YouTube: After School Matters - Power Your Story Podcast

***

Power Your Story is produced by students in the Podcast Tech & Production programs of After School Matters in Chicago. We represent diverse voices, telling our real life stories through the power of podcasting technology.

Each season features a new group of student producers under the mentorship of producer, Andrea Klunder of The Creative Impostor Studios, creating personal journals, interviews, and discussions about the topics that matter most to us.

Our theme music is by DJ Sparkz.

Long-awaited guest, comedian, podcaster, and writer Pat Regan joins Greta to discuss how he's the "oldest one" in their friend group, reminisce about Baby Jessica and Amanda Knox, and bond over loving Scorpios. Pat talks about being in the closet in high school but loving women who could kick ass on screen, winning his cross country track power rankings (which is so much more important than a Superlative!), and beefing with his valedictorian. Plus, you'll find out which Charmed sister Greta and Pat feel bad for.

Listen to Pat's podcast, SEEK TREATMENT, co-hosted with Friend-of-the-pod Catherine Cohen.

Writer, producer, and comedian Dave Mizzoni joins Greta (and special repeat guest Patrick Foley) this week!

Plus, Classmates Corner is back with a *juicy* mystery to solve!

Comedian and flexible identical twin Dylan Adler joins Greta this week! They talk about his (also) gay and (also) gymnast twin brother who narced on him for skipping band practice, and negotiating kindness out of his water polo teammates who bullied him. His mom offered to pay for his porn subscriptions so he wouldn't give their family computer viruses anymore and he was made Salutatorian at graduation for having the 2nd highest GPA in the school.... beating out his brother in 3rd place! This episode is filled with gems.

Writer and performer Gabe Liedman joins Greta to talk about going to a Quaker (aka "gay" in his own words!) high school and being mean to everyone around him. They bond over their love for the smell of high school pools, being stoners, and feeling too curvy to wear preppy clothes. Gabe was catfishing men in AOL chat rooms before it even became cool on TV and wore thong flip flops with a rented tux to his prom... this episode is a gem!

Writer and comedian Charlie Bardey is on the show this week indulging in a glazed donut-flavored health bar that claims to be inspired by "the taste of a woman"... it's giving Barbie! Charlie talks about growing up in NY as a self-serious teen who was excellent in school and getting a "haircut" for his first time drinking at theater camp... if you know you know. Even though he wrote the superlatives for the yearbook, he didn't give himself one so Greta ends up bestowing one upon him!

Creator and pop-culture connoisseur Tefi Pessoa joins Greta this week to talk about growing up in Miami and not feeling represented properly on TV so she tried to fit in and be as blonde as possible, as fast as possible. Back then she loved celebrity news (and still does!), met her boyfriend of 9 years in biology class, and had her school receptionist friend make her prom dress. Her first boss was the infamous Kelly Cutrone and you'll never guess what she used to call Tefi... or maybe you will, it's not that out-of-character!

Writer, comedian, and performer Betsy Sodaro joins Greta this week to bond over their love of Jock Jams, South Park, their "lucky" stand-up clothes, and skiing. In high school Betsy's punk and ska music was part of her identity but she also loved pop music (but would never admit it back then!). Classmates Corner is back with a love triangle story and a Euphoria-like prom afterparty. Plus,Betsy delivers an ACTUALLY fun account of getting drunk for the first time!

Writer, actor, and producer Tommy Do joins Greta this week to talk about his love for Paris Hilton, his addiction to driving around and hitting trash cans in high school, and growing up as a competitive figure skater. In a twist we rarely see, he even thanks his high school bully in the Guidance Counselor's office. He was voted Best Dressed senior year, which was a low-key read, but we're embracing it on this episode!

Genius writer and creator of Search Party, Charles Rogers joins Greta this week to discuss current social media grievances and having hippie parents who moved between Texas and Mexico throughout his childhood. He had a BUSY social calendar filled with extra curriculars .... President of the drama club, student council, newspaper, prom committee... and that's only to name a few! Plus, we hear the incredible story of how his dad got kidnapped one day and still made it to his play on the same night (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest in case you're wondering).

Comedian and, let's say it, ICON Kate Berlant is on the pod this week joining the long list of past guests who were voted "Most Likely To Be On SNL". She tells Greta about discipling herself as an only chil, holding down the fort for the Indie Girls everywhere, and they bond over being bad test takers. She makes an impassioned argument for going to all-girls schools and talks about her first time doing stand-up at 17. Plus, a Senior Superlatives *EXCLUSIVE* news scoop on what Kate's next project is (you don't want to miss it).

Actor Zoe Lister-Jones joins Greta this week to take a musical trip down 2000's memory lane and bond over double-processing their bleached hair, not identifying as physically active in high school, and being obsessed with adult women. Zoe talks about her androgynous days of colorful or super-short hair and wild style, all while being scared of dating people and not even kissing anybody in her not-for-profit summer camp! Plus, a Classmates Corner steers the conversation into ridiculous stage makeup territory and the Guidance Counselor has more questions than answers.

Media queen and writer Alison Rosen joins Greta this week to bond over music they may, or may not, have known and having frenemies. In a groundbreaking turn of events, Alison is the first person to ever pick a Nirvana song as their intro song on the show! This episode is filled with lots of fuck-yous from Orange County in the early 90s and a particularly twisted Guidance Counselor story. They also reminisce on Jessica McClintock dresses and beanie babies... popular recurring themes of the pod!

Comedian heartthrob Langston Kerman joins Greta this week to talk about his self-proclaimed tacky style in 2005! He went from being a basketball star and dating the captain of the dance team to competing in the largest slam poetry competition in the nation... a twist! Langston comes with all perspectives; having been a high school dweeb, bully, and eventually a teacher. He and Greta reminisce on the legacy of Flavor Of Love and the talents of B2K. Plus a pretty "juicy" Classmates Corner submission leaves us all disgusted.

Comedian and Writer Bridger Winegar joins Greta to discuss the low-carb diets of the early 2000s and growing up as a Mormon in Utah. They bond over everything in high school being corny and give some teetering advice to a dear Classmate. Bridger talks about Mormon misconceptions (soda is ok and the underwear is cheap!) and being mistaken for a young girl when he worked at a retirement home. Plus, we find out who's responsible for Bridger not making it in Hollywood sooner!

Actor and author Maulik Pancholy joins Greta this week to talk about being a Mathlete and having barracuda mouth braces, which you know go hand in hand! He gives some shout-outs to mentors he had along the way and the wholesome pranks he'd pull on classmates with his friends. From struggling with perfectionism to drinking beers at the Jersey Shore, Maulik got the full high school experience! He was even written an original character part to play in Oklahoma... THAT'S star quality. Plus, a Classmates Corner where we are naming names!

Comedian and podcast host Eric Williams joins Greta this week to bond over the difficulties of being lefties and both having B'nai Mitzvahs. After a deep dive into the predicted food trends of 2008 (written in 2007), they chat about how bullies are actually obsessed with kids they pick on and they speculate on the kind of lover Ashton Kutcher is... which, haven't we all?

Writer Jill Gutowitz joins Greta to bond over their different cheating styles in high school, only after an extensive deep dive into what Miley Cyrus was up to in 2009. Jill bravely admits her fandom of Hannah Montana as a teenager and being the captain of the tennis team despite being the lowest ranked player. We love some school spirit! Also, remember having to ask to use the bathroom during class? Jill did it during our recording... throwback!
