Evan returns with a double episode! First, Actress Elisabeth Donaldson talks about being a full-time artist in Nashville, Tennessee and how it’s different from being an actress in LA. (3:50) Plus the story of how she got Evan and his wife into SAG at the same time, going Fi-Core, navigating the pandemic and whether she’s interacted with other Elisabeth Donaldsons. They also go into all of Elisabeth’s creative talents and then scan some obituaries of recently departed Elisabeth Donaldson.

Then it’s a returning (and pregnant) Angela McArdle who is now the National Chair of the Libertarian Party. How did she level up so fast and get over 2/3 of the votes to be the national spokesperson for a political party? We recap her campaigning, how she got Los Angeles to stand down with its v—ine mandate, her thoughts on the Libertarian presidential candidates in 2020 and what 2024 may hold. Evan also gets her party’s new stance on abortion, thoughts on Donald Trump, and how being in a third party still gets her opinions assigned to being left or right. 

In honor of Elisabeth’s appearance, buy this French book on Amazon written by Donaldson Elisabeth! 

In honor of Angela’s return, buy her Communist Cookbook on Amazon! Yum!

To celebrate 50 SOCIALLY AWKWARD interviews, Evan ventures to the celebrity wing of his Facebook friends to interview Actress Robin Riker! A third-generation actor and veteran of TV, film and theater, Robin has seen it all and done it all, which is why she has a book out called A Survivor’s Guide To Hollywood – How To Play The Game Without Losing Your Soul. Robin also recounts getting started in acting, auditioning for her parents, arriving in Hollywood and how auditions have changed for her over the years. She was also “Sharon Potter” on one of Evan’s favorite shows, Get A Life, and they discuss the show, Chris Elliot and how one episode made TV Guide’s top funny tv moments of all-time! 

Robin and Evan then shift gears to talk about the direction of SAG-AFTRA and Robin offers her dismayed reaction to the recently passed TV/Theatrical contracts. Why does she think it’s the worst contract ever? And why was she against the merger? Robin lays out the facts and offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the actors’ union operates. And did I mention she is the same Riker that New York City’s Riker’s Island is named after? All this and even some Inside The Actor’s Studio questions. It’s more awesome than awkward for Episode 50!
