UNO Reverse: Eric Leclerc interviews Jonah Babins on Discourse in Magic

Listen to the December 12th podcast "UNO REVERSE: Jonah Babins gets interviewed by Eric Leclerc" at Discourse in Magic.

 

From the December 29th Instagram post by Discourse in Magic:

I did an UNO REVERSE episode with @magic4yourbrain where he interviewed me. And it’s shaping up to be the most popular episode of the year.

We talked about performing, coaching, what magician need, podcast highlights, and he even pre interviewed my parents to learn about my upbringing and how this all came to be.

Probably the most popular episode of the year. Link in bio to hear it!

ICYMI: David Merry -- Best First Time Director of Best Comedy

You may remember that in 2023, David Merry released his first feature length film, Switched at Death.  

We are delighted to (belatedly) share the news that David was presented the Best First Time Director (Feature) Award at the Los Angeles Film Awards back in January. Additionally, Switched at Death won Best Comedy!  (It's worth noting that the film's Director of Photography is the talented Jason d'Souza, who some of you may know from his Noodle Boys days.)

Congratulations David et al!
