Welcome back to the poor prozomenac. My name is Andy, and today we're joined by the writers of the musical The Tuna Bomber.

So this show is written over the course of several years.

John Lamp and Mike Wysong worked together to create a show talking about Ted.

For many of our audience members, as well as theirs, the work of Ted or his activities

happened before most folks had any memory or have any context of his actions

in real time. So we discuss how to engage with his work and his ideas with an audience

that has a different relationship with the man often referred to as Uncle Ted at a time

when political violence is so high. So this is an interesting conversation,

and they have a great show. I highly recommend you go check it out. We talked about some of the

dates coming up for the musical, and if you guys are in Boston, hopefully I'll see you there.

Guys, thanks so much for joining us. I stumbled across your project when doing some research.

I'm real excited to hear about it. So Michael, John, please introduce yourselves.

I'm Michael Weissong. I'm a composer, lyricist, playwright, and occasional performer for the

Tuna Bomber. And I'm John Lampie.

I'm an actor, director, and writer, and the other half of the idiots that bring you

the tuneabomber.

Awesome.

First off, is this the first time you guys worked together?

Was this just like a explosion of ideas, or have you guys worked together in the past?

We've worked together at like day jobs. That's how we met.

Okay. Yeah, it was we worked at a rehearsal studio together and found out that we're both,

as John's mom would put it, two halves of a whole idiot and that we have the like, you know,
