Episode 166 – Phil Proctor on the History of Firesign, Part 1
This week, we begin retracing the history of Firesign with Phil Proctor, in part one of a mini-series covering every album from the Columbia years, and perhaps moving on to more. Phil is currently working on an autobiography, so he’s in the storytelling mood, so while we planned to cover the first three albums on this episode, at the end of the show we’re JUST up to the group solidifying. We’re joined by Firesign super fans Jeremy Guskin and Greg Benson. Also, there’s video of the episode as well, which you’ll be able to watch shortly at youtube.com/comedyonvinyl.

Episode 85 – Mark Proksch on The Two Sides Of The Smothers Brothers
You’ve seen Mark Proksch on The Office as Nate. You might have been fortunate enough to see Kenny Strasser, Yo-Yo Master. He’s generally just brilliant and funny, but he also picked The Smothers Brothers, finally bringing me back to something I have memorized most of. It gets comfortably nerdy herein, even if he doesn’t have anything to plug. Enjoy!

Episode 84 – Rocky Mountain Mike on Stan Freberg Presents the United States of America, Vol 1: The Early Years
Rocky Mountain Mike (aka Mike Hardeman) has been creating political satire for years. He began (as a lot of us did) recording himself and his friends creating comedy as kids. He eventually moved into radio, and after an impressive back catalog, has finally released his first album of political satire, “Politically Incoherent.” Mike wanted to discuss “Stan Freberg Presents the United States of America, Vol 1: The Early Years,” so we finally got the chance to put some Freberg on the internet air. It was a lot of fun.

Episode 83 – Rusty Warren – Part 2
It’s the Rusty Warren interview, part 2! No clips (except at the end) so you can get a better feel for the conversation we had. It was amazing, and I can’t stop going on about what an incredible honor this was for Mike and myself. Because it was. Amazing stuff.

Episode 82 – Rusty Warren – Part 1
It’s finally here – our interview with comedy legend Rusty Warren. Queen of the party album, progressive thinker, wonderful singer and all-around wonderful comedian. In a time where sex in comedy meant being blue for the sake of it, Rusty turned it and made it a conversation piece. Not just in dens around the country, not just in the earphones of her at-home listener, but right there in the face of her live audience. She asked the women to play along so that sex, and laughing about it, were not exclusive to men. In this first of two parts, Rusty talks about how she got started – and not just as an entertainer – and about what the comedy scene was like when she was coming up. She’s amazing. Listen close, and stay tuned for part 2.

Episode 81 – Eric Martin on Doctor Demento Presents the 1960s
Eric Martin (host of This American Wife) is back! It’s a two-peat, which isn’t a thing at all. Finally, someone picks Dr. Demento – specifically “Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Novelty Records of All Time, Vol. 3: 1960’s.” Couldn’t fit all that into a handy title. We talk about the good Doctor’s picks and the influence this album and what I can only assume to be a Walkman with the auto-reverse function had on him.
