Hello

Burgess.
On
this, our 123rd episode, our returning guest is Carlos Dengler. You
first heard Carlos Dengler on Episode
87
and Episode 88 of the podcast.
Carlos
Dengler is a New York City actor, writer and musician. He has written
for n+1
and

Stories Press and
is working with Foundry Literary + Media on writing his first memoir.
In
2016, Carlos wrote and performed his first one person show for the
New York City International Fringe Festival called Homo
Sapiens Interruptus. Later
in the year, he understudied for Josh Radnor at Lincoln Center
Theater in a production of the Richard Greenberg play The
Babylon Line.
Also
in 2016, Carlos appeared as a guest musician with the Late Night with
Seth Meyers band. Carlos spent the better part of the aughts, from
1997 to 2010, playing bass and keyboards with the band Interpol,
which he co-founded with other band members at NYU.
Recently
in 2015, he received an MFA from NYU Grad Acting, in addition to a BA
in Philosophy, also from NYU, back in 1999. Carlos is on Twitter as@denglercarlos and on Instagram as @carlosandresdengler.

This
is a very special episode of The Rob Burgess Show. At the end Carlos
will read his essay, “Downtown and Gentrification: Dystopia or Enlightened Future?” published by Seven Stories Press Blog. And
just before that, I'm including a snippet of a June 6, 2015 recording of the podcast Weird Adults at the Comedy Attic in Bloomington,
Indiana, which I covered as a journalist during the Limestone Comedy
Festival.
