The actor and playwright Jacob Sampson drops by the studio this week ahead of opening night for Shakespeare By The Sea’s mainstage show of the season, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s his first time on stage—in this case the grounds of Point Pleasant Park—in over two years!

Plus: a sweet song from the new Dusted album. Listen to the full episode here.
