Phil Proctor is back, with the history of the Firesign Theatre!  This time, we’re joined by Firesign archivist Taylor Jessen and Jeremy Guskin to talk about Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him.  It was a good, long conversation, so I cut it into two parts.  There’s also video of the whole conversation, which you can watch below, and find at youtube.com/comedyonvinyl.

Posted on by

COV_183_SD (1)

Your middlest brother, Travis McElroy, joins me this week ostensibly to talk about an admittedly great and not-often-enough-spoken-of-hyphen album, but we get off on a tangent when we discover Blazing Saddles is both of our favorite film.  But we come back.  I promise.

Episode 181 – Aline Brosh McKenna on Fiddler on the Roof

Posted on by

COV_181_SD

Okay, so I give my guests the options of some things that aren’t strictly comedy, when those things inspired them and at least have some comedic elements to them.  Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devils Wears Prada, 27 Dresses AND co-creator of friend of the show Rachel Bloom’s wonderful show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) took me up on the challenge and picked Fiddler on the Roof with Zero Mostel.  There are plenty of comedic songs in Fiddler, and Zero Mostel could be funny falling down a set of stairs.

BONUS: Rob Kutner talks about his new project, Runaway Brains, co-starring Ken Jennings, Weird Al, Michael Ian Black, Lauren Lapkus and a bunch of others.  Listen on howl.fm or get the first three free here: http://apple.co/1XjUw1c

COV_180_SD

You’ve seen Billy Merritt on numerous shows.  If you’re lucky enough (like our own producer, Mike), Billy has taught you improv at UCB.  We had a great time talking about the mind-changing effect Carlin and this album had on how Billy thought about comedy.

Chris White is a self-described “recovering standup comic,” and he picked the perfect album to discuss – an album by a standup who quit while he was ahead.  Chris also hosts DC Improv’s The Other Side podcast on which he is currently helping the country find out who the funniest president of all time is.
