Show LIV

Show LIV of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* was performed at MadLab theatre in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, December 14, 2019 at 5PM. It was written by Jerome Wetzel and directed by Chase McCants. Dan Condo and Nathan Haley handled the introduction.

*Packer & Ratcliff* kicked off a three-part musical miniseries as they explored a previously-unseen dimension. The story was intended to be a backdoor pilot for a new segment, although it is unknown when the segment may premiere.

*Universe Journey* ended on a cliffhanger, *Privates* started a new case, and *The Topnotch Tangler* continued a major, ongoing arc, so this show was less stand-alone than most. *Privates* was a full-length segment, rather than the half-length it had been in previous installments.

*Larry: Life Before Death* concluded, with the character entering *The Topnotch Tangler* universe, where it's expected he will continue. *Universe Journey* saw the full version of "Safety Chief" performed, a song merely teased 16 months earlier in *Universe Journey* "The Musical."

Past troupe members Katelyn Hamilton and Amanda Iman guest starred this month via reusing audio from an earlier episode. Former troupe member Virgil Von Hartzel returned to guest in-person.

Narrator Chris Allen was unable to attend, so Darren Esler, creator of former network podcast *Squatch Smashers*, filled in. Foley artist and Foley performer Seamus Talty was also absent, with guest star Matt Schlichting subbing as the character Foley and Jerome running the sounds prepared by Seamus.

A trailer was released for this show.
