Ep List Test

Episodes of Off Book typically run for about an hour. At the start of every episode, hosts Jessica McKenna and Zach Reino introduce the podcast, the musicians (typically Scott Passarella on the keyboard), the other people in the studio, and the guest(s). After a brief conversation with the guest(s), Scott Passarella cues them into a song and the musical begins. The episode has an intermission break halfway through, for ad-reads. Just before breaking for ads, one of the performers gives the musical its official title.
At the musical's conclusion, Jessica, Zach, and the guest(s) sing a standalone closing song. However, during remote recording in 2020 and afterwards, this ending segment has been cut from the format. On live episodes, the episode ends with theatre talkback in which Jessica, Zach, and guest(s) act as various cast and crew members for the musical they just improvised, answering the live audience's questions about the performance, and perform a song that was "cut" from the musical.
Two more formats have entered the rotation of Off Book. FamBand episodes (named for the family band: Scott Passarella, Brett Morris, and Dana Wickens) where they follow a loose "jam sesh" format wherein the hosts chat with one another, improvise songs, answer listener questions, and generally have a good time. The other is a monthly, long-form musical that spans multiple episodes.
Many of the older episodes are only available on Stitcher Premium. As the rights return to the creators, they were made available through the Off Book Clubhouse.
