Episode 160 – Josh Mills on Edie Adams – Music to Listen to Records By

Episode160_SD

The full, actual title of this gem is “Music to Listen to Records By – Edie Adams Sings?”  A woman after my own heart, with one of the great, absurd record titles of all time, and using punctuation in the title (my first sketch comedy group, which still exists, was originally called “Dan and Jay’s Komedy? Hour”) Edie uses her considerable musical talents to sound like an amateur in more than a few of these songs.  Her son, Josh Mills, returned to talk about this rarity, in which Edie does a ton of timely impressions for 1959, the most recognizable of which might now be Marilyn Monroe.  If you put this album on in the background, it might take you a full listen before you realized what you had.  Sure, it looks silly, but it doesn’t scream “comedy,” and it’s that subtlety that makes it so great.

Episode 145 – Christopher Bay on Shelley Berman – Inside Shelley Berman

ChristopherBay_SD

Every once in awhile, because of this show, I’m fortunate enough to meet an official archivist for a legend.  This week, I talk with Christopher Bay, who is the archivist for not only Shelley Berman, but for Woody Woodbury.  Christopher talks about his experiences with Shelley, including discovering him and imitating him from a young age.  We do talk a bit about this, Shelley’s first album, but it’s pretty all-inclusive, especially with this episode’s final clip – a rarity, courtesy Christopher himself.
