The robot that can change itself. Welcome back to another day of Odd News! This time, we're talking about a new robot that could change everything we know about our humanoid companions. What's a robot to do when it runs out of power? You'd think the answer would be simple. But for this new robot, it's a bit more complicated. And a lot more creepy. And while this new feature ensures that the robot can keep going, it also has a pretty funny flaw. You'll have to listen to find out what it is! We also continue to celebrate the Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast (PAC), with classic clips from the past 20 years. Today's classic clip is from November of 2011. In this one, Danny Hillcrest takes his video-saving efforts to a ridiculous new extreme. Well, actually, for Danny, this is a pretty standard level of ridiculous. Listen in to find out just what video he's so desperately trying to protect! >> Does this look like Stephen Spielberg?>> Illustration by the talented Julietta Colás Supporting her on Patreon.>> You can also support comedy4cast by becoming a patron on Patreon>> Or you can get Clinton a Dunkin' card or a cup of coffee via Ko-Fi>> Follow comedy4cast on BlueSky, Instagram, Facebook, MeWe, and Mastodon >> Give us a call via the Super Secret Phone Line (213) 290-4451>> Also check out Clinton's other podcast, The Topic is Trek>> Certain sounds effects heard on comedy4cast are courtesy of freeSFX and FreeSound.org Click here for a transcript of this episode.

Engineers take a turn for the worse. In today's edition of Odd News PAC, we're talking about all the things that can make a daily commute a little more interesting, or in some cases, a lot more confusing. And one new bridge, in particular, has taken road hazards to a whole new level. There are plenty of design choices here that will leave you scratching your head. And gripping the steering wheel! The details are so wild, you'll have to hear the full story for yourself. Then, as we continue our celebration of 20 years of comedy4cast, we once again dig into the archives. Today's classic clip is from October 2011. Clinton brings in a memory expert to help him with his name-remembering skills. But rather than begin right away, Clinton first has the teacher try to help Cap, the Venus Arms Hotel & Towers old-as-dirt Bell Captain, improve his Swiss cheese memory. It's a great example of the kind of confusion we specialize in here at comedy4cast.

Finally, a snack that's shockingly good. In this installment of our Odd News series, we're zapping our way back in time to an unforgettable childhood experience. You know the one: that moment you did something your parents would have been horrified by, just to see what would happen. It's a story that involves the creation of a new snack. One that will please your taste buds. Or at least the tip of your tongue. We'll dive into the curious origins of this snack's inspiration and discover the secret behind its electrifying taste. And speaking of things that stand the test of time, we're celebrating our 20th anniversary all month long! For our classic clip this episode, we're rolling back the clock to 2010 for a clip from an episode titled, "Celebrating 5 years of not being featured on iTunes." It was a star-studded affair with fellow podcasting pioneers Brian Ibbott, Dan Klass, and C.C. Chapman bursting in to offer their unique brand of congratulations. It's a chaotic, hilarious look back at a simpler time in podcasting history. So grab your headphones and get ready for a trip down memory lane, whether it's through a shocking new snack or a classic comedy4cast moment. >> Guest Star: Brian Ibbott from Coverville>> Guest Star: Dan Klass from The Bitterest Pill>> C.C.

These wolves seem uninterested in marriage. Hello, comedy4cast listeners and odd news enthusiasts! We're back with another installment in our month-long look at strange-but-true stories. This time, we're heading to the ranchlands of the American West, where a surprisingly modern solution is being used to solve a very old problem. When a rancher's cattle are being targeted by wolves, what's a person to do? The U.S. Department of Agriculture has an idea. And a high-tech one at that! This episode dives into the details of this high-flying approach to wildlife management.  What's involved? Let's just say that these wolves are about to get an earful. You'll have to listen to find out just what kind of auditory assault these drones are bringing to the battle. After our main story, we're taking a trip back to the archives for our Platinum Anniversary (PAC) clip. This one is from an April 18, 2009 episode and features the one and only Jake Filbuster attempting to give a simple, straightforward commentary on a hot topic: Zombies.  Jake has some very strong, very hilarious opinions on the living dead and why they may not be right for today's fast-paced world. Whether you're a long-time listener or this is your first time hearing Jake's unique brand of commentary, it's a classic that's not to be missed.

Sandwiching in a story about bread. We're already a few days into our month of Odd News PAC stories for the Dog Days of Podcasting, and today we're serving up something truly stale. But in a good way! In this edition, we're slicing into the baffling tale of a 5,000-year-old loaf of bread unearthed by archaeologists in Türkiye. And there's no doubt about it, this is one mysterious loaf. Who baked it? Why was it buried under the entrance to a house? Was it part of an ancient ritual? So many questions. You'll have to listen to find out what rye comments Clinton will make about this very odd discovery. But that's not all! As we continue to celebrate the Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast, we're looking back at some of our favorite moments. This episode features a classic clip from 2006 with a skit that finds Clinton answering listener emails, with the help of fellow podcasters. It's a hilarious look back at a much simpler time in podcasting. So, why wheat? Press play and let us know: Would you try a slice of 5,000-year-old bread?

Sit back and learn about exotic places like Seborga, Ladonia, and Westartica. You'll think they sound too good to be true. But don't tell that to their ambassadors. In fact, they'll insist there's something for everyone in their tiny countries. Get ready to discover the bizarre world of micronations and an ambitious individual who built an entire business around them. Oh. Did we mention the story involves a new song by Clinton? Well, it does! Plus more classic comedy from the vault! Then, we carry on with our Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast (PAC) series. Continuing through our 20 years of shows, we've found a great clip for you today. Get ready to revisit a hilarious moment from January 2006. You'll be introduced to Clinton's very expensive, very high-tech new digital camera, the Specular MS-B4500. And it turns out this camera has more than just a lens. It seems to have a mind of its own! You'll laugh as Clinton tries to navigate voice prompts, change annoying settings, and simply take a picture with this gabby gadget. So, buckle up for a journey into the ridiculous, from international intrigue to inanimate objects with attitude. It's all waiting for you in the latest comedy4cast episode. >> Support comedy4cast by becoming a patron on Patreon>> Or you can get Clinton a Dunkin' card or a cup of coffee via Ko-Fi>> Follow comedy4cast on BlueSky, Instagram, Facebook, MeWe, and Mastodon >> Give us a call via the Super Secret Phone Line (213) 290-4451>> Also check out Clinton's other podcast, The Topic is Trek>> Certain sounds effects heard on comedy4cast are courtesy of freeSFX and FreeSound.org Click here for a transcript of this episode.

Ancient bottle, unexpected message, modern laughs! Get ready for another dose of the delightfully bizarre! In this edition of our month-long Odd News PAC series, we bring you a true story that proves reality is often stranger, and far funnier, than fiction. Imagine this – a faded glass bottle washes ashore, containing a message that could easily be from days long past. What secrets does it hold? A desperate plea? A historical revelation? Or something far more unexpectedly hilarious? Researchers are about to find out. Listen to "Bottle With A Message" to discover the surprising truth behind this curious find. Let's just say it involves a well-known spirit. And not the ghostly kind. Oh, and if you know your 1990's dance crazes, that might be a big help. This is one comedic unraveling you won't want to miss! Plus, we continue to celebrate 20 years of comedy4cast. In this episode, our Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast (PAC) clip was first released in October of 2005. This one will transport you to a retro-futuristic world. Have you ever wondered what "tomorrow" looked like from a 1950s perspective? Prepare for a wonderfully misguided, incredibly funny journey through antiquated predictions of work, school, and even movie nights! Don't just read about it, hear all the laughs and ridiculous details.

The saga of the Seborga shambassy. In today's edition of Odd News PAC, we're inviting you along on a wild trip to some countries that are certainly off the beaten path. Sit back and learn about exotic places like Seborga, Ladonia, and Westartica. You'll think they sound too good to be true. But don't tell that to their ambassadors. In fact, they'll insist there's something for everyone in their tiny countries. Get ready to discover the bizarre world of micronations and an ambitious individual who built an entire business around them. Oh. Did we mention the story involves a new song by Clinton? Well, it does! Plus more classic comedy from the vault! Then, we carry on with our Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast (PAC) series. Continuing through our 20 years of shows, we've found a great clip for you today. Get ready to revisit a hilarious moment from January 2006. You'll be introduced to Clinton's very expensive, very high-tech new digital camera, the Specular MS-B4500. And it turns out this camera has more than just a lens. It seems to have a mind of its own! You'll laugh as Clinton tries to navigate voice prompts, change annoying settings, and simply take a picture with this gabby gadget. So, buckle up for a journey into the ridiculous, from international intrigue to inanimate objects with attitude. It's all waiting for you in the latest comedy4cast episode. >> Support comedy4cast by becoming a patron on Patreon>> Or you can get Clinton a Dunkin' card or a cup of coffee via Ko-Fi>> Follow comedy4cast on BlueSky, Instagram, Facebook, MeWe, and Mastodon >> Give us a call via the Super Secret Phone Line (213) 290-4451>> Also check out Clinton's other podcast, The Topic is Trek>> Certain sounds effects heard on comedy4cast are courtesy of freeSFX and FreeSound.org Click here for a transcript of this episode.

Prepare for a wild ride through the Summer movie season! Welcome back, comedy4cast faithful! Grab your snacks and prepare for a 2025 Summer movie experience unlike any other... as interpreted by our very own Danny Hillcrest! In this episode, Danny takes center stage, much to the dismay of Buzz "Scoop" Crackerjack Thomas. For two decades, you've known Danny for his boundless enthusiasm and, shall we say, unconventional approach to... well, everything. When it comes to movies, Danny's "reviews" are less about critical analysis and more about Danny making wild assumptions. He freely admits his insights come from trailers and random internet comments. This lead to his now-legendary "non-clip clips" which are audio snippets hilariously disconnected from anything in the actual films. Buzz, ever the professional, attempts to maintain order, but as you know, that's often a losing battle when Danny's around. Their dynamic is a cornerstone of comedy4cast, offering a delightful clash between chaos and journalistic integrity. In this Danny turn his unique lens on three major summer releases, "28 Years Later", "Superman", and "Fantastic Four: First Steps."  In his "28 Years Later" preview, Danny goes down a truly unexpected rabbit hole, proving that even a zombie apocalypse can't escape his imaginative (and utterly misinformed) grasp. According to Danny, the Man of Steel faces his greatest challenge yet in "Superman". But it's a threat we're not sure even James Gunn could have seen coming. And Danny introduces us to the iconic Marvel team that stars in "Fantastic Four: First Steps". Kind of.  Listen in as Danny Hillcrest once again proves that when it comes to movies, what you think you know is far less entertaining than what Danny imagines. In this episode, the roles of Tam and Sue Storm are played by Bonnie Kenerdine, and the roles of The Editor and Conspiracy Guy are played by Scott Morris, of the Disney, Indiana podcast, located at disneyindiana.com. And don't forget to consider supporting comedy4cast by becoming a Patreon patron. You can become a patron for as little as $2 a month.
