In Varela Veritas

Australians are usually not jerks

Ep. 3 La Cucaracha on a car horn

My buddy Chicago-theatre fixture Mike Accardo is in town with the prestigious Milwaukee Rep.  He came over for lunch and it turned into a ton of fun.  We chat about acting, bathroom door closed marriages, and we take a moment to remember The Candyman. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.  info@AndrewVarela.com @AndrewVarela525 Recorded 8/29

Good Morning Baltimore

Episode 2

I'm kind of getting the hang of using the recording software so this episode has a few more bells and whistles.  My buddy Tommy Hahn joins me on the screen porch and we discuss music, war movies, and the proper way to put crepe paper on a Big Wheel.  Recorded 8/18/16  Please leave me your feedback at Info@AndrewVarela.com

View from the Exurbs

Welcome to the View From the Exurbs Podcast!   Its what happens when a New York/Broadway veteran escapes into the hinterlands of the beautiful state of Wisconsin.  This podcast has my buddy Ryan joining me on the screen porch and we share theatre stories, what the real demise of millennials will be, and having Peter Dinklage fondle the butt of the guy next to me at a bar.

A note on the audio: this is actually done on my screen porch outside so you get to enjoy the crickets and wind chimes in their native glory.  That might change if enough people say its distracting.  Also, Im currently using a single mic for all participants, so just as soon as that sponsorship from Harry's razors  or Casper mattresses comes through, I'll be looking to upgrade the sound equipment. -V
