After giving him so many props in the latest Patton Oswalt episode, we had to invite Kyle Kinane to visit Sklarbro Country. He totally lived up to expectations with stories of his past as a punk rocker, his love of sports snacks, and his approach towards corporate comedy gigs. Also on the show is Jesse Thorn whose fantasy report is both timely and, dare we say, holly jolly? Plus more stories of freak sports accidents and a look into the frightening world of sailing. If you’re in Phoenix this weekend be sure to see Randy and Jason at Stand Up Live and Sacramento folks can start planning their New Years Eve by picking up tickets to Punch Line now!

Greg Behrendt and Dave Anthony have a podcast called Walking the Room that is considered by many “a podcaster’s podcast.” They leave their closet to join us in The Wolf Den to talk to us about the way the podcast has changed their careers, how listening to podcasts will change your life, and how a primarily guest-less podcast can find an audience. Plus, we get into the “fight” that didn’t really happen between Dave and Jeff. Thanks to everyone who has used our Amazon Affiliates link to do their holiday shopping!

There seems to be a connection between podcasting and graphic design. There are so many amazing artists out there who make podcast art.
