The Water Cooler Podcast - The Water Cooler PodcastEpisode 119 - Greg Iwinski
This episode features guest Greg Iwinski, improviser and a student of comedy. Max and Greg have a discussion that is a bit more serious that previous shows. They discuss their thoughts on comedy and improv. Not just jokes, but the inner workings of what it takes and what comedians and improvisors think. Max and Greg are by no means experts, just some comedy fans sharing their thoughts (no need for scathing emails). 2011-10-0300 min
