Episode 61 – Sara Pocock on Paul F. Tompkins – Freak Wharf

Posted on by

sarapocockThis week I talk with the insanely talented Sara Pocock!  You need to look at her art – she draws a lot of comedians and illustrates some great characters from podcasts (Fourvel from Comedy Bang Bang! being a personal favorite).  We talk about Paul F. Tompkins, the fact that she’s WAY more a live comedy nerd than I am, and what it’s like to work with the comedians you admire.

Upcoming ‘Sodes

Posted on by

PBO2KJqxohYHuQgti387ho4RnF_mNVubpXa9lBocmNs

(In case you missed it, Timothy Omundson is on our latest episode, talking about Flip Wilson!)

Yes, I now shorten the word episodes to ‘sodes.  And now I’ve stopped.

I don’t normally do media-light posts like this, but I wanted to thank our regular listeners and our new listeners for your support, and to let you know that I have a ton of episodes banked right now to roll out over the next couple of months.  I’d love to pull a Chris Hardwick and do several a week, but I’m gearing up for my wedding in June (Mike will be there, too), and I’d frankly rather not think about scratchy plastic circles during my honeymoon.

We have episodes coming up with DC Pierson, Patric Verrone (Futurama, The Critic, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, etc), amazing artist Sara Pocock, Ben Acker (Thrilling Adventure Hour) and Steve Franks (creator of Psych) to name just a few.  We cover albums new and old, but I’m making sure we stick to vinyl as often as we can.

If you have questions, suggestions or media queries, please drop me a line at jason@comedyonvinyl.com.

Thanks for reading, and have a good thing.

– Jason

Episode 58 – Eric Martin on Weird Al – UHF

Eric Martin

This week I sit down with the mahogany-voiced Eric Martin of the This American Wife podcast and Web Series.  It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite things, so it was exciting that Eric picked a Weird Al album we haven’t done before.  Apologies for the hot sound in advance, but I think it’s worth it.

Episode 56 – Dan Bakkedahl on Rodney Dangerfield – Rappin Rodney

Posted on by

bakkedahl

This week I finally get to talk to one of my favorite character actors, Dan Bakkedahl, about one of his favorite albums – Rodney Dangerfield’s “Rappin’ Rodney.”  I’d never heard it before, and was surprised at how well a strong set-up/punch routine still works.  Sure, it’s dated, but it still works.  Do yourself a favor and pull yourself out of the mindset that what you love now is the best.  At one point, this was.  And it was still old-timey then.

Episode 55 – Andrew Bergman on Blazing Saddles

Posted on by

AndrewBergmanMy favorite film of all time is Blazing saddles.  In fact, there used to be a subway/bus poster for the film hanging where I now hang my LPs.  There’s plenty around Fort Awesome Studios to indicate my love for this film and anyone who had anything to do with it.  So, only a few months after getting to play Hedley Lamarr onstage, I was honored to speak with Andrew Bergman by phone from New York about my favorite film, which started from a kernel of an idea, turned into a novella that I desperately want to read, and became a classic, sparking off the career of my  favorite director.  I had a wonderful time, and Andrew was a super-classy, nice, insightful writer – everything you’d hope.  Enjoy.

Episode 54 – Dan Schlissel on Myron Cohen – Everybody Gotta Be Someplace

Posted on by

danschlisselI got the chance this episode to speak with Dan Schlissel who founded Stand Up! Records  and was kind enough to give me a glimpse into the world of Myron Cohen.  Once upon a time there were ethnic comedians – comics who made hay from their specific ethnic backgrounds with all the love of a great storyteller and joke teller.  This is a wonderful snapshot of a bygone era and a great glimpse into the world of collecting comedy on vinyl.
