About The Episode
Boston-based a cappella group Ball in the House joins Jared Bowen for an in-studio performance ahead of its September 11 show at Off Cabot in Beverly.

Back-to-school season sends Kiernan Schmitt back to Boston’s college campuses — not for class, but for the architectural oddities, forgotten traditions and bits of lore hiding in plain sight. Schmitt, author of Secret Boston: An Unusual Guide, joins Jared for a tour of some of the region’s best-kept campus secrets. He also co-hosts the Out of Office: A Travel Podcast with Ryan Davis.
Boston comedy mainstay Tony V joins Jared to look back on more than four decades of stand-up and screen work — from Boston comedy clubs to appearances in Seinfeld, The Town, The Heat and CODA. He also previews upcoming performances, including Boston Funny Live at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge on September 26 and Tony V at the Sea Crest Beach Resort on Cape Cod on October 17.
