Paul F. Tompkins is back at it again (just like Damn Daniel) on Spontaneanation! This week, Paul’s special return guest is Nicole Silverberg of Reductress! They chat about what ingredient Nicole would remove from the world and why, repeatedly turning down a certain offer over the course of a 2nd date, and meeting her talented mustachioed boyfriend through Story Pirates. Paul is then joined by Colleen Smith, Nyima Funk, and Lilan Bowden, to improvise a story set in A Forest. And as always, Eban (only the best) Schletter scores it all on piano!

Want to submit a location for our improv? Follow @Spontaneanation on Twitter! We’ll ask for locations before we record, and once we do you’ll have five minutes to submit your suggestion! One suggestion per recording, thanks!
