Guests- "What Is Erotic?" creators Laura Bishop and John Regal

Listen Now to Laura and John on Dr. Future Show

Guess what’s up in this hood this time of year? Yep, it’s time for “What is Erotic?’” an annual fundraiser for the ever popular 418 Project in Santa Cruz, CA.  For the last nine years “What is Erotic?” has taken the form of a variety show, featuring self-revealing witty whimsical portraits of erotic thought and deed by local Santa Cruz citizens.  Now, this rather engaging and fun social act of self reflection is expanding  to other towns as well (Portland, Oakland, San Francisco).  

And now, not only is WIE replicating, but it is has also given birth to a new format this year, debuting  for its home show in Santa Cruz this month.  Rather than a variety show, it is more like a play, with a full  story arc, with plot, complications, actors, music and everything that makes a good tale.  

To explain this  new twist of erotica to us we bring you Laura Bishop, who has been sheparding this annual community experience of WIE for ten years now.  We also have  the show’s music producer, John Ragell, to share with us his creative process in producing the live soundtrack of WIE.  

After this interview, we can’t wait to hear the fruits of their collaboration.!
