Janet Varney (Encore)

By Alison Rosen on July 14, 2024 in podcast

After last week’s group show with Janet Varney we needed to go back and revisit one of her early appearances (from May 6, 2012) because, as a listener said, her voice is like a warm hug!

Original description: Janet Varney, comedian, actor, voice over actor, producer, writer and host of The JV Club podcast stopped by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to chat about why “real life” can feel like high school, Mormon summer camp, “borrowing” garments from the drama department, high school crushes, dancing and mirror faces and a zillion more things. We also did a round of JMOE (click here to see the JMOEs we put on the screen) and Alfred Schulz called in with Things You Never Hear People Say. Plus Topic Sombrero, iTunes Comment of the Week and your emails.
