What happens when two improv organisations in different parts of the world happen to have the same name - and then discover each other exist?
This is the story of The Improv Place, USA and The Improv Place, UK. Last week, after a series of conversations, one of the two organisations changed names. This episode tells the story of how these companies came about, and how they reached a resolution about their names.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
