Half Alive with the La Brothers by Attic La and Basement La

Episode notes

Though befuddled by technical problems due to their shaky [pirated] internet service, the La brothers still manage to interview classically-trained star of the stage and screen Xerxes Barnmuster-Weston. As luck would have it, Xerxes and Basement La knew each other from the early days in New York and then Hollywood, where Xerxes snagged all the good parts, leaving Basement La playing roles calling for "large janitor." This opens some old wounds...

Guest podcaster Dr. Manuel Simons as Xerxes. Theme music "The Trapezist" by Quincas Moreira.
