Ian Insect Is Evil Ep 30 "Vulnerability" feat. Midge Crickett and Sikes

The inspiration for the Midge Crickett song "This Podcast Sucks"!!! Two podcasts become one as guest host Abby Denton chats with Pittsburgh's greatest chanteuse Midge Crickett and Ian shares a wavelength with Epicast fam, Sikes.

Ian Insect Is Evil Ep. 28 "Mistakes" feat. Michael Quigley and Jenna Sivak

Runnin' bits and chompin' crabcakes, Michael Quigley and Jenna Sivak (and guest host Abby Denton!) create a touching, vulnerable environment as they touch on openness, the nature of trust and the muse of inspiration when creating for children. They don't touch children.

Ian Insect Is Evil Ep. 27 "Segments" feat. Vince Charming, Sean Kendle & Nick Miller

With this episode, the show is finally put on a long leash. Sean Kendle ("In Poor Taste" podcast), magician Vince Charming and Epicast's own Nick Miller try our best to alienate every listener, calling out everyone from anarchists to malaria carriers. It's gonna be a mixture, it's gonna be dirty. How long can you last?

Ian Insect Is Evil ep 26 "Synesthesia" feat. Hannah Altman and Brian Crawford

Live in front of an unwitting studio audience! Well, for a couple minutes. Anyway, passion comes up and so does relaxation. Brian and Hannah discuss the in-between space and the moment that you bite the bullet. The thoughts and views expressed during this broadcast represent! They represent hard. [1:25] if there is a chance of getting this up this afternoon or tonight, that'd be ideal since this ep is a little time sensitive to this weekend

Ian Insect Is Evil Ep 25 "Up" feat. Jeremy Caywood, Kevin O'Brien & Jeffrey Williams

What a discussion! The development of art and artists and the self-assessment that ensues! Once we finally define a facet of art as altruistic communication, we switch to kitties. And as always, Ian ends up taking pot shots at John Ruskin.
