Episode 136 – Breck Parkman and Maura McCoy on Vinyl and Archaeology

Posted on by


Parkman750

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 album, as it happens).  We talk about what that means and what it’s like to work on a site that’s younger than you are, but at the same time millennia older.

Host: Jason Klamm
Producer: Mike Worden

Episode 111 – Jeremy Carter on Bill Cosby – Himself

Posted on by

Jeremy CarterJeremy Carter is here to talk Cosby.  Not just Cosby, but Himself.  A seminal album, and one that has stuck with a number of a certain generation maybe more than his earlier work, wonderful as it is.  This is Bill Cosby’s dad “character,” which is a stretch as a term in this case, as refined as it ever got.  This is frustrated dad refusing to give up, but still accepting his fate.

Episode 96 – Matthew Senreich and Zeb Wells of Robot Chicken on Bill Cosby, Adam Sandler and More

Posted on by

Robot Chicken
Matthew Senreich & Zeb Wells were kind enough to let me into the inner sanctum of the Robot Chicken production offices for a quick chat about what inspired them (Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor and Adam Sandler among them), comedy-wise, and what it takes to make sketch comedy your own, even if it is with someone else’s toys.

Episode 68 – Matt Buchholtz on Bill Cosby – Revenge

Posted on by

BuchholtzMatt Buchholtz was the first person I interviewed for my documentary Lords of Soaptown in 2008.  He’s also hilarious, does a ton of great sketch comedy, and is part of the Crit Juice podcast, which you don’t need to be a D&D person to enjoy thoroughly.  It’s great.  He wanted to talk some more about a Bill Cosby album we haven’t touched on yet.  Smart move.

Episode 22 – Bill Cosby – To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With

Posted on by

Storytelling comedy at its best.  In this episode, we discuss our own sibling adventures along with this album, named for the 20-minute track that is side 2.  It is so true-to-life in terms of family that just about anyone can relate.

Sit back and enjoy what it was like to have Bill Cosby in your living before he was regularly on TV.
