In Episode 240, we sat down with the hosts of “the best mistake ever made” – the comedic entertainment and pop culture podcast called A Freak Accident. Lazy E, Crisco, Mikki, and Kara Hart are hosting a live recording of the show at Best Cigar Pub in Drums on Wednesday, July 29, so we talked about Crisco and Lazy E’s local radio careers on 97.9X and beyond and how that led to the origins of this podcast; Kara’s radio work on Magic 93, Hot 97.1, and 100.7 WLEV as well as television with PA Live; Mikki’s time in the local music scene, building the skate park Keystone Rampworks, and current work at The Dome Sportsplex in Wilkes-Barre; the differences and similarities between recording for broadcast radio and podcasts; the production of the show and how they find subjects to talk about; the art of witty banter and building the right chemistry; what makes A Freak Accident stand out; the decade-long run of the podcast and what motivates them week after week; the state of the radio industry and podcasting today; their first live show at Mutant Brewing in Scranton and what they have in store for the next one; and more.
