In this episode, Alec and Ryan read and discuss a story about the Otavalo people in the Andes Mountains in Ecuador creating an anime called "We're Aya" to help revive their Quichua language and culture, and the influence they took from famous Japanese animated movies like those of Studio Ghibli.

Then a kid named Jared who was raised exclusively on Nickelodeon TV comes onto the scene, and Ryan spends some time interviewing him.

Real news, improvised comedy.

Improvisers and comedians Alec Shea (@alecsheaimprov) and Ryan Charnoky (@Ryan_Stands_Up) read and discuss interesting, weird, and completely true news stories from around the world, then improvise comedic scenes inspired by the story, the people involved and the discussion that follows. They also discuss improv techniques and comedy styles.

Weekly episodes with Ryan and Alec, and perhaps sometimes... special guests!

(Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee the news stories will be accurately depicted during the improv. In fact... they may be depicted somewhat inaccurately... Hmm... Actually its probably best to assume the improv doesn't represent these real world news stories at all...)
