Feed-icon All Stoop Shows are now available in handy podcast form, or you can listen on LitStation.

On July 9, 10 and 11, The Stoop’s first ever live radio show will feature old-time comedy sketches from our friends at the Baltimore Improv Group, performances from Caleb Stine and the Brakemen, along with local musicians ellen cherry, The 5th L, and Arty Hill, and, of course, the true, personal tales The Stoop is famous for. Storytellers include “The Wire’s” Clarke Peters, First Lady Katie O’Malley, actress Rain Pryor, former “The Simpsons” writer Larry Doyle, and more! Raconteuses Jess Henkin and Laura Wexler have convinced Aaron Henkin of The Signal on WYPR-FM to host the show—and WYPR will broadcast it on Friday, July 17th at noon and 7 p.m.; and Friday, July 24th at noon and 7 p.m., on 88.1 FM.
