Disappointed with the last few seasons of The Walking Dead? Do you think that Season 11 make Fonzie's shark-jumping look like high art? You are not alone. Parody of Randy Newman's "Short People," a song that (as a short person) always annoyed me. (Just for the record, this song is basically a summary of my husband's rant about the show. Joe Giacoio And I can slop my way through this song on piano, but the recording is actually the fabulously talented Bill Larkin, who, if you don't know him, why not? He's also hilarious).

FRIENDS, Our second show back in the Green Mill was a baller birthday bash for a not-quite-but-maybe-almost post-COVID America. Despite the world literally burning, several of our old-school fave contributors still made a big splash, to everyone's delight. As we attempted to return ever-so-gradually to normalcy, the news gods blessed us with some true silliness—enjoy the tale of the man stopped by Belfast police who insisted the cocaine discovered between his buttcheeks must have been placed there by somewhere else—as well as challenging solemn occasions, like the passing of Donald Rumsfeld. In addition to freshly written current-events segments, swinging tunes by Chicago's great jazz singer Paul Marinaro, musical comedy by our own Bill Larkin, and standup comedy from visiting Houston-based funnyman Zahid Dewji round out an excellent audio magazine experience. In a few weeks this currently public podcast is going back to being an exclusive thank you, accessible only to our monthly donors. But we still wanted to thank you for sticking with us through so much by sharing it with everyone for a little while longer. For now feel free to alert a fellow Machete fan that this episode is available to all. Thanks, as ever, for the support that makes it happen. And dig this hot lineup: MASTHEAD Bill Larkin Zahid Dewji Atra Asdou and Gary Pascal Paul Marinaro Sorhab Forouzesh Mark Chrisler The Braided Janes

Greetings, Machete faithful. In honor of the year that nearly finished all of us off but didn't, we bring you a special year-end podcast we hope will help you y'all over as we wait patiently for the vaccine to work its mojo and allow us to finally gather at the Green Mill again. This episode features archive performances from some of our regular contributors, fresh content from our resident musical madman Bill Larkin and feathered sage Chad the Bird, and even guest appearances by President-elect Biden and Sarah Huckabee Sanders (!), in all their tipsy Saturday afternoon glory. We can't wait to see you on the other side of the worst year in our collective memory, but in the meantime may this episode help make your new year's celebration a warm one, and serve a humble THANK YOU for your endless faith and generous financial support in our endeavors.
