Ladies, ladies, ladies! LISTEN UP! We have a hot one for you because MOLLY FLETCHER is in the studio. If you ever wanted to hear from a gag worker final boss, NOW'S YOUR CHANCE! She's here to school us about how to act in the music business and reminisce about some of her most memorable moments onstage touring with Clean Bandit! 

Boy is this one REAL, podience. Two minutes in, we come up with sheer genius. After that you'll get an earful of curiosity as we ask hard hitting questions like: where is Is*s? what does a gag worker do on their off days? what was Caroline like with her snaggleteeth? We then transition into our latest operatic experience as audience members - spoiler alert, it was amazing. May we all be continued to be blessed by the most superior artform of all time. We share a ghost of gags past and a brilliant ghost of gigs present audio clip from a beloved friend. We end with some serious TEA surrounding a labor dispute amonst our dear musician collegues. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! 

Babies and Gentlemen! Gaggers and gagstresses! Boy do we have a special episode for you. That's right ...it's THAT kind of "special"! We feature incredible actor and clown, Ed Malone. In this episode Ed brings us into his world and teaches us a thing or two about what it means to clown around. He also talks about his major "thing" for Timotheé Chalemet. Tune in if you really want to know what makes us sick performers/actors/clowns tick. I'll give you a hint - it's not the free food. Oh and if you're a hot, available 25 year-old twink, DM us and we'll put you in touch. 

Greetings Podience! From telepathic podcasts that may or may not be AI, to football fandom as operatic performance art, the conversation spirals in the best way. Unpack why discomfort, confusion, and "hot laptop brain" are actually signs of growth. If your head hurts, congratulations—you're learning. Be cool. Do less. Observe. Let the hot laptop brain cool off. Reallocate your time. And never betray the secrets of the Gag Economy.

Greetings Podience! AND A VERY MERRY GIGMAS! Presenting Gag Economy's Holiday 2025 episode containing ghost of gigs past, present and future!

Our 2026 wish for you, freelancers: high-demand opportunities that bring you both financial freedom and creative fulfillment, and full tupperwares of gig food!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN - (trigger warning) it's one day until tax day! We know your freelance taxes are a nightmare! You're so close to giving up and filing an extension! We get it! BEEN THERE - DONE THAT! This year, however, we managed to sneak in right before the deadline so that we could have your tax questions ANSWERED. In this pod, we tell you what it's like to be free of gig FOMO, we tell you what it's like to encounter a hoard of carefree boomers in a train on the way to a travel gig and, finally, we end with some priceless tax advice. 

HAPPY WEDNESDAY, GAGGERS! Congratulations on making it this far into 2025. FYI, in case your body has crusted over in that basement urban hovel of yours, it's almost spring! And you know what that means??? WEDDING SEASON! Wedding season is nigh and it's coming for you. So commiserate with us as we conjure up that great third thing that will free us all. But first, two write-in gags. LOVE U! XOXOXO

Well well well...what do we have here? Looks like our favorite ultra niche meme curator MAXIM MEMEGEROV (@maxim_memegerov) is back in our boudoir. A LOT has happened since our first collab...address changes, spouse schucking, gig having. In this episode, we discuss our new lives, what it's like to gig in the midwest, what it's like to have a "REAL JOB" and much more. We dish hot takes, crack jokes and ask pertinent hard-hitting questions like "what would your serial killer name be?" or "FMK this classical soloist" and "where is YOUR fame spot?" This episode is best enjoyed on a walk, in a car or right before your first theraputic ketamine session. XOXOXO.

Ladies assemble! Take out your rollers and pack that extra makeup wipe because GAG ECONOMY IS BACK! Welcome to the first episode of season 2! Wellness abound, vibe shifts galore, Whac-a-mole but with gigs...it's all happening, PEOPLE! In this episode we talk to return guest, TAYLOR EIGSTI, fresh off his second Grammy win. If you've ever wanted to know what it's like on that glamorous day - this pod is FOR YOU! We get TMI, we do FMKs, we get the down and dirty and hopefully this brings us one step closer to the EGOT that the Gag Economy universe has been dreaming about. 

PODIENCE! Welcome to our new era! We are so happy to usher you into our new season. We talk "WELLNESS," we talk, "HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR DELICATE, MUSICIAN BODY".
