Sarah Griffith

Sarah Griffith is a character in *Morning Show*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. When introduced, she is an adjunct professor at a local college in Columbus, Ohio.

**First appearance:** *Morning Show* #1.07 "We the People "

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

**Actor:** Samantha Stark

## **Story**

Sarah is one of two people selected for Pat Shock's first debate with normal citizens on-air. She stayed up all night prepping, and attempted to control the conversation right from the start. She is combative early on, too, favoring Amy's donuts for their "L.A. sophistication" over the local ones, and looking down on anyone who disagrees.

Sarah mostly supports President Anderson, calling her bold and decisive, willing to show her strength without being heartless. The one major disagreement being that Sarah thinks Anderson's proposed border wall is inhumane, cruel, and a violation of civil liberties, though she fails to expound upon that last point when asked. She worries it would block Mexican refugees fleeing the zombie outbreak. She wants to focus mostly on making Mexico zombie-free, but doesn't want to turn away those that need help, either.

When Anderson is criticized by Greg Hansley, whom Sarah sees as a political enemy, Sarah vehemently defends the first female president, accusing Greg of being sexist. Sarah thinks Anderson needs to be given more of a chance to lead, and doesn't believe an election needs to be held in 2020, as Anderson only took the Oval Office in mid-2019. Sarah isn't open to hearing Greg's reasoning, having already judged him. She brings up that no one gave Johnson this kind of guff when JFK died, although Anderson wasn't elected Vice President like Johnson was. While Greg thinks they aren't that far apart in their mindsets, Sarah disagrees, seeing his lack of total support of Anderson as reason enough to write him off.
Pee Wee

Pee Wee is Daniel Kravitz's battle axe in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*.

The axe is already present in Kravitz Antiques when Daniel becomes the Chosen One. It has ancient runes on it, and is remarkably well preserved. When Daniel gets his powers, he feels drawn to pick it up and carry it into battle ("Not Bored for Long").

Afterwards, Daniel throws it in the trash, but Abby Reynolds digs it out of the garbage and saves it. Shortly after, Daniel gives it its name and uses it to behead Grezit the Green ("Get Out"). While Daniel uses it successfully against many opponents, it is little more than a toothpick to the giant he fights ("Blumpkin & Felchy"). He even uses it to disable a bus engine ("Cult of B.O.B.").

"Sacrifice" is the eleventh episode of *Universe Journey* (season five) and the sixty-fifth episode of the series. It was performed on May 9, 2020 as the closing segment of Show LIX. It was released as podcast episode 297.

Lyle asks T.I.M. to take him to check in with his commander, as he was on secret assignment before the bombing and needs to report in. His cover was of a grocer, and Lyle had not confided to his fellow survivor, Ross, his identity or mission. Lyle's says his group wants to make the world better, and seems genuinely regretful of any collateral damage his people may have caused, including the death of Ross' sister. He reluctantly gets back out of T.I.M. in California when Litcone Firest orders him to at gunpoint. Lyle tries to tell them something important, but they disappear ("Sideways").
Show XLIX

Show XLIX of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* was performed at MadLab theatre in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, July 13, 2019 at 5PM. It was written by Jerome Wetzel and directed by Samantha Stark.

This was the program's fourth anniversary show and the first time the full 80-minute running time consisted of a single story: *Packer & Ratcliff* "The Pursuit of Packer."

The warm-up for the show, usually done by an outside group (mostly *The Good, The Bad, & The Geeky*), was instead performances of four *Radio Hour* musical songs, showcasing some of our favorite numbers from the past few years.

Noah Martin was scheduled to reprise his role as Donald Trump. Unfortunately, Noah was not able to make the show and was replaced by Joe Morales. Narrator Chris Allen also took the month off, and Ella Palardi subbed in.

Former cast member Amanda Iman was invited back to play a sizeable role as Ragina and a small part as Amber Showers. When she declined, Ragina was left out of the story entirely and Kristin Green once more played Amber, which funny enough, she also played in the original performance of the episode the reprised scene came from.

A trailer was released for this show.

The air conditioning in MadLab was out during this show, so fans were run during rehearsal and the stage lights were kept very low.

## **Segments**

There was just one segment, *Packer & Ratcliff* "The Pursuit of Packer." Characters from *Universe Journey*, *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, *Morning Show, The Scary Dead*, and *Pornstar Detectives* were encountered, but only in service to the *Packer & Ratcliff* story. Some actors played multiple roles.

## **Performers**

Absent troupe members: Chris Allen, Nathan Haley, Karen Perta

## **Guest Stars**

* Ella Palardi narrated the show. She was the sixty-fifth guest star and this was her first appearance.
* Virgil Von Hartzel reprised his roles as Detective Simms and Dr. Schwartz. He was the third guest star and this was his fifth guest appearance, his second after leaving the troupe.

## **Suggested Music**

Cast member Keith Jackson suggests songs that would go well with these episodes. The music was not used in the show, nor were any rights obtained.

 "I Predict a Riot"
 "In Between Time and a Race"
 "Something You'll Never Find"
March to War Part IV: Off Course

"March to War Part IV: Off Course" is the tenth episode of *Universe Journey*Season One and the tenth episode of the segment overall. It was performed on May 14th, 2016 as the opening segment of Show XI. It was released as podcast episode 41.

Written and directed by Jerome Wetzel

Previous episode: "March to War Part III: Another Round"

Next episode: "March to War Part V: Cliffhanging"

## **The Story**

Show LXXIII

Show LXXIII of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* was performed live at Red Herring theatre on Saturday, July 31st, 2021 at 5PM. It was written by Jerome Wetzel, Ashley Collins, and Megan Overholt and directed by Nick Arganbright. It was the first show in Red Herring's cabaret space, which IABD troupe members helped ready as a performance space.

This show featured only two segments, each double-length with a commercial or two in the middle. *The Topnotch Tangler* picked up from last month's cliffhanger, while *Universe Journey* began a new season. The *UJ* episode took place over a year to catch the story back up to the real timeline, a previous season spanning only about six weeks, making it out of sync.

For only the second time in the show's history, and the first pre-planned, there was an intermission halfway through. This was the first writing contribution of newer troupe members Ashley and Megan.

The intro was done by Jerome Wetzel and Shane Stefanchik. Marianne Dean Jackson was the only guest star and no auditions were held. Dan Condo began a hiatus due to his job. Anna Stiles assisted as Foley Technician. This show was Brendan Michna's last in his Foley run.

## **Segments**

* *The Topnotch Tangler* "Aftermath"
* Commercial "Balance" written by Ashley Collins
* *The Topnotch Tangler* "Aftermath Part 2"
* intermission
* *Universe Journey* "The Long Year"
* Commercial *Awkward Moments in Meeting History* "So" written by Megan Overholt
* Commercial *The Nubes* "Anniversary Special"
* *Universe Journey* "The Long Year Part 2"

## **Performers**

The show was narrated by Darren Esler, who also played Futan in *Universe Journey*. Brendan Michna served as foley artist.

Absent troupe members: Dan Condo, Wendy Parks

## **Guest Stars**

* Marianne Dean Jackson reprised her role as Dr. Noa in both parts of *The Topnotch Tangler*. She was the fourth guest star and this was her eleventh appearance.
* Anna Stiles served as foley technician, playing sounds arranged by the foley artist. This was her ninth show with the troupe.

## **Trivia**

* Even before learning this show would happen live in a theatre, Jerome had floated the idea of doing a regular monthly show rather than anything too special. That idea was roundly rejected by members of the cast, with the idea to use Georgie as a framework pitched. This went through a few different rounds of brainstorming before it arrived in the final iteration, with last month's *Topnotch* episode setting it up.

It is revealed that Daniel Kravitz is still dead and Josh Wallace will not be returning as a lead. It is scheduled to premiere in February 2022. It was preceded by a "Conspiracy Theories" miniseries of shorts.

## **Reruns**

Sometimes *Radio Hour* performs reruns of classic episodes for special shows, outside of their monthly ones, since time to write and rehearsal is limited. There are also released on the podcast feed. This happens less often for *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* than other segments due to its serial nature. This segment is performed at special events, but the installments are usually new and somewhat stand-alone, though still in-canon.

Here are all the re-runs performed for *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*:

## **Alternate Version**

The episode "Giant" featured familiar *Daniel Kravitz* characters set in the *Itsahlbend Theatre* dimension. It is not canon to the main series, but based on references, the characters are equivalent to late-Volume 4.

**Previous episode**: "Frank in the Bank, Jake in the Bed"

**Next episode**: "Dirty Laundry"

## **The Story**

Detective Jake Cotton is musing that he doesn't trust his new partner, Frank Berry. Which is prompting him to do shots in the rare off-hours not taken up by his girlfriend, Dame Judy Bench.

Trying to clear his head and feeling like he's close to a break in the case, he decides to visit Johan in prison. Johan isn't receptive, even as the detective assures Johan that Jake doesn't blame him for the theft and just wants more information. Jake asks who Johan works for, but Johan has been paid more to keep quiet than Jake can afford to bribe him. At a dead end, Jake leaves.

Jake unexpectedly runs into Frank in the parking lot. Frank claims to be looking for Jake since Jake didn't wait for him at the office, though Jake says he only left the office at 10AM and it's a Saturday. Jake doesn't tell Frank why he's there, merely mentioning that he visited an old acquaintance who isn't relevant. Frank offers a new witness for them to interview, even though Jake thought they'd already gone through Frank's whole possible witness list. They head across town to the pony racetrack, where Frank makes a quick call, and the two are ushered into the office of the owner, Jasper Whitehill.

Jasper isn't happy to see them, unless Frank has come to settle his tab. Frank has not. Frank asks about Theodore Berkton. Jasper admits Theodore was one of his best clients, but hasn't been around in awhile. Frank tells Jasper why. Jasper says Theodore had been around for years, but only made big bets in the past twelve months, which Jasper figured was just him cashing in his retirement. Jasper doesn't recall Theodore saying anything strange or indicating he worked for anyone other than Dame Cordelia Bench, as he wasn't exactly chatty. Jasper says he'll call if he thinks of anything else, but don't hold their breath. Jasper doesn't want Jake's number, not even to use as a detective, because any friend of Frank's isn't a friend of his. Jasper promises he will see Frank soon.

Leaving, Frank agrees with Jake this was a bust, even though Jasper is usually friendly. Just then, Judy shows up, having heard Jake was here. She wants sex. Frank tells Jake to enjoy his afternoon, promising to go back to the office to figure out their next step. Jake somewhat reluctantly goes with Judy, later musing that it's suspicious she showed up during work again. He also thinks Frank isn't as dense as he pretended to be today, and is sure they both (as well as Cordelia) have ulterior motives.

## **Guest Starring**

* Dan Condo as Johan
* Ryan Yohe as Jasper Whitehill
Morning Show (Season One)

The first season of *Morning Show* begins on the titular's show very first day on-air. About to launch as the flagship for a brand-new station, producer Shelly Meyers changes the format of the show at the last minute. Co-host Pat Shock is aware of the impending shift and ready to go, but other co-host Gus Goodall is very unhappy about the switch. As is the head of the network, their boss, Brooks Dylan.

Early in the show's run, though, a zombie apocalypse breaks out on the West Coast. While far away in Ohio, it affects the reporting the show does, including when Shelly expresses some unpopular opinions on the air. Still, she is considered for a government job as the debate moves close to home, even if the zombies don't.

Following the conclusion of the season, a Story Roundtable was released featuring the cast and creator discussing the episodes and what might come next.

Written by Jerome Wetzel

Directed by Jerome Wetzel

Previous episode: "Daniel & Grezit's Crazy Christmas"

Next episode: "Abby Reynolds, Chosen One"

## **The Story**

Rufus's niece, Ragina, lets herself into Kravitz Antiques, even though the store was locked. Grezit the Green's head wakes up and asks her to save him, but as soon as Ragina confirms her uncle is one of his captors, she says she cannot help.

Daniel enters, ready for a fight, but is thrown when he sees who the intruder is, having an immediate attraction to Ragina. They quickly bond over their dead parents.

They are interrupted as Abby arrives, repeating the moment from the end of "Children Will Not Listen." The sight of the two of them together throws Abby, and she does not confess her

feelings for Daniel as she had planned. Rufus, hot on Abby's heels, pulls Ragina aside, demanding she go home. Ragina, who had asked to come with Rufus on this assignment but was told it was 'too dangerous,' has secured a nearby apartment over a bakery and refuses to go, citing Abby's presence as proof of safety. Ragina then asks Daniel on a date right that moment, and he accepts.

After they leave, Grezit learns that Abby has feelings for Daniel and the Gahroo is disgusted by it. Abby grills Rufus about Ragina, and Rufus admits he wasn't there for his niece enough, but wishes she were less independent. Rufus is pretty sure she'll get bored and go home soon, though. Grezit takes this moment to reveal he is in a long-term committed relationship, and misses his beloved blumpkin very much. Abby and Rufus put Grezit's head in the backroom and go home.

Meanwhile, on the date, Daniel and Ragina are attacked by a monster with razon-sharp fangs and a wing-span bigger than a truck. Daniel slays the beast, and Ragina is turned on, watching him in action. She asks Daniel back to her apartment for sex, and though he is reluctant, she talks him into it.

## **Trivia**

**First appearance:** #1.01 "A Day"

**Number of appearances:** 1 (as of October 2021)

**Actor:** Nick Arganbright

## **Story**

When introduced, Nick seems like a lazy mooch and he's kind of mean to the other Directors. He doesn't gift any new Directors presents, but is fine stealing their gifts and signing cards for things he didn't buy. Like apples. He doesn't see Ascension Day as a big deal. Though he's friendly enough when a new Director shows up, and offers to show him to his room. Right before he leads the team in running away and making the new guy direct a show immediately.

Joey the Gnome was one of several monsters called together by Gigaxx in The Subworlds. Unlike the others, Joey didn't talk in third-person, his kind having gotten over that a decade ago.

They were disturbed to learn the U.L.P. (whom Joey refers to as 'The Watchmen')had been destroyed, and worried about safety and supplies. After listening quietly for a while, Joey assumed control of the group. He claimed the U.L.P. wouldn't hold up their end up the bargain, having already witnessed the U.L.P.'s fall through Zagor the Murderous' telepathic abilities. Joey claims that he talked to Kali, and it is in support of Joey's plans to call a parlay of the other tribal leaders, enemies and allies, to fight Daniel Kravitz.

However, when Monbo showed up, Joey, unlike the others, refused to bend the knee. He said he had never heard of Monbo, and said that she should follow him. In response, Monbo's followed Deli executed Joey and took over ("...And Sprinkles On Top").
Show XLV

Show XLV of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* was performed at MadLab theatre in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, March 9, 2019 at 5PM. It was written by Jerome Wetzel and Nick Arganbright, and directed by Nick.

Nick wrote the *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* episode in which we first meet some of the new U.L.P. recruits. These were played by a combination of troupe members and guest stars.

This show also featured the return of *Privates*, which took a month off, and a followup to last month's *Packer & Ratcliff*. Although the two stories were fairly self-contained, it was treated as a sequel and contained many references to the film *Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo,* the short-hand reference by many for bad sequels.

The final commercial was not a traditional commercial, breaking the fourth wall to encourage audience members to fill out a survey. This was done for logistical purposes, driving up survey participation, rather than for any story reason.

March 2019 marked the return from hiatus of Foley artist Seamus Talty. Cast member Wendy Parks and guest star Casey May were both unable to attend at the last minute, and their parts were recast for this performance.

A trailer was released for this episode.

Show LXXVI of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* was performed live at Red Herring theatre on Saturday, October 30th, 2021 at 5PM. It was written by Jerome Wetzel and directed by Kristin Green.

The show was billed as a Halloween special. It brought "dead" segment *Space Dirt* back from the grave, as well as completed commercials *Ghost Buddies* and *Cowboy Joe*. There was also a *Mystery Dream Team*, as is traditional for the October show.

Less Halloween-y were new episodes of *Universe Journey* and *The Topnotch Tangler*, as well as two *The Nubes* commercials, one serving as the intro of the show. The intro was originally written for the September show, but due to Wendy Parks being ill, it was bumped to October, which already had a *Nubes* commercial.

**Actor:** Shane Stefanchik

## **Story**

Despite already being a Technical Director, Shane had to take the universe journey through space to Ascend, as any Director did. Shane seemed humble and friendly, though a little out of his depth when the others Directors immediately assigned him a show upon his arrival and then abandoned him. The show seemed to go pretty well, though, with Shane helping cast members with lines, renouncing a disgusting script, and prompting the narrator to start curtain call as needed.

Shane was gifted a snack basket with apples, which he liked, as well as a long poem, which seemed to make him a bit uncomfortable.

Show II featured the first episodes of *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*and *The Topnotch Tangler,*adding cast members Nathan Haley and Wendy Parks to the troupe.

Wendy was actually listed as Wendy Webb in this and the next few shows. She married Aaron Parks in December 2015, prior to the podcast beginning, so she is only credited as Wendy Parks in audio releases.

Dallas Ray was asked to read a couple lines as unnamed waiter in *The Topnotch Tangler*. He added the French accent and birthed the recurring character of Frank, proving there are no small parts.

Samantha Stark originally wore a mask when playing The Topnotch Tangler, but found it too cumbersome to continue past the first couple of shows.

## **Story**

Roger Lark is first seen talking to Aidan Pearson at a networking event. Brooks Dylan brings Shelly Meyers over to introduce her to Roger, who is already aware of Shelly. They have a spirited exchange, where Shelly gives away far more than Roger. Aidan thinks Roger should run for mayor, and Shelly finds that interesting, as he has a strong track record and is involved in social services. She thinks he should run on a platform of petitioning the federal government for financial assistance for refugee resettlement, but keep strong local rule of the program. Aidan thinks he should run on healthcare.

Roger takes in both of their ideas without really expressing an opinion. Though he does find Shelly smart, expects to see more of her, and expresses interest in understanding her a bit further. Roger does shoot down Aidan a bit, too, but continues to listen to his thoughts.
