There was a time before iPods when women had pubic hair and talk radio was edgy, insightful and hilarious. Those times, much like the wild buffalo and the American middle class, have disappeared. But Papa's Basement remembers, and tries to recapture their magic twice a week. Do we succeed? Well, why…

Mikael surprising us with a massive, audible fart. For the better part of two decades, if you were talking improv comedy in Washington, D.C., you were talking Shawn Westfall. The man established the curriculums taught to countless performers in the city, founded and ran his own improv theater (RIP Unified Scene!), and enthralled innumerable audiences with his longtime comedic partner Mikael Johnson as part of the improv duo ShawnMikael[s]. While Shawn left DC and now calls Portland, OR home, he was back in town for the holidays, and I was lucky enough to get him on the show alongside Mikael. They're both as funny as ever, and I think you'll love ("and share?," said in my guiltiest Jewish mother voice) the episode.
