Back Through The Basement Episode 23 - Finger Puppets and Playdates (feat. Tracee Chimo Pallero with Tom and Julee Antonellis)

Back Through The Basement

This episode captures lightning in a bottle! (Or, technically, lighting...in a bin). It was such a special and wonderful day of surprises!! Not only does the Hodgepodge Bin continue to be the most random assortment EVER of hilarious and touching childhood whatnots – “Back Through The Basement” is joined by a Surprise Guest who becomes the first official "Playdate" on the podcast!!! Tom and Julee had no idea at the top of the day the magic that awaited them!! Listen to our first official Playdate (Interview) with our guest, actor Tracee Chimo Pallero (“Orange is the New Black”, “Sully”)!!
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.
