DAUGHTER'S FATHER by Katie Newcomer: Back for the third time on The Townies Podcast because we just can’t get enough of delightful Miss Katie. Keep doing your thing, my love. You’re brilliant and we adore you.
THE LAST TIME I SAW MY DAD by Caroline Allen: An epically inspiring English professor at UCSB and a paint slinging visual artist with a range from political statements to the most delicate of dahlias. Caroline is as sarcastic and acerbic as she is dedicated to her students and the art of teaching. She also makes an excellent ghoul in a Haunted House -- just saying.
PERSIMMONS by Chris Palmquist: A recently returned -- true-blue, deep-down Townie in every sense of the word. Chris grew up here in the Ojai Valley; Nordhoff High School, The Ojai Playhouse, Ojai Ice-Cream and driving too fast through the illustrious Dip on the East End. Off to college and around the world -- we are all so glad he and his beautiful words have found their way back.

LIGHTNING STRIKES THRICE by Asa Learmonth: Proudly rocking a white spot smack dab in the middle of his curly brown hair, Asa watches more documentaries, wears more sleeveless shirts and drinks more coffee than anyone I know. An actor and a writer, he’s also the co-producer of our podcast.
DUST DEVIL by Jemi Reis McDonald: A soft-spoken whirlwind of thought-provoking material, Jemi sits herself down on the floor in front of whoever is reading a freewrite so as not to miss a single word. Insightful, generous, grounded, attentive, dedicated, meditative… I think Jemi’s spirit animal is a sea turtle.
OPENING ACT by Angelina Martin: Angelina has the energy of a thousand suns inside of her. Now living in Austin Texas, Angelina has her sights set on her very own standup show, hundreds of stick-n-poke tattoos, and world domination.
YOUNG NUN ON THE COME UP by Emma Bailey: I think Emma was a Dutch witch in her past life -- mixing potions in giant cauldrons. In this day and age, however, Emma is content to mix seasonal recipes over the stove. And hex her enemies.
