July 2, 2015: Allen McRae/Gene O'Neil/Outside the Box/Janet Spurr

Max and Matt with Georgia Lyman of Outside the Box

Get ready to laugh, because, Allen McRae of ImprovBoston joins us to talk about his ongoing show, "Comedy, America!" The show debuted last year to a sold-out crowd, and it's back! We talk about how last year's show was such a success, the plan for this and future years, and do an in-depth analysis of the Goosebumps book series. Seriously, we do that.

Author Gene O'Neil is next, and we learn about his book, "An Upraised Chalice." Gene chronicles near-death experiences and worldwide journey to the most sacred places across the globe, and how these encounters can brought him to a closer understanding of what lies beyond this world.

Two years ago, we had the privilege of attending the first Outside the Box festival, a week-long experience of local artists and performers of all kinds. And this year it's back!
We talk to Artistic Director Georgia Lyman, one of the many minds behind this eclectic and exciting showcase. Learn about the more than 100 artists to be featured at this year's OTB.

Author Janet Spurr closed out the show with her book "Beach Chair Diaries." Whether it was last month or 10 years ago, odds are that everyone has fond memories of the sun, sand, and surf. Janet's book captures her many experiences from Maine to Maui.
