Episode 169 – Arnie Kogen and Patric Verrone on Its a Gas and Mad Magazine

Posted on by

COV_169_SD

Arnie Kogen has written for so many of our greatest comedic minds and voices, but perhaps the one that screeches loudest is MAD Magazine.  Patric Verrone helped give us Futurama and returns to the show as an expert who owns every issue of MAD Magazine.  This week, we use the MAD Magazine insert record “It’s A Gas” to discuss the history of MAD itself.

Host: Jason Klamm
Producer: Mike Worden
This Week’s Guest: Arnie Kogen

Video Episode – 166 with Phil Proctor on the History of Firesign, Part 1

Posted on by

Finally, after much too  much trial and error, the video of our first in a series on Firesign Theatre’s history, with Phil Proctor.

Episode 166 – Phil Proctor on the History of Firesign, Part 1

Posted on by

COV_166_SD

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 91 – Jim Cummings

Posted on by

Jim CummingsI don’t have the words.  And you can tell.  I’m not ashamed to get flustered, obviously, but Jim is a hero of mine, and has been for 20-plus years.  He was the first voice actor whose name I learned and whose work I looked for every time I watched something animated.  This was a complete honor, and we talk Cosby and Smothers.
