Episode 81 – Eric Martin on Doctor Demento Presents the 1960s

Posted on by

Martin 2Eric 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.

Episode 80 – Matt Saxe on George and Ira Gershwin – Of Thee I Sing

Posted on by

For the first time, I get to talk with one of my best friends, and my only Best Man, Matt Saxe on the podcast.  To cross over a bit to our pet project, the comedic historical documentary “Vice-Precedence: Being Number Two in the White House,” Matt picked a piece by the Gershwins that features one of the only musical portrayals of a Vice President we can think of – in the musical “Of Thee I Sing.”

We also talk about comic book t-shirts.

Episode 77 – DISCovery, Episode A – James Urbaniak Introduces Sara Pocock to An Evening with Mike Nichols and Elaine May

Posted on by

Cheech Tom & Chong

Sara Pocock proposed the idea that someone should introduce her to something brand-new, at least to her.  A classic she’d never heard of, or never new was important enough to listen to.  She picked the authority – James Urbaniak.  James picked one of the best – An Evening with Mike Nichols and Elaine May.  Because I can’t think of a better title, I’m calling this subseries “DISCovery.”  Submissions for better titles are welcome.

Also, coming back this week is bittersweet.  A few weeks ago, my wife lost her father, Tom Smith, who you’ll see with Cheech and Chong above in a photo I finally got to see when I was putting together the photos for his memorial.  Naturally, I was hoping I’d get to hear more of the story behind the photo from Tom himself, but I do know he got to interview two of my heroes.  My picture with Philip Proctor, though, was of an experience Tom coveted, himself, so we got to share our love of comedy that way.

Episode 76 – John Dimaggio on George Carlin – Class Clown

Posted on by

John DimaggioThis week, the Bender head comes off the bookshelf for the man behind the shiny metal ass.  John DiMaggio is not only the voice of Bender, and of Jake on Adventure Time, but he’s also a huge Carlin fan.  We sat down and talked a mutual favorite album, Class Clown, and I had the good fortune to watch and hear him imitate Carlin.  Amazing stuff.  John’s also the producer and narrator of the new documentary “I Know That Voice,” about almost every voice actor you’ve ever heard.  I Know that Voice will be on demand from December 1-21st, and available on iTunes starting January 7, 2014.

Oh, and in this episode, I also come up with an idea for the greatest a capella group ever.

Jack Dolgen has created the music for a ton of music and TV shows you’ve doubtless seen, and he’s also co-writer/co-producer on many of Rachel Bloom’s music.  I wanted to get the other mind behind “Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury” to sit down and talk about his influences.  Lucky for me, he picked my heroes.
