Gleby. 

Workplace safety training.
Anti-bullying training.
Mindfulness training.
The list goes on and on….

Can someone tell me why in order to work in the theatre you need more training than a pediatric neurosurgeon? Why I’ve spoken to more nameless HR representatives than I have actors? Why I’m developing carpal tunnel syndrome from clicking through corporate sensitivity awareness platforms? Let’s talk about why these mind-numbing trainings are actually making the workplace worse in our latest episode:

TRAINING DAY

Do you think it’s ‘not fair’ you weren’t nominated for a Tony?

Featuring an interview with Tony award winning choreographer Sergio Trujillo as well as the state of theatre from our resident therapist, Lisa Gajda.

Come to think of it, so was Nate’s career…and life…actually, we’re all happy accidents in this insane world, especially with regard to theatre. Our careers have been forged by “right time at the right place” happenings and so we’re going to talk about it. What is the arts scene now? What is it going to be? How does someone have the foresight to create an online presence before anyone knew what that meant? What does it mean to have the “first viral video” in our circles? We’re going to find out with YouTube sensation Natalie Weiss.

In the recognition and celebration of the end of the pandemic which is now 100% over, we have decided to dedicate this episode to the brave men, women, and others, who have selflessly given their time to vanquish this vicious virus under the leadership and guidance of our undaunted, unflappable president—Kate Shindle. This week we bring to you: Episode 27: You guys. We did it. The coronavirus is over. No really, it’s over. Nothing more to see or even talk about, thank goodness. Just another paragraph in the annals of history and at least 47 pages of line items in the Actor’s Equity handbook. We speak to a real physician, Dr. Linda Dahl, who knows about real science to empirically confirm our real statement that the coronavirus is now nothing more than a distant memory. What the critics are saying: “The scariest thing about this episode is that I know he’s going to make another one” -Ben Brantley “The worst abomination in front of G-d and country I have heard of in my lifetime” -DC Episcopal Bishop, St. John’s Church “I’d fuck Nate harder than the electorate” -Kayleigh McEnany Written by: Nate Patten and Cam Collins Produced by: Justin Brown Logo by: www.performingpixel.com @bookeditpodcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcvh4H7ff3rQ0MI-OO04OEQ www.bookedit.net

Episode 26 - Hey Unemployment, Look Me In The Eye When You F*ck Me Featuring world renowned economist, Pete Mento—I know we’ve had him on three times in a row, but we can’t find a smarter person that can literally talk about everything important in the world. In this episode, we have a frank discussion about how and when Broadway can reopen. Here’s what they’re all saying: “This is where I gather all pertinent information on the world’s happenings” - Dr. Deborah Birx “Please try again later” - NY Department of Labor Call Center “Go! Write it in a martial hand; be curst and brief; it is no matter how witty, so it be eloquent and fun of invention: taunt him with the license of ink. If thou thrust him some thrice, it shall not be amiss; and as many lies as will lie in my soul.” - Donald J. Trump Written by: Nate Patten and Cam Collins Produced by: Justin Brown Logo by: www.performingpixel.com @bookeditpodcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcvh4H7ff3rQ0MI-OO04OEQ www.bookedit.net

Do you find yourself speaking confidently about topics you’ve never researched? Are you fully comfortable lecturing people on politics, history, and other things that people get PhDs in without ever having read about them? Did you fail ninth grade history but still sign up to speak on the ‘Constitutional Law’ panel at Hamilton’s BroadwayCon table? Then a career on Broadway might be for you! It also might be time to listen to... EPISODE 25: Tap Dancing Around Politics In this special episode, we address the entertainment industry’s uncanny ability to profess knowledge on topics that we know nothing about. Featuring BookedIt political correspondent: world renowned lecturer on foreign affairs Pete Mento. More praise for #BookedIt ‘Nobody likes Bernie Sanders. And nobody likes this podcast.’— Hillary Clinton ‘Maybe you should try Pearl Studios...?’—Patricia Ripley, owner of Ripley Grier ‘You have stolen my childhood’—Greta Thunberg Written by: Nate Patten and Cam Collins Produced by: Justin Brown Logo by: www.performingpixel.com @bookeditpodcastwww.bookedit.net https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcvh4H7ff3rQ0MI-OO04OEQ

Well...we know we have been on hiatus again. Why this time? We've been stationed at Actor’s Equity fighting to ensure company members receive profit-sharing. And we did it! The cast of ‘Bat Out of Hell’ now each owes $467,000. Speaking of the oppressed, this week we are pleased to present: Episode 21 - FVU: Facebook Victims Unit In this episode, we take on the growing trend of portraying yourself as a victim (ANY kind of victim) on social media, something that is becoming both trendy and (required?) to promote your online presence. The danger of this? It’s harmful to ACTUAL victims. Featuring BookedIt co-anchor, Lisa Gajda!
