Some Rock 'n Roll to Jar Old Memories | The Slade Ham Experiment #105 | Slade Ham

How to Do Crowd Work | The Slade Ham Experiment #103 | Slade Ham

I throw some sections of crowd work up from this past week's shows at the Improvs across Texas. I try to narrate what's happening in my head as I do. There's a lot more to talking to the crowd than just making fun of people and asking what they do for a living. The goal is always to craft a bit, and to bring the chat to some closure so I can get back to the material.

Do We Live in a Computer Simulation? | The Slade Ham Experiment #100

I constantly wonder if we live in a computer simulation. Here is a story from a trip to Africa that, at the time, blew my mind. Now I just chuckle at the interconnected nature of everything, and how we can find patterns and meaning anywhere we choose to.

#97 The Process: How Something Gets Made | The Slade Ham Experiment

I try to walk through the last month's process on my new book. Making things can get messy and that often the thing that talks us out of doing them.
