In the Scenes Behind Plain Sight

Listen at itsbps.condos

In the Scenes Behind Plain Sight is a new, weekly rewatch podcast... for a TV show that never actually existed–it’s all made up. Co-hosts Ian and Mike were two stars of the hit 2002-2007 TV show “Behind Plain Sight,” and they’re rewatching all 5 seasons of the show–including the Lyme Disease shortened 4th season–episode by episode. They’ll share behind-the-scenes stories and secrets and talk about what’s going on in their lives now. (Not much is going on in their lives now).

The TV show “Behind Plain Sight” followed Chris, a man who witnessed a mafia murder and chose to hide out in the last place anyone would ever suspect–a place where there are no disguises–a nudist colony in Florida. Hijinks ensue as Chris tries to blend in with a cast of wacky characters at Funsations, all the while staying one step ahead both of the mafia and of Jam, the de facto mayor of Funsations who suspects Chris is not what he seems.

The podcast will also welcome, as special guests, Ian and Mike’s former co-stars, at least the ones who will answer their calls. We’ll hear from writers, producers, and crew members of “Behind Plain Sight” as well, despite the fact that Ian and Mike never learned any of their names at the time.
