|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2/13/25 | The JV Club on hiatus | Janet Varney shares an important announcement about the JV Club | — | ||||||
| 2/6/25 |  Rerun: Janeane Garofalo | Recorded in a cozy hotel room at SF Sketchfest, Janet and Janeane Garofalo sit wedged between the wall and the bed, following whatever tangent might present itself. Does Janet get left in the dust in matters intellectual, political and otherwise? Sure. Is that okay? It’s going to have to be, because Janeane is smart, fast, and fantastic. | — | ||||||
| 1/30/25 |  Rerun: Tony Hale | Longtime JV pal Tony Hale ("Veep”) relives the fond and not-so-fond memories of his youth... but for goodness’ sake DO NOT ASK HIM ABOUT ANYTHING pre-7th grade! Plus: Asthma, cigarettes, and unfortunately artfully dodging being the artful dodger. | — | ||||||
| 1/23/25 |  Rerun: Edi Patterson | Hear her on The JV Club before she rises to the top of the arm-wrestling world! It’s Edi Patterson (The Groundlings), who bonds with Janet over the appeal of the celluloid “horndog,” pygmy unicorns, and being the good girl. | — | ||||||
| 1/16/25 |  Star Stone | Whether you’re camping for a music festival in Florida or hitting a warehouse party in New York, this week’s guest Star Stone has some valuable advice about what to eat, and what questions to ask before you do! | — | ||||||
| 1/9/25 |  MariNaomi | Whether you’re in Birkenstocks or combat boots or some other fine shoe, traipse on into this conversation with author/illustrator MariNaomi (“I Thought You Loved Me”) for a pre-2025 chat about Marin County, edgy high school subway-related plays, and even a side helping of Tupac! | — | ||||||
| 1/2/25 |  Rerun: Jon Heder | It’s delight and joy personified with Boy of Summer Jon Heder, whose dedication and generosity as an Eagle Scout extended all the way to trying to fix Janet’s broken computer a few weeks ago. Find out how he and his twin brother Dan spent their teen years in Oregon, Jon’s mission in Japan, and then find out which imaginary creature his M.A.S.H. future holds! | — | ||||||
| 12/26/24 |  Rerun: Leslie Bibb | Janet accuses guest Leslie Bibb (Iron Man) of having a Harper Lee novel-worthy childhood in Episode 41, amidst a pow-wow covering the dangers of altruism, being fearless in your fashion statements, and standing on the balls of your feet. | — | ||||||
| 12/19/24 |  Dr. Jon Paul | You don’t need to take 3 buses to visit this chat with JV and the magnificent Dr. Jon Paul (BFF: Black, Fat, Femme pod), who brings their warmth, insight and humor to this week’s episode! | — | ||||||
| 12/12/24 |  Kelly McCaughan | Get ready for an incredibly intimidating and bitter rivalry this week. But— it’s not between JV and the fantastic Kelly McCaughan (Catholic Guilt)— it’s a long-held feud between Kelly’s high school and another which shall not be named. So grab a fistful of triple creme brie and let’s GO! | — | ||||||

| 11/28/24 | Maggie Robertson | Do you like chickens? How about singing chickens? Regardless of your answer, you should still treat yourself to this episode with the delightful Maggie Robertson! | — | ||||||
| 11/21/24 |  Rerun: Aya Cash | Get ready for a San Francisco-style hair-buzzing with one of the shining stars of You’re the Worst, Aya Cash, as we dash from Buddhism to dental care jewelry (yep) to the startling discovery of youth that not every citizen is a Bay Area liberal | — | ||||||

| 10/10/24 |  Jen Kober | Are you there God? It’s our guest, Jen Kober! Take a saunter from the bayous of Louisiana and end up with Cirque du Soleil— yes, Cirque de Soleil!! — with this charismatic and hilarious comedian. (No wonder she won all those student council elections!) | — | ||||||
