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
