Grace Wilson

Grace Wilson was the one hundred and sixth guest star in *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. She appeared six times in fourteen months before making an honest troupe out of them by joining the troupe in March 2023.

Hailing originally from Alaska, she became an Ohio resident at the end of 2019. She then opened her own salon, Midnight Sun Beauty, in January 2021. It is now one of the top rated salons in Grandview Heights.

Immediately, Grace became enthralled in Columbus‘s improv scene. Stand up comedy has also been something she has explored, from open mics to preforming for modest crowds.  While getting most training in improvisation, musical theater, and traditional acting, voice acting has always remained a passion. She loves to cook, bake, sew, design, write, and participate in any other creative mediums she can get her hands on!

Grace is proudest of her partner studying Biochemistry at OSU and of her two sons, Inigo and Fezzik, the giant beautiful Maine Coon cats that rescued her.

**Actor:** Wayne Jay

**Appearance:** #1.04 "Loyalty"

## **Story**

Fred is hired to fill in for Jerry La Fontaine playing Bazzle in a cartoon series for Fact Broke Studios. It is likely Fred is only hired to exert pressure on Jerry, as his voice is not used in the actual airing of the show. Fred is not told the details of his hiring ahead of time, and doesn't know who Jerry is.

Fred is a friendly guy, excited to meet Ben Callihan, Logan Cooper, and director Laura Fennell. He's happy to take any direction, and thrilled to be getting paid to voice act, even if it won't be broadcast ("Loyalty").
Awkward Moments in IABD History

*Awkward Moments in IABD History* is a commercial segment in *It's All Been Done Radio Hour.* It was created by Megan Overholt and features awkward moments that didn't actually happen behind-the-scenes in the show, but could have. Its format and style was based on her earlier series, *Awkward Moments in Meeting History.* She wrote the first episodes (although Jerome ended up scheduling one he wrote prior to hers).

**Actor:** Nathan Haley

## **Story**

A flamboyant casting producer was put in charge of choosing between Ben Callihan, Logan Cooper, and Jerry La Fontaine to star in Fact Broke Studios' next big animated film. He was kind and sympathetic to Jerry when Jerry's voice seized up, calling him Jare-Bear. He even listened to Emily Cooper's audition tape when Logan asked. Ultimately, he chose to cast Emily instead of any of the three men and was promptly fired by the studio.
Brightside, Ohio

Brightside, Ohio is the town in which the first volume and a half of *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*, takes place. Kravitz Antiques is located there. It can be assumed from the theme song that Brightside is a suburb of Columbus, Ohio.

Not much is known about the layout of Brightside. There is an area with several shops in close proximity, including Kravitz Antiques, a 'lovely' ice-cream shop, and a furniture store. This area suffered damage and several strange murders. There are also a couple of bars nearby on Main Street, and at least several apartments in the area. The edge of town is walkable from this portion and includes an abandoned warehouse. There are traffic cameras, including outside of Kravitz Antiques. Down the block from Kravitz Antiques is Brightside High School, which has a football field.

While there is not a lot of nightlife, Brightside does have an old movie theatre and mini-golf ("Ragina").

Daniel and Abby's apartments, Rufus' flat, Kravitz Antiques, and Daniel's training center are all within a few blocks of each other, near the downtown area.

Razzle, Frazzle, and Jeff

Razzle, Frazzle, and Jeff are characters in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour.*

**Appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #1.10 "Three's Company"

**Actor:** Keith Jackson (Frazzle), Seamus Talty (Razzle), and Virgil Von Hartzel (Jeff)

Razzle, Frazzle, and Jeff were three spiky, red demon brothers. Jeff has the ridiculous name, by demon standards, but is strong and vicious. Frazzle is the smartest of the three, being the only one who knows what personification is, and is even in combat with Grezit. Razzle is the de facto leader.

The brothers embarked on a quest to kill Daniel Kravitz, though mentioned their father, who raised them, would be upset if they killed anyone else. Unless that anyone else was protecting Daniel. Their mission came to an end when, during battle, Grezit the Green slayed Frazzle and Daniel beheaded the other two ("Three's Company").

Their deaths broke their father, who never recovered from their loss. Their mother, Monbo, forced the monsters of the Subworlds to become an army and attack the U.L.P. in revenge. (Or, revenge for Razzle and Frazzle, since she didn't like Jeff.) This attack led to Monbo's death, but also to the death of Daniel Kravitz and many other U.L.P. members ("With Great Power...").

## **Rerun**

This episode received a non-canon re-run in IABD Classic 2. Frazzle was changed to female and voiced by Karen Perta, while Nick Arganbright took over Jeff. Keith Jackson was moved to Razzle only because writer Jerome forgot which part he played previously.

Dr. Schwartz

Dr. Schwartz is a character in *Morning Show*, *Universe Journey*, and *Pornstar Detectives*, segments of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. Although the three versions of Schwartz seen are different characters, all are portrayed the same and by the same actor. It is quite possible there are other versions of Schwartz in other dimensions that have a similar story, although it is known that the outbreak did not happen across all thirteen dimensions, at least not at the same time and in the same manner.

**Dimension DD Appearance:** *Pornstar Detectives: 2019* "The Bigly, Huuuge Mess"

**Dimension A Appearance:** *Packer & Ratcliff* "The Pursuit of Packer"

**Dimension AAA Appearance:** *Packer & Ratcliff* "The Pursuit of Packer"

**Actor:** Virgil Von Hartzel

## **Story**

In all three dimensions, Dr. Schwartz is the foremost researcher on zombie viruses and their cures for the International Zombie Prevention Federation, or I-Zpf. While many people consider that group to be a bunch of crackpots on the internet talking nonsense, he caught the attention of each respective dimension's Donald J. Trump, who was president in all. Trump called him 'Schwartzy.' Schwartz was brought to Santa Samantha with the zombie virus and cure, which he developed himself, and in all three cases, Trump knocked the virus vial out of Schwartz's hands. The virus interacted with the carpet fibers on the podium, became airborne, and started an outbreak.

It is unknown if Schwartz's cure worked in any of the dimensions.

### **Dimension AAA**

Dr. Schwartz was seen in this dimension appearing with Trump at a press conference. Trump lied repeatedly about what caused the outbreak and who to blame. Dr. Schwartz contradicted most of those lies, including stating he did not have a gang of Democrats, angry or otherwise, and had not met President Obama, though he would like to. Trump called him Sad Schwartzy, blaming Schwartz for the outbreak.

Arnold Armstrong

Arnold Armstrong is a character on *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. He tends to speak without thinking at times.

**First appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #3.13 "Daniel Kravitz of Antique Shop vs. Geralt of Rivia"

**Number of appearances:** 2

**Actor:** Chase McCants

## **Story**

Arnold is one of the inaugural group of U.L.P. trainees on the ranch in Volume 3. He was not heard from by the audience until late in the volume.

We meet Arnold as he participates in a debate as to whether Daniel Kravitz or Geralt from *The Witcher* would win in a fight. Arnold favors Geralt, though admits Daniel has power of past Chosen One that he hasn't tapped into yet, and which could make a difference. Arnold also points out that Daniel Kravitz would be 'of Brightside,' not 'Antique Shop,' but backs off when confronted.

Arnold is kind and tries to include Novir, who has no interest in participating. While praising Geralt's girlfriend, he inadvertently implies Abby Reynolds is not super hot and powerful, which he quickly tries to walk back. He also accidentally mouths off to Daniel, but Daniel lets a nervous Arnold off the hook.

At the end, Arnold asks if they think Rufus Reginald Rochester or Giles from *Buffy the Vampire Slayer* is a better mentor, favoring Giles himself ("Daniel Kravitz of Antique Shop vs. Geralt of Rivia").

Arnold is with Abby soon after the attack by the monsters on the ranch. She orders him to search the ranch's buildings for Daniel. Arnold is unsuccessful, and is eventually cornered by Zagor the Murderous. Arnold is so scared that he wets his pants, but refuses to flee, no matter how much the monster threatens him. Alexis Augustus Armentrout shows up and charges Zagor doesn't want to hurt anyone. Arnold suggests locking Zagor in a cell (after giving Zagor a key) until this is over, and Zagor agrees. That doesn't go quite smoothly, as Fran gets out and locks Arnold up, too. Trapped, Arnold misses the rest of the fight, and becomes one of only four trainees to survive ("With Great Power...").
It's All About Zee Part 2

"It's All About Zee Part 2" is the tenth episode of *Universe Journey* Season Two and the twenty-second episode of the segment overall. It was performed on March 11th, 2017 as the third segment of Show XXI. It was released as podcast episode 98.

Written and directed by Nick Arganbright

Previous episode: "It's All About Zee Part 1"

Next episode: "City of the Past That, In a Way, Exists Forever"

## **The Story**

A god-like being plays games with Kahkay and some of the bridge crew.

## **Guest Stars**

* Colleen Dunne as Zee
* Joe Morales as Will
* Heidi Yang as Hermes
Calleth Penrose

Calleth Penrose is a character on *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. He is mysterious, but not quite magical, and works with those in touch with the supernatural world. He has a beard and drives an old, well-maintained car.

**First appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #3.03 "Recall Me, Maybe"

**Number of appearances:** 1 (as of March 2020)

**Actor:** Chad Anderson (1st episode), Ben Neidenthal (rest)

## **Story**

Calleth is first seen in flashback working with the old U.L.P. leaders Cyril Davies and Bertram Oswalt Babbit to identify recruits for their organization. It is with them at the Kiev Pechersk Lavra monastery complex in Ukraine where he meets Novir. Touching Novir's chest, Calleth predicts a cryptic message:

*A kingdom under rubble. From the ashes, light eventually residing in the darkness. The harbinger of a great battle. The boy will be a mighty warrior. The gods foretell much lay in store of the heart of his future."*

Years later, Calleth visits the new U.L.P. (with urgency) in Kalispell, Montana to help them put protection over their ranch (for pay). He does so, putting a ceremonial blessing over the ground by tracing (but not walking) the perimeter, which they believe to fortify existing security. It takes him roughly 90 minutes to do so. His type of works takes supplies, which his clients typically procure for him.

In the process, he encounters Novir, who seems drawn to him. While Calleth doesn't acknowledge his connection with Novir to the group, he does whisper something to Novir before leaving ("Recall Me, Maybe").

## **Background Info**

Calleth seems to take no sides in the U.L.P.'s internal struggles, as he has worked with both the old and new regime, and both seem to hold him in high regard. He is not a member of the group. Rufus Reginald Rochester and Alexis Augustus Armentrout are aware of his past work for the group, and are enthusiastic about his return, displaying no concerns over his allegiances.

What Calleth does is not quite magic, according to sorcerer Alfredo. But it is mystical and respected by those in the know of the supernatural ("Recall Me, Maybe").
It's All About Zee Part 1

"It's All About Zee Part 1" is the ninth episode of *Universe Journey* Season Two and the twenty-first episode of the segment overall. It was performed on March 11th, 2017 as the opening segment of Show XXI. It was released as podcast episode 96.

Written and directed by Nick Arganbright

Previous episode: "Sneaking Around"

Next episode: "It's All About Zee Part 2"

## **The Story**

A god-like being kidnaps Kahkay and some of the bridge crew.

## **Guest Stars**

* Colleen Dunne as Zee
* Kristin Green as Ens. Gathos

## **Trivia**

* The character of Zee was inspired by *Star Trek: The Next Generation*'s Q. Nick wanted to name her Z, but Jerome insisted on Zee.
Itsahlbend Theatre

*Itsahlbend Theatre* is a segment in *It's All Been Done Radio Hour.* It was the ninth segment created for the show by Jerome Wetzel, premiering in February 2018. It is meant to showcase the varied voice talents of a troupe member who did not yet have a lead role in any segment, Dan Condo. A snow storm caused Dan to miss the first performance, and Shane Stefanchik filled in at the last minute.

The premise of *Itsahlbend Theatre* is to provide a twist on classic tales, such as fairy tales and fables. In each, the host tells his version of the story, stepping into a lead role himself. His moral or message, given at the end, is never what the original was known for. Each episode is stand-alone.

Most episodes (in theatre shows, not streaming shows) have several bits of music, including the original theme song. The theme and any new bits are composed and performed by Kristin Green. She sometimes uses non-copyrighted pieces as well.

In 2020, condensed Teeny-Weeny episodes, those running commercial-length, joined the line-up in between full-lengths.

## **Characters**

### **Main Characters**

* Sir Hubert Donald Rattigan Fievel Norwahl, Esquire, III played by Dan Condo. Hubert is pretentious, pompous, and always knows best. Hence why he is bringing you his own take on tales you're already familiar with.
* Honorable Archduke Edmund Teenybopper Archibald Stoker Betelgeuse Crimson Ghidora Hall the 9th played by Shane Stefanchik. A lot like Hubert, but creepier. Starting with episode 15, he subs in when Hubert isn't available.
Dr. What

Dr. What is a character in *Life With a Voice Actor*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*.

**Actor:** Chase McCants

**Appearance:** #1.03 "The Bathroom Remodel"

## **Story**

Dr. What is a therapist brought in by the producer of the show-within-a-show to get the six leads talking about themselves and their relationships. He seems to be actually trying, coaching them to be kind to one another and share their positive feelings about each other. However, considering the therapy session ends with Terry La Fontaine ranting and Jerry La Fontaine demanding a divorce, it is unknown if Dr. What was actually trying to help them or not ("The Bathroom Remodel").

## **Trivia**

* Chase played lead role Dr. Who Grappa for several seasons of *Universe Journey*. Samantha Stark wrote this part and named him in honor of Chase's previous character.
Humphrey Jacobs

Humphrey Jacobs was a character in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. Humphrey was easy-going and agreeable.

**First appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #3.02 "Mind If I Smoke?"

**Last appearance:** *Packer & Ratcliff*  #3.11 "The Pursuit of Packer"

**Number of appearances:** 2

**Actor:** Dan Condo

## **Time in the U.L.P.**

Humphrey was one of fifteen trainees who lived in dorms and took classes at the U.L.P. ranch in Kalispell, Montana in 2019. While he didn't live in The Woodchipper, he hung out there with fellow trainees Corey Addison, Kai Akane, and Stephanie Garcia. He tried to stay out of personal drama.

Humphrey went along with Corey's plan to summon an enenra easily enough. Humphrey kept a cool head when the being proved malicious and tried to stop it ("Mind If I Smoke?"). After that incident, Humphrey didn't spend much time with Corey ("Recall Me, Maybe").

The young man was one of those who accompanied Abby Reynolds to Columbus, Ohio when a crazy person with portals let loose zombies in the city. Tragically, Humphrey was eaten by said zombies during the mission (*Packer & Ratcliff* "The Pursuit of Packer").

## **Trivia**

* Performer Dan Condo was given free rein to choose Humphrey's accent. Canadian was a good choice, due to the character's agreeable nature.
Deli

Deli is a character on *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. He is a monster from The Subworlds subservient to Monbo.

A**ppearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #3.02 "Mind If I Smoke?"

**Number of appearances:** 2 (as of March 2020)

**Actor:** Dallas Ray

## **Story**

Deli serves a monster named Monbo, as was tasked with finding Daniel Kravitz for her. He failed at that task, despite looking high and low. When Monbo declares she intends to kill the Chosen One, Deli worries if that will anger Kali.

Deli does not particularly care for E'Kjo, and thinks E'Kjo's brother, I'Kjo, was tougher ("Mind If I Smoke?").

When Monbo confronted another group of monsters organizing with a similar goal, Deli went with her. Joey the Gnome tries to get Monbo to fall in line behind him, and Deli beheaded Joey ("...And Sprinkles On Top").

At some point, Deli encountered Alexis Augustus Armentrout in the Subworlds. Deli tries to kill Alexis, and Alexis killed Deli first ("Words You Don't Want to Hear.")

* Some of the improv-ers, like Stephen, Nikki, and Matt, have been recurring guests and are familiar with the characters ahead of time. Josh and Pete were not, and were not told about the superhero angle... though they may have figured it out.
* Jerome coached Sam and Keith ahead of time with talking points, knowing the type of questions that would be asked, but much was on them, too. Sam planned to dance around the superhero topic, as she did.
Show LII

Show LII of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* will be performed at MadLab theatre in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, October 12, 2019 at 5PM. It was written by Jerome Wetzel and Nick Arganbright, and directed by Dallas Ray. Nick and Jerome co-wrote the *Daniel Kravitz* segment*.*

Six troupe members were absent, five of them attending weddings. This made Show LII the smallest-cast show since the first few months of the program. Nick Arganbright and Karen Perta were among those missing, but pre-recorded lines for *Mystery Dream Team*.

**First appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #3.14 "Maneuvers"

**Number of appearances:** 1

**Actor:** Rachel Bobbitt

## **Story**

Marta, posing as a human dealer of magical things, appears as a lean woman with a large facial scar and missing a finger and a half. She meets Rufus Reginald Rochester, Voldare, and Grezit the Green at a bar some miles outside the U.L.P. ranch in Kalispell, Montana. She is supposedly there to make a trade with Daniel Kravitz, and recognizes immediately that Voldare is not him, despite appearances. She is familiar with the team, including recognizing Grezit non-visually, and agrees to stay when Rufus says he has something that will make it worth their time.

After the monsters get drunk, Marta, who can hold her alcohol, launches a sneak attack on Rufus, revealing she is not human and has talons, and is accompanied by E'Kjo. Grezit and Voldare, despite their inebriated state, step in. Marta fights Rufus and manages to impale his shoulder, but she is knocked down Voldare's tail as he transforms into a large reptile. Rufus holds Marta off with a spell, but when Rufus is injured and distracted, she flees. They don't pursue her ("Maneuvers").

Unlike past re-run shows, this one was made up of recent episodes, all from the past year, one even being from the live show performed the day before, Show XLVIII. This was designed to hook people into current storylines, though some dialogue that was dependent on other episodes was cut to make them seem more stand-alone

Boxland

Boxland Media, LLC started was founded in 2015 by now-husband-and-wife team Ben Neidenthal and Jessica Entis after both were laid off from their creative jobs in the same week. Recognizing the trend in the creative agency world of talent “aging out” and having built a portfolio of freelance clients, they embarked on a radical idea... to *become* the agency and never age out.

Boxland is named for a short film that Benjamin Neidenthal and Jessica Entis completed together in 2011, called “A Sphere in Boxland,” which went to numerous international film festivals, including the Columbus International Film and Video Festival, and the LA Shorts Festival. “A Sphere In Boxland” is about a character living in a place called Boxland and he is the only Sphere. One day, the character is fired from his job, and must find somewhere he belongs. He embarks on a long journey and eventually finds out that he is not alone... The couple released the film at their wedding on September 10, 2011.

Formed as miniature creative agency, Boxland retained an automotive client (Byers Auto) who remains a regular customer, and a host of additional clients as well. At opening, they offered video production, commercial production, 2D and 3D animation services, graphic design, branding design, and podcasts.

At first, their creative messaging was geared toward what was, at the time, the far off future of 2020. “By the year 2020, 80% of all web traffic will be video-based” was the go-to opening line Ben would use in networking meetings and elevator speeches. When 2020 actually came, the actual numbers were far, far bigger...

In 2020, the Coronavirus Pandemic changed the way the entire world did everything. For the first time in history, people were stuck at home and they had the technology to make that separation from others more bearable. Business could be conducted from home, and effectively. And it sparked a modern creative renaissance, people finally had time to start their creative projects, their films, or YouTube channels, or podcasts... and Boxland was perfectly positioned to help facilitate those dreams.

Boxland Academy began in 2021 with their lifelong friend Krista Stauffer, and began offering acting classes, consultations, voice over classes, and improv. The classes, thanks largely in part to Krista’s notoriety, became very popular. Since 2021, they've expanded their offerings and maintained steady enrollment.

In August 2022, *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* moved to Boxland as their new performance space. It was a time of change for Boxland, as it expanded and moved to a new space. A couple of IABD troupe members were hired on the Boxland staff, and Ben joined the It's All Been Done Radio Hour troupe.

Now, Boxland Academy and Boxland Media are part of a larger project, called Boxland.

I'Kjo

I'Kjo is a character in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour.*

**Appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #2.09 "Attack on the Homestead"

**Actor:** Nick Arganbright

**Status:** Dead

I'Kjo is introduced as he destroyed the door of Kravitz Antiques, the third in a wave of monsters that virtually destroys the shop. It isn't clear how I'Kjo does this, being small and furry, or what his weapons are. But he can slash deeply and severely, and is described as ferocious.

I'Kjo is immune to magic. This fact becomes prevalent as Josh Wallace blocks the monsters with spells so his friends can escape. But I'Kjo, not being affected, attacks Josh and kills him, ruining his face and leaving him a bloody mess. It takes very little time for Josh to bleed out and die.

Daniel Kravitz almost immediately kills I'Kjo in revenge.

Show VI

Show VI of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*was performed at Packrat Comics in Hilliard, Ohio on Saturday, December 12th, 2015 at 7PM. It was written and directed by Jerome Wetzel.

The program titled this show the "2015 Christmas Show," and all segments were holiday-themed. While some efforts have been made to repeat a holiday special, subsequent years haven't been as committed to the holiday as this performance.

This show forwent the traditional intro and outro. Instead, there was a framework story in which fictional characters Daniel Kravitz and Grezit the Green from *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*were accidentally sent to Packrat Comics because of a spell gone wrong. They were 'forced' to host the show, segments and commercials, until, at the end, they returned back home.

This live show concluded the *Cowboy Joe* commercial arc pretty definitively, though Joe has appeared a few more times in various ways.

Packer and Ratcliff, who generally had the second commercial slot in the early days, interacted with Daniel and Grezit, rather than having their own stand-alone spot.

This was Ryan Yohe's last appearance as a guest star, being promoted to troupe member following this show.

Cast member Wendy Parks, still Wendy Webb at this time, missed the performance because for her bachelorette party. She would be married and change her name prior to the podcast launch and the next live show.

The crowd at this show was so large, filling the small room where it was performed, that *Radio Hour* began looking for another venue following this performance. The monthly show would only stay at Packrat Comics for two months in 2016 before moving to MadLab theatre.

## **Segments**

* framework *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* "Daniel & Grezit's Crazy Christmas"
* *Universe Journey* "Homesick for the Holidays"
* *The Topnotch Tangler* "Ho, Ho, Oh No!"
* Commercial *Cowboy Joe* "Electric Chair"
* *Pornstar Detectives* "And the Case of the Missing Hans"

## **Performers**

This show was narrated by Chris Allen.

Absent troupe members: Wendy Parks

## **Guest Stars**

* Virgil Von Hartzel played Evil Santa in *The Topnotch Tangler* and Hans in *Pornstar Detectives*. He was the third guest star and this was his second appearance,
* Ryan Yohe played Grezit the Green in the framework story. He was the second guest star and this was his third appearance.
