  • Ballroom Broadway & Cats
    May 13 2026

    Ballroom. Broadway. Cats.

    This week we’re joined by Cooper Howell, the Associate Director behind one of Broadway’s hottest and most talked-about shows right now: Cats: The Jellicle Ball.

    We get into Cooper’s journey from performer to director, what it really takes to bring a Broadway production to life, and how Cats: The Jellicle Ball transformed into one of the most exciting experiences currently on Broadway. We also talk about building collaborative creative spaces and why shows like Cats are about so much more than spectacle. They’re about community, identity, self-expression, resilience and joy all at once.

    From voguing and runway to queer artistry and theatrical chaos in the best way possible, this ballroom-inspired reimagining of Cats is unlike anything audiences are expecting. Cooper shares what it’s been like helping shape the show from its earliest workshops to its current Broadway run, what it means to honor ballroom culture authentically onstage, and why audiences have connected so deeply with this version of Cats.

    OH and did I mention Cats: The Jellicle Ball is nominated for NINE Tony Awards 👀 including Best Revival of a Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, Best Choreography, Best Costume Design, Best Lighting Design, Best Sound Design, and Best Orchestrations.

  • Survivor 50 Episode 8 "TWISTED FATES" Review with Mikhail Sokoloff
    Apr 17 2026

    THE FAKE IDOL CAME OUT TO PLAY!!!!!!!!!! 🤯🔥 And a twist we might actually need to keep around 👀

    Donnie and Mikhail are breaking down Survivor 50 Episode 8, where the “double duos” twist had everyone scrambling, second-guessing, and realizing real quick… your partner might just be your downfall 💀

    Love it or hate it, this twist shook the game UP — forcing new dynamics, exposing cracks in alliances, and giving us some top-tier chaos.

    And of course, Cirie once again reminds us why she’s THAT player, delivering a moment that could have completely changed the direction of the vote.

    It’s a pivotal round with major implications for the rest of the season… and yeah, we’re unpacking ALL of it.

  • Survivor 50 Episode 7 "Cirie's Rizard of Oz" Review with Mikhail Sokoloff
    Apr 13 2026

    In this episode of Ur Typical Podcast, Donnie and Mikhail break down Survivor 50 Episode 7 -That's Not How I Play Survivor.

    From Tiffany’s emotional blindside fallout to Jonathan stirring the pot, alliances shifting, and information flying everywhere (looking at you, Emily 👀), this episode was messy in the best way. We get classic Survivor tension with Dee vs Jonathan, Coach spiraling, and Cirie quietly running the game like she always does.

    When everyone knows you have an idol… is it even power anymore?

    Plus, we debate the smartest way to handle a blindside, whether the players missed a major opportunity to take out Coach, and what ultimately led to Dee’s downfall.

    If you love strategy, chaos, and a little old-school Survivor energy, this episode is for you!
