After he heads back to work, we get into the movie itself. It is very appropriate listening and watching for the darkest month.

Succotash, The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 28, 2021 28:58


Thank you, dear listener, for listening. This is your every-other-weekly-host Marc Hershon and, frankly, I wasn’t sure I was going to get in here this week with our milestone TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH EPISODE, mainly because I had a full-on computer meltdown halfway through cutting clips for this installment. I literally had to cobble all the pieces together on another computer that didn’t have all the usual software I use to do it but, somehow, it all miraculously came together. If you’re just finding us here at Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, we passed our 10-year mark in soundcasting a couple of weeks ago and now we’re clocking in at 250 shows. If you happened to have missed last week, hosted by my alternating guest host Tyson Saner, he featured clips from a trio of comedy soundcasts, including The Blood Buddies: Horror Podcast, Wack Brackets, and Daydrinking with Gary & Ellio‪t. You can grab an earful at either Apple or Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, YouTube, Soundcloud, or a kazillion other places that stream and/or download soundcasts. The one place you CAN’T get new installments of Succotash is, apparently, the Laughable app any longer. Say what? Yes, it’s apparently true. We got a tweet from @CirclinCLE last week informing us that their service hasn’t been updating for a while now. I checked the Laughable website and it’s just…gone. I tried reaching out to Ned Kenney, the founder of the app and a friend of Succotash for years starting when Laughable kicked off, but he seems to have vanished. Ned, if you’re out there, send us a note and let us know you’re okay! I’ve got a quartet of clips for you this week — three new-to-us shows: Bummer Boys, The Celebrity Memoir Book Club, and Odd Dad Out. And we have an old friend and supporter of the Succ, the gang over at The Salty Language Podcast. I also have a pair of belated (but always welcome) congratulatory 10th Anniversary messages that we’ll be hearing from along the way – one from Chris Gore of Film Threat and the departed PodCRASH soundcast, the other from Chris Mancini, a recent guest and host of not one, not two, but THREE soundcasts. And, as always, these sounds of soundcasts are brought to you buy Henderson’s Pants, who bring you their new Bivouac Briefs! Finally, later on in the show, we’re going to resurrect the TweetSack, that portion of the show where we would have read from our mailbag IF we had a mailbag and IF anyone sent us cards and letters. Instead, we’ll just mention the fine folks who mentioned us in their tweets this past week. But now, it’s onto the clips… CLIPS Bummer BoysThe Bummer Boys are hosts Alex Kolanko and Mike Carrozza, who are improvisational comedians that host a show about songs that made them sad each week. But they’ve changed their tune for their recent Epi53, along with guest comedian and writer Josh Gondleman. They’ve even entitled the episode “Bouncy Boys”. In our clip, they are talking about the art of writing the consummate Jeopardy! question. Celebrity Memoir Book ClubFrom two male hosts in the last show to a pair of female hosts, we jump over to the Celebrity Memoir Book Club. New York comedians Claire Parker and Ashley Hamilton don’t suffer fools or celebs who pen books about their rarefied lives. Not so, however, when it comes to Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and his autobiographical 2016 memoir Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums. The ladies seem a little gaga for this unapologetic ladies’ man, and this clip touches on that a bit about his wife or wives or maybe wife? Odd Dad OutNext up is a solo-hosted soundcast, Odd Dad Out, with stay-at-home-dad Adam Higgins doing his thing: talking about wrangling his kids, stoking the fires of his marriage, and lots of pretty much whatever jumps into his head. (To be fair, I THINK Adam staked out his home-dad status before the COVID lockdown when almost every dad because a stay-at-home version.) In our clip, which hails from his recent Epi201, he castigates that gender-reveal party run amok in the state of Maine just a few weeks ago that resulted in an actual earthquake. (This entire episode, available wherever fine comedy soundcasts hang out, is an interesting listen as Adam takes us through the gradual re-immersion of his three sons in the back-on-campus school experience, which happened for him in stages because of the different ages of his kids.) Salty Language PodcastTony and Bryan, hosts of the Salty Language Podcast, have been bros and buds since the 1980s. And their shows rambles around through pop culture dating from then ‘til now, what their lives are like, and all sorts of goofy stuff that tickles their brains. In a recent episode entitled “Boot Knife”, they meander through a lot of topics, so I shaved off a few minutes where they talk about what disease Salma Hayek struggles to overcome, the weird retinue of Allan Quartermain movies, and other associated twaddle. Done That, then, will do it for this rather inauspicious, run-of-the-mill epi250 of Succotash. Happy to have you with us, just doing you while we do us. Remember to follow us on the socials @SuccotashShow and you can reach out to us there with your suggestions of comedy soundcasts my co-host Tyson and I should go grab a listen to. Speaking of Tyson, he’ll be here in the feed next week with Episode 251, sporting another astounding array of comedy soundcast clips. Until that time, please be mindful that there’s still a pandemic going on so socially distance, wear a mask when you should wash your hands, and if anyone asks if you’re listening to anything good these days, remember to pass the Succotash. Tah. — Marc Hershon

Viral is a podcast series looking at the spread of COVID 19 as it continues to affect Ireland and the International world in a growing capacity. Intensive care unit capacity has been one of the focal points in Ireland's approach to combating the Coronavirus outbreak, and a huge emphasis since day one, has been made in maximising the allocation of resources. On today's podcast , The Irish Sun's Adam Higgins speaks about a Patient Evaluation Process being carried out at major hospitals along the west coast of Ireland, that ranks patients numerically by age, medical conditions and sometimes by gender in a bid to prioritise ICU capacity. We also take a look at the chequered past of Home-working and discuss whether a cultural move towards remote work is something that only benefits the privileged in society with Helen McCarthy, Cambridge University Historian and author of Double Lives: A History of Working Motherhood.Produced by UrbanMediaHosted by Ian DoyleMusic by Psykick See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sorry for the delayed episode this week! If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you may have seen that I went to DC Podfest. And the first day I was there, I woke up with the beginnings of a cold. Luckily, I was able to get a hold of a bottle of Zicam fairly quickly and stave off the cold for a few days … until I got home. And then, it hit. This week has been a bit of a fever dream for me, but it made me start to wonder about some of the things we say when we're sick and the origins, so get ready for a bit of an etymology episode. But as long as there have been humans, humans have been getting sick, and many of these idioms carry a lot of unverifiable history with them.

If you follow @StoryBehindPod on Instagram, you may have seen that I went to Boston last weekend for the Sound Education conference at Harvard University to be on a panel with other history podcasters that included Liz Covart from Ben Franklin's World, Patrick Wyman from Tides of History, and David Stenhouse from BackStory. I respect these podcasters greatly and it was such an honor to be in the same room as them. Because my travel schedule is pretty hectic this month, I only stayed in Boston for one day so I didn't get to experience anything outside of Harvard and the train station, but if you've ever been to Boston, you know that it seems there's history on every street. I got to hang out with Chris Nesi from The House of #EdTech podcast while I was there and he suggested I do an episode relating to Boston. Since any history regarding Boston would be a huge undertaking, I wanted to pick something a little more obscure, but still very much Boston-related.

This is a very special episode of The Story Behind. Believe it or not, two years ago I pressed Publish on the first three episodes of this podcast, The Story Behind the Theremin, The Story Behind Dry Ice, and The Story Behind Sugar Skulls. This podcast was supposed to be a side-project for me. It was supposed to just take up a little of my time, so I could continue my hobby of podcasting while holding a full-time job and when I was pregnant with my son. That's what it was supposed to be. But in the two years since the show began, it took on more. It became my favorite distraction. It allowed me to geek out over things I never had a reason to learn otherwise. And it kept my brain from going to complete mush with pregnancy brain and post-partum brain. Plus, it led me to a career in podcasting and finally, it became the basis for The Story Behind book. Now, after last year's one-year and 100th episode special of The Story Behind The Musical, which was sung, I knew it would take a lot to top that for this year's episode. In fact, it's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. There's nothing that a 100 episodes or more could ever do. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind “Africa” by Toto.

If you're a parent who has even been on Pinterest and looked for activities for your child, you've probably seen at least a dozen different recipes for modeling clay or sensory dough, as it's sometimes called. Most of the recipes are different variations on the mixture of flour, water and salt dough I remember using to make Christmas ornaments. So, one morning this week, I was searching for a recipe for my son. I spent a good 20 minutes making it, mixing in different colors, getting just the right proportions of flour to water to coconut oil so it wouldn't stick to my hands or leave a greasy mess, only to have my son pick it up, drop it on the cat, and decide he was done with it. 20 minutes of making it, only to have it covered in cat hair after a minute or so. After all that, I threw away the dough I had made and added today's topic to the shopping list partially because it was easier to keep in the house and more convenient. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Play-Doh. Find out more about The Story Behind Book!

If you're listening to this episode when it comes out, you may know that The Story Behind book will be released on Monday, October 15th. In the spirit of that, I'll be doing a few episodes revolving around books. This topic seemed almost too easy to cover, since the invention was something I think we all remember learning about in grammar school. But, as per usual with this podcast and the book, whenever I dig a little deeper, I always find out new information that wasn't in my history books. While those books were most likely printed using modern-day printers, there wouldn't even have been widespread use of books without today's topic in the first place. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind the Printing Press. I'll be releasing a separate episode with a book update, plus a sneak peek into the book's acknowledgments because I really want to thank everyone, not just in the book, but also in the podcast, so check your podcast app and the show notes for that link.

There was a lot of chemistry involved and anyone who knew me in high school knows that was the worst subject for me. When you listen to the episode, you'll notice I kept the chemistry aspect to a minimum. But as I kept researching, what intrigued me the most was when the chemistry switched to biology and women's studies toward the end, when working conditions for those making today's subject resulted in a serious epidemic and women went on strike to protect themselves and other workers.

If you haven't pre-ordered your copy yet, you can find the book on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. Now, believe it or not, there are a lot of books with “The Story Behind” in the title, so people have said searching The Story Behind with my name works well. Or, the super easy way is to go to TheStoryBehindBook.com and click the links over there. By the way, the more people order the book, the more the price will go down, and when you pre-order on Amazon, you won't be charged until the day it releases, so the more people you share this news with, the more the price will go down. And, one more thing, I was told by my publisher to let people know that if you are an Amazon Associates member, you can make an affiliate link to the book on Amazon and share the link with your audience on your blog or website to receive a little kickback when people purchase it using your link. Anyway, thank you to everyone who has been promoting the book so far. You are all amazing and it's meant the world to me that fellow podcasters and listeners have been some of my biggest supporters. This really is one of the best communities in the world. So, thank you! ---- Find out more about The Story Behind Book! Check out Emily's other podcast, Hate to Weight!

Today I'm doing a collaborative show with Josh Hallmark from the podcast Our Americana, which explores unique small towns across America through the stories that impact, cultivate, and challenge community. America can feel oppressive. Every day it feels more and more like pieces of it are disappearing. That it's losing its value. But … there are monuments and mementos of the past if we just take a moment from our busy lives to take a look. Strange reminders of small victories, new life, love stories, and the strength of community. These stories are all around us, relics of station wagon days, on the highways and gravel roads that connect us all. It's easy to dismiss them as icons of capitalism; if you build it, they will come, and buy. But, there's always something more there, something deeper.

One of my favorite things about doing this podcast is looking at things in everyday life and wondering if they still have the same purpose they did when they were invented. This week's subject is a bit ambiguous. It's most notably known for bringing a pop of color and whimsy to an otherwise drab suit, but aside from that, it's more seen as form over function. Yet it's so ubiquitous and has been around for hundreds of years, showing no signs of going out of fashion, despite many men counting down the minutes until they can loosen theirs every day. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind the Necktie. Find out more about The Story Behind Book! Check out Emily's other podcast, Hate to Weight!

Welcome to The Story Behind: Clue Series. In every episode of this series, we talk about the history of one of the original weapons used in the game, “Clue.” This series may not be appropriate for all ages and listener discretion is advised. This is the second-to-last episode of The Story Behind Clue Series. Since we're out of weapons to talk about, let's shift our attention to the movie I've gotten tons of clips from. And I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has sent in clips for the series -- I had a lot of fun putting these episodes together. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Clue: The Movie. The Clue Series Butler you heard at the beginning of the episode was played by Paul from Rick and Paul Heal the World. The role of Roger Ebert was played by Adam Higgins from Odd Dad Out and Mom & Dad Cuss a Little. Singing telegram imitation provided by Amy from Ladies Love Paul Rudd.  Join The Story Behind Discussion Group on Facebook!
