EP. 8 — The New Doctor Demento

Dr. Demento was arguably the most famous comedy radio host…that is, until Scott Aukerman joined the business! The key to Demento’s success was one Mr. “Weird Al” Yankovic, who Scott steals away to bring himself fame. On this episode they discuss Al’s success and music and are joined by celebrated author Richard Dalton and winner of the Indie 103.1 Unknown Comic Contest Jim Pipe.
