Suzanne Lucas is known far and wide as the Evil HR Lady - which is sort of like referring to a mafia hitman as the murderous hit man. Yes, we know, taking people out is your job. Though in fairness to hit men, they’re more efficient than your typical HR professional, and leave a far lower body count.  But Suzanne is not your typical HR professional or, more precisely, HR consultant. Unlike most competent, well-meaning, albeit deeply unfunny HR people (with apologies to HR people), she brings humor to her work…and by that I don’t mean that she’s just funny, which she is...she actually uses improv comedy in her HR workshops, when she’s not doing it on stage.      Suzanne joins us today from her home in Basel Switzerland, the Borscht Belt of Mitteleuropa (well, not exactly), to talk about her passion for improv comedy, how she uses it in her consulting work - and, demonstrate her chops with Tom as her intrepid improv partner (he came prepared, though add a level of complexity for trying to do improv over a Zoom call!).

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

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.
