For this special A Little Extra Squee side quest, Rachel and Holly take a break from pop culture to check in on the current state of some local sports teams—because being a nerd and loving sports are absolutely not mutually exclusive. From highs and lows to painfully mediocre seasons, nothing is off the table. They also dive into a newer fandom obsession, Inter Milan football, and tangent into conversations about athletes who don’t know when to retire and why Olympic coverage in the U.S. keeps hiding behind paywalls (looking at you, NBC).

Tickets are now available for the Ivy Tech Community College-Bloomington student production of Nicholas Briggs’ Jekyll and Hyde, a stage adaptation of Robert Louis Stephenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Briggs’ production was first presented at the Theatre Royal Nottingham on August 1st, 2015. The Ivy Tech production marks its United States premiere following a successful regional tour of the United Kingdom. In his adaptation, playwright, Nicholas Briggs, the voice of the Daleks and Cybermen in Doctor Who, explores the dark story of Dr. Jekyll, who seeks to prove there is good and evil in every person. In doing so, Jekyll’s experiments, while proving to be true, unveil his evil alter ego, Mr. Hyde.
Director Russell McGee, Audio Editor at Big Finish Productions and On-Air Promotions Producer/Coordinator at WTIU-TV (PBS,) says, “I’ve always been fascinated by the duality of the soul and the idea that we all wear masks in life.” The fascination led him to explore the Roman deity Janus: the two-faced god who is guardian of portals and patron of beginnings and endings.
The Ivy Tech spring production of Jekyll and Hyde concludes a season in which Producer Paul Daily sought to explore the eternal question of evil with a wide range of approaches. Daily says, “This production ends the season on a note of warning. We may think we have control when playing with evil, when in reality it controls us.”
Jekyll and Hyde runs April 12-20, 2019. Student and Senior tickets are five dollars. Adult tickets are fifteen dollars. Tickets can be purchased at the Buskirk Chumley Ticket Office at 114 E. Kirkwood Avenue, or by visiting www.bctboxoffice.org.
Even with doing our show on a weekly basis, sometimes we still can't quite fit everything into an episode. So for a little extra squee we're sharing some interviews and book reviews! Enjoy!

Give a listen to just SOME of the highlights from Rachel's first ever foray into the world of role playing games. In this case it's the Doctor Who RPG, played at Who North America. With over 4 hours of audio, we've cut it down to just bits and pieces, so if you want to get the whole RPG experience, you'll need to play it yourself :-)

hope you enjoy these conversations and maybe learn a thing or two along
the way.
