QUESTION OF THE DAY:

What PTL cast member would you want to be?

(1:30) Journey Gunderson, The National Comedy Center in Jamestown, NY

Yinzers, it’s only a 2 ½ drive! Journey stops in to chat about the Center’s amazing exclusive collections, world-class exhibits, and cutting-edge technology featured throughout the massive attraction. All ages will be educated, inspired and entertained. And it’s important to note that kids and teens get in free throughout the summer. Visit www.ComedyCenter.org Facebook: NationalComedyCenter Instagram: @ntlcomedycenter and Twitter @NtlComedyCenter 

(10:26) Krista Kelley, Lead Producer & Producer Teddy Stevenson of PTL

Krista and Teddy are giving us a behind the scenes look of one of Pittsburgh’s most popular TV shows. Krista is a sports legend with a career covering the Olympics to the Daytona 500. She’s gone from NCAA tournaments to the NFL and more and now she’s helping share Pittsburgh stories all throughout Western PA homes. Teddy talks about his time working with popular reality shows like Selling Sunset, The Hills, The City and more. Plus, he tells us about that time he had to get a grand piano airlifted onto a mountain in Malibu in less than 24 hours notice, for Justin Bieber. No big whoop, right? Both are a huge reason why PTL is such an amazing locally produced TV show. 

(29:00) Jeff Roupe and Sean Collier

Emmy Award winner, fellow Golden Quill Winner and videographer for KDKA, Jeff Roupe & Sean Collier (Pittsburgh Magazine’s PM Film Editor, movie critic, Golden Quill Winner and comedian) are teaming up like a top wrestling duo to take on John & Rachael. Really, Jeff shares the dynamics of live TV, getting the most out of guests on-air and how he’s basically the ‘den dad’ of PTL. Sean covers film and highlights his time on the stage as a comedian, how he helps the up-and-comers and the new projects he’s working on. Find Jeff on Twitter @kdka2vidguy and find Sean Collier across socials @SeanCollerPGH 

(47:07) Mark Ferrari, Singer/Songwriter

One of our faves is back on the podcast to tell us about hanging with Kevin Bacon, opening up for the Bacon Brothers and how he teamed up with Corey Feldman. It was a wild night. Find out where Mark’s performing next at MarkFerrariMusic.com and on Facebook: MarkFerrariMusic
