Between The Lines (with Ben & Eddie)
The world's first, best, and only comedy improv podcast. Improv genius Eddie Churnetski and standup comic Benton Crider take headlines from the subreddit /r/nottheonion and use the characters and settings to improvise long-form narrative scenes. Each week, the BTL news desk is also joined by a special interview guest, often someone incredibly famous or influential.
