Quirky and "laugh-out-loud funny," Everything is Alive is just what the doctor ordered. Podcast host Ian Chillag is no stranger to the radio or comedy scene (he previously worked for NPR, among other outlets). Along with Chillag, the many comedians and entertainers who guest-star deliver the "unscripted" life story of inanimate objects. For example, listeners are introduced to a lamppost named Maeve who yearns to be seen and a subway seat named Sean craving connection. The result is a mash up between poignant, human-interest theater and high-level improv comedy. The show has received a 2019 Webby Award and praise from Indiewire, Time, and other distinguished outlets. This year, it won the 2020 Miller Audio Prize for humor. Jennifer Mills produces the podcast, which is a member of the Radiotopia network. Listeners can stream episodes on most popular platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
