Right Between the Ears
Right Between the Ears (RBTE) is a radio sketch comedy show on Kansas Public Radio that has been around since 1985. No, it doesn't fit the norm of sketch comedies on TV, but producer/writer Darrell Brogdon doesn't see that as a problem.

Brogdon says being on radio is a benefit. "Television, and on the stage, you're limited by what you can visually create," Brogdon says. "Through radio, listeners can let their imaginations run wild. There are no limits."

All ears:'Right Between the Ears' is a radio comedy show that uses current events for content.
Their content, though, is very contemporary. "It's topical stuff. It's really driven by what's happening in the news," Brogdon says.
Writing isn't an easy job. Brogdon says the group has to really work with the script after an initial copy is drafted."We read them, critique them and pick them apart." Brogdon says he writes the majority of the script as well.
RBTE will be doing a live performance at 8 p.m. Saturday at Liberty Hall. It normally does six live shows a year at Liberty Hall. Brogdon says audience members can take two types of
enjoyment from the show. It's a comedy show, so the audience members will get their laughs, but they can also enjoy the nuances of what it really takes to do a radio show. Tickets are about $30 for floor seats and $15 for balcony seats.
