Everybody's a Podcaster Feat. "Terry Gross"

It's the end of the year, the end of the podcast, and the end of whatever was left in the fridge. Join us as the BIT Comedy Network wraps up 2025 with one final, chaotic, heartfelt, and slightly undercooked episode of Dinner Party.

What's on the menu?

🎧 A "Podcast Party" hosted by the Double Ls (Luke & Laura), where microphones are hot and egos are hotter.

🐟 A shady fish-based gift from aquarium moguls Jim and Janet of "Something's Fishy."

🏛️ An unexpected guest: actual NPR royalty Terry Gross shows up, and things get even weirder.

🎮 Dean and Thea, the Bitcoin siblings, attempt to evangelize crypto in exchange for gas money and a meal.

🐠 A tragic culinary climax involving a 12-inc halibut, a mayor, and one very regrettable dinner choice.

Unforgettable Highlights:

🥤 Mr. Sunshine: gift, friend, snack

🌍 Terry Gross discusses dried fish taxidermy. Seriously.

💋 Tense debates about fish hierarchy: are you a bottom feeder or a visionary?

🤔 Political intrigue, podcast sponsorships, and one potential fish conspiracy (cue new spinoff: Something Fishy: North Side Secrets)

Editor/Producer: Hill Kane

Listen in and remember:

💔 Fish are friends...until they're the mayor.

🍽️ North side or south side, we all bleed chowder.

💬 And in improv, as in life: "Yes, and... please don't eat the guests."

This is the final episode of the BIT Comedy Network for 2025. We'll see you in 2026 with more madness, more characters, and hopefully fewer fish-based tragedies. Apply to join the ensemble at bitcomedynetwork.com.

Billy and the BIT CREW players wish you the very merriest of Christmases, the happiest of Chanukahs, and a fantabulous and super-fun Holiday Season/New Year. As an homage to "holiday dinners." Billy insisted that we recreate that frenetic and sometimes awkward ritual with a special improv form called "Dinner Party." We even made a theme song. We hope you enjoy this special Christmas edition of Podcast Town. We are releasing a super, secret, double-dog-dared, New Year's bonus edition of DINNER PARTY at the stroke of Midnight on New Year's Eve.

Listen to the full version of the Dinner Party Theme song!

Season Two Finale of rabbitHOLE -

Live from OSLO! - A Random rabbitHOLE

OMG OMG! The BIT Comedy Network's first LIVE show was at the Oslo Impro Fest on October 24th.

We have been performing together under the BIT marquee for about two years, but we had never met or performed live as a troupe.

Even with the wonky audio (it gets better after the introduction), we think you'll enjoy this RANDOM rabbitHOLE journey through rolling D20s, experimental medicine, the benefits of divorce and hot water, fruits with curative powers, and a costumed heist. (We still don't know if Amber is a camel, in camo, OR a camel wearing camo ...)

As always, rabbitHOLE is 100% unscripted. If you enjoy the show, do your part:
👉 Follow, rate, and share with your most unhinged friend.
