Tonight we record our last episode

While it won't air for weeks, tonight we have our final recording session on our last episode, and we are in prime form. I've never seen the crew of Schadenfreude laugh more and have more fun with the show. It's like a pressure has been relieved. We shouldn't take ourselves so seriously more often. You may have noticed, and will notice as we near in on Episode 61* that we have been bending the medium quite a bit, from the full on parody of Twin Peaks to a single conversation spanning 30 minutes, as we finish up we'll get one more good old fashioned sketch-type show "1947 W. Argyle" and then we'll get a full narrative two-parter (another new idea for the show from the house of Schad), and then I think you'll really enjoy episode 61*. The amazing thing about 61* is that it's special, it's a last episode, but the amazing thing was, it was written LONG before we were cancelled, as a joke on the idea of being cancelled. Be sure to tune in, it's pretty special, we're having a great time recording it and tonight we look out over Lake Michigan from our Navy Pier balcony for the last time. I'm very excited about the future and so happy to see the Schad crew happy again. Not happy because we lost the show, but relieved that this incredibly hard work is over for the moment. In September we go away to write again, originally we were going to be writing 15 Episodes, now we will be writing "only" three things. An album, A TV Show, and a stage show. Very very excited.
