Technology as it Should Be

I'm looking for talented improvisers for a new comedy podcast. Actors will play as an "expert" in their field to attend as a guest on a radio news show.

Must have your own quality recording equipment and the ability to record the audio on your end.
Must have a decent internet connection and video for performing the show via video call.
Show is for an adult audience but gross != funny.

DM me for more info, boosts welcome.
