The Charlie Chaser Show is a live performance broadcast call-in event on Facebook Live. Originally created as a Podcast, Charlie Chaser is a broadcast intended to take place during times of crisis and tumult.

Charlie Chaser started off as a comedy persona I devised to try and find the funny in the unfunny, and as a way of coping with my own clinical depression after I was ordered by the state into a court-ordered psychiatric hold as a potential harm to myself. In the throes of that moment of addiction and depression, I appeared in stand-up acts with the persona at The Globe Pub and High Hat Club's now-defunct Monday night open mics, and recorded multiple Soundcloud episodes of the Charlie Chaser Show as a podcast. However, during the economic shutdown of the Soundcloud company, many of these original audio files were destroyed.

Now I have revived the show to watch the show on Facebook live on my profile page and to call-in at 224-307-5479 to talk on-air about all things pandemic. Tell us how you're coping, things you're enjoying about your time in isolation, hopes, fears, etc.

I am a strong believer in the power of sharing and listening to help heal us body and mind, and to fortify us when we are at our most vulnerable. Now, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I am applying the same tools that helped me struggle through my own personal crisis to my community.

Our current broadcast schedule includes the following times and dates:
