A variety. Taped for the future.

Stories, music, comedy, serial genre, and questions in the dark.

True and made up things.

"A real treat. Smart, funny, self-aware but not self-satisfied, it was great live theater that also makes for excellent radio." - Culturebot.org

"Both incredibly entertaining in person and as an online entity - featuring interviews, parodies, continued chapters of radio dramas, and storytelling among a variety of content for our listening pleasure." - Tunes for Tea

A hardboiled detective searches for Walter Benjamin, scripted Call In Shows, live theremin for suspense, and Dramatic Readings of the Internet. Each night the Fun Palace Players and host Jacob Zimmer weave together interviews and improvisation, silly sht and conversations about things that matter with special guest musicians, storytellers, and comedians. And after the show, local bands play, for your pleasure, Live at the Fun Palace.

Part theatrical experience, part podcast, The Fun Palace Radio Variety Show mashes-up historical vaudevilles and revues, the golden age of radio, The Muppet Show, and CODCO with doses of contemporary programs like This American Life, Spark, Radiolab, and Prairie Home Companion.
