Diane Amos brought down the house at our July 2025 show, themed “Soundtracks,” with a story about a single day containing the full spectrum of emotion, from celebration to loss and everything in between (even a little bit of spice and celebrity show up on this day of days). It’s a day that’s such a whiplash of a rollercoaster ride that all Diane can really do is throw her hands into the air, sing a little song, and marvel at how life can be so beautiful, so terrible, so unexpected, so precious.
Enjoy her story, then join us in our conversation with Diane, who shared details on her life as the queen of Pine-Sol and offered candid insights into her world of improv, comedy, acting, performance, and, of course, storytelling. Visit her website, and if you get a chance to see Diane live, take it! (Ahem, she will be back on our stage this July, so you know what to do.)You will not be disappointed. Meanwhile, this live audio recording of Diane’s big, beautiful day should hold you over until then.
This is our last episode of season one of our podcast, and after today, our podcast will be known as The Nutshell True Story Hour (we were getting buried under a bunch of AI content with the name “Prompt”). Our patron saint of “Yay!” Aaron Carnes is going to take over as the main host and let Amy and Kieth do what they do best, which is, well, let’s be nice here and call it “add flavor.” Aaron is the accomplished podcaster of the Nutshell Three, after all, and we want you to get to know him the same way you get to know Keith on stage and me, Amy, here. And don’t believe Keith (HI, KEITH!), Aaron DEFINITELY has the best podcaster voice. We’re so lucky to have him in so many ways. Ask him sometime what it’s like to have one easily distracted loudmouth and one hyper-fixated loudmouth following him around all the time . . . the dude deserves a medal!
Okay, humans! Enjoy the episode, enjoy Diane Amos, tell us what you think (I read and respond to all comments!), and until we see you again, keep telling each other your stories.
xoxo, Amy
