As they go 'Back Through The Basement' this week, Tom and Julee Antonellis welcome as a Playdate, for a Special-Edition-length episode, inspiring guru, voiceover artist and coach -- VP of Society Of Voice Arts And Sciences -- Joan Baker! And wow does Joan deliver! She paints the picture of young Joan, looking into her childhood mirror and declaring "I've gotta be where the action is!" which we quickly learn is at the root of Joan's approach to a self-expressed life. She shares some of her own collections (who knew the deep history of shell boxes!!) then turns her attention to helping Tom and Julee decide the fate of unearthed toys from their childhood in the Basement. Join the fun as all three, in Joan's words, "discover, discard, entertain, comprehend, talk loud, learn, have fun, laugh and -- yes -- even cry." (Tom did; Julee and Joan comforted.)
Now in their forties, Julee and Tom Antonellis are reconnecting as brother and sister in THE MOST distant a socially-distant podcast can be in the United States. While recording on each coast (and seeing each other over FaceTime) all the way from Los Angeles (Tom) to Boston (Julee), they start unearthing the core lessons, laughs and connections of their childhood. Plus, Julee has to fight her fear of cobwebs while Tom enjoys the comfort of his office -- yet he CAN'T touch his beloved toys like she can.
As their Instagram bio indicates -- @backthroughthebasementpod -- you can follow them there to see pictures of everything they unearth -- Tom & Julee (actors, comics, voiceover artists & siblings), children of the 80s, must go through all their toys and belongings in their parents’ basement. Oh boy!
