Episode 396 – Alex Salem on Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits

Posted on by

Alex Salem has been waiting a full decade for this to come out so he could discuss it on this very show.  He returns to walk me through an album that I needed a little bit of context for.  We talk about the songs themselves, the references and the history of Homestar Runner and Strongbad.

Episode 137 – Alex Salem on The First Family

Posted on by

Salem

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 CD or a cassette, another option – listen to something you haven’t heard.  This week, friend of the show Alex Salem stops by and we both discuss our first dedicated listening experience with the one-time vinyl record sales holder.  Not only that, but because of its ubiquity, it can easily be tossed aside as a bi-product of a political comedy trope it helped popularize – the presidential impression – when, in fact, it was ground-breaking.  Give it a listen, and go buy it, because I guarantee you can find yourself a cheap copy.

Episode 100 – Matt Lieberman Interviews Jason about his 1999 album Shoestrings – with Guests James Urbaniak and Alex Salem

Posted on by

Episode 100Matt Lieberman (Sourcefed, Afterbuzz, friend of the show) made the kind offer to interview me for our hundredth episode.  I assumed that meant “talk about my collection,” when what Matt had in mind was much more sinister – he wanted me to talk about my own comedy album from 1999.  Talk about myself though I might like to… do… I was reticent, but it was a fun trip down memory lane, and it’s nice to remember your first major, completed project and see that it had a place, somewhere, among other things.  James Urbaniak and my Drinking Game buddy Alex Salem were there for emotional support and unexpected, but welcome, analysis of my (with Dan Gomiller) ridiculous album.

A quick thank you also to the people who have made these 100 episodes possible, besides our awesome guests: Mike Worden, Jen Smith, Dan Gomiller, Dan Schlissel, Josh Mills, James Urbaniak, Jeremy Guskin, Mike Preister and many more folks have given of their time and resources to help make this show something I’m quite proud of.  Thanks for listening, boeau’.

Posted on by

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.
