Alamance is a rapidly rising Eugene-based rock and metal band. Alex, Ivan, Josh and Matt graciously let me join their practice studio in west Eugene. They are frequently releasing new singles, playing shows all around the PNW, and gaining ardent fans both locally and internationally.

Ben Gleib is among the most accomplished comedians still rising today, and his new special is a must-see! https://youtu.be/zJbQT-ZcPLw

Gleib has pioneered the wildly successful virtual "Nowhere Comedy Club" during Covid, hosted 210 episodes of his Emmy-nominated game show "Idiotest" (which trended on Netflix and is now on Pluto TV), continually co-hosted The Young Turks' Rebel HQ series, and was told by Larry King that he was "exactly the kind of person we need" when he ran for U.S. President in 2020. Ben Gleib has mentored countless comedians you know and love (like Bo Burnham!) and he's just a wonderfully insightful guy. Topics will be time-stamped soon.
