I 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.

This week is filled with milestones. Our two-year anniversary (yay) our 50th episode (at least half a milestone) and our first time covering a previously discussed album (finally). If this podcast has taught me anything, it’s that perspective is everything. All I ask is that you the comedy of Mr. Kevin Allison with that of this week’s guest, Mr. Graham Elwood, to see how the same album can have a profound effect on two different brands of humor.
This is what this podcast is all about. A guy whose work I admire exposes me to something new. Paul Zaloom was (and still is) Beakman from Beakman’s World, a political satirist, performance artist and puppeteer. This week, he talks to my good pal and brilliant humor person Alex Salem and I about the insane and awesome Lord Buckley.
