Meet the stars and the creator of the new darkly comic web series, The Disappointments in The Locher Room. Joining me for the hour is the writer, director and star Rich Burns along with his co-star Trevor LaPaglia.

The Disappointments follows of group of close friends in their 50’s who, rocked by the suicide of one of their own, are forced to face the failures and disappointments in their own lives.

Based in part on actual events, this new series looks at a pivotal issue people face as they navigate their 50’s: What do you do when you realize that time is running short, the road behind you is longer than the road ahead, and your job, your marriage, your relationship with your kids, your life has not turned out at all the way you had hoped and planned when you were young?

In the show, the characters take action. Most of it ill-advised. Some of it straight-up disastrous. All in the hopes of turning their disappointing lives around.

This web series aims to be unique by featuring gay men in their 50s dealing with the fallout from faltering careers and empty bank accounts and generally scrambling to figure out how to set themselves up to survive in the decades yet to come.

As a gay man in his 50's myself, I can't wait to talk with Rich and Trevor about The Disappointments and find out more about their journeys to this very funny new series. Please come and hang with the three of us.
