While I'm getting ready to settle in for some Student Driver this past Sunday (and every Sunday, 7:30pm in The PIT Underground), Dana Shulman comes up to me and was, like, "Hey. Do you want to record a podcast?" Obviously. Yes. So, after their show on Sunday, all eight members of Student Driver who did the show on Sunday joined me in The PIT Attic to talk about their time as a team, their start in improv, what each of the comedy super powers are and so much more!

Jill Shackner is an actor, a singer, a voice artist, and so much more, and it was awesome to talk to her about her career in acting from her youth, the day she got the call and taped a sketch on Colbert within hours, the time she accidently sang the wrong words in an arena full of people, and what she's learned is most important to her, personally and professionally, after being in the industry as long as she has. Jill is currently doing voice over work for Cotton, so definitely keep your ears out for that, and you can learn more about Jill at JillShackner.com!
