Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 140 – Greg Benson on The Credibility Gap – A Great Gift Idea
The awesome Greg Benson breaks down the first Credibility Gap album we’ve covered, track-by-track. It’s his favorite, and it’s not hard to see why. Irreverent, razor-sharp satire with the kind of production values anyone would be jealous of. It’s a shame they made so few records together, bu View Original Post and Listen to Episode…

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 139 – Phil Hendrie on Firesign – How Can You Be in Two Places at Once…
Of course, the full title is “How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You’re Not Anywhere at All,” and it’s one of the great Firesign albums. One half Firesign fever dream, and the other half a long-form Nick Danger adventure, this is the first album that ever exposed Firesign to me as…

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 138 – Dr. Demento
He inspired the guy who inspired this podcast. He’s the ultimate curator of novelty music, a music historian, an expert on the history of recorded sound and of comedy, and he was the sound of a generation of comedy lovers. He might have invented what it means to be a comedy nerd, whether you View…

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 137 – Alex Salem on The First Family
How has it taken this long to get to what might be the most famous comedy album of all time? Simple: not one guest has requested it. So this week, we start changing the format up. Starting soon, we’re going to be giving guests who don’t have an album in mind, or who pick a…

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 136 – Breck Parkman and Maura McCoy on Vinyl and Archaeology
This week’s episode is not really about one comedy album, but about the strange case of a burned commune, the family that lived there, and the man who has been studying the site for thirty-plus years, using vinyl found at the scene as one of his tools. Among them, one comedy album (a Cosby View…

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 135 – Josia Elliott on David Cross – Shut Up, You Fucking Baby
Buzzfeed’s own Josia Elliott comes on the show to talk about David Cross’s emotionally-charged “Shut Up, You Fucking Baby.” Replete with track titles from some imaginary stand-up set, this album is a great time capsule, and still really relevant. It also had a vinyl re-release, courtesy of S View Original Post and Listen to Episode…

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 134 – Jim Hamilton on Woody Allen – Stand Up Comic
This week, a guy I wish I’d discovered much sooner stops by to discuss a guy I wish was still as funny as he once was. Jim Hamilton is one of the few consistent one-liner comics out there (you should listen to his album “Poems About the Ocean” ASAP, the cover of which was designed…

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 133 – Jackie Kashian on Lenny Bruce – American
The Dork Forest’s own Jackie Kashian stops by to talk about Lenny Bruce’s hit-and-miss American, that does happen to contain a mutual favorite sketch. Yes, a stand-up album seemingly mashed together with oddly different-sounding performances and also a sketch. Still, worth a listen for a c View Original Post and Listen to Episode Here: http://goo.gl/hfnteH…

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 132 – Tess Barker on Katt Williams – Its Pimpin Pimpin
The awesome Tess Barker of the hilarious Lady to Lady Podcast stops by this week (and by this week, I mean several months ago, due to some crappy technical issues) to talk about Katt Williams. We have a ton of fun talking about how Katt’s comedy hits home with Tess and why she quit acting…
