If you love Sklarbro Country but not enough to get a tattoo of Randy and Jason, listening to this week’s episode is a good enough gesture. Our guest is The League’s Steve Rannazzisi who talks to us about his background in theater and improv and who shocks us with the fascinating story of why he left New York City. First time guest Tim Gunn calls in and puts us in a headlock with his secret athletic prowess, concluding this knock-out episode. If you live in Chicago be sure to see The Sklars this weekend at the Mayne Stage theater, and if you live elsewhere why not leave them an early Hanukkah present in the form of an iTunes review!

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.

We’re kicking it Vermont style this week on Sklarbro Country! We’ve prepared a special post-Thanksgiving treat for you all with special guests Patton Oswalt and James Taylor. Patton uses appearance number three to tell us about his hot, smelly summer in New York, document the demise and revival of alternative comedy, and explain why The Texas Chain Saw Massacre deserved an Oscar in sound design. James Taylor shows off his “urban” side on his debut performance and clues us into what Monday Night Football listeners can look forward to. Plus we’ve been spying on The Iron Sheik’s twitter account and in Ivan Calderon’s fridge, so we have a nice fresh batch of takes for everyone. Treat your turkey hangover with Sklarbro Country!
