A Slice of the Shiny Podcast

About Me

Boom Chicago's weekly interview show mixes the irrepressible charm of actor Rob AndristPlourde with a rotating roster of Boom performers, rock bands, published authors, and stars of stage and screen. It's the comedy scene behind the comedy scene, recorded live in the actor's clubhouse - The Shiny.
