Podcast appearances and mentions of Joe Pera

This week on Transmissions, a return guest, the great comedian, writer, actor, and podcaster Joe Pera. Joe first appeared here on Transmissions in 2020 alongside his friend and collaborator James Wallace aka Skyway Man, and we've wanted to have him back ever since. This talk is a blast, covering everything from the beauty of Phoenix's Sky Harbor airport to representations of Catholicism in science fiction to Joe's experience seeing the late Mitch Hedberg live. Pera's TV show, Joe Pera Talks With You, ran for three seasons on Adult Swim between 2018-2021. Quiet and restrained but deeply funny, the show's gentle slice of life stories and meditative pace made it an utterly unique project. Joe's latest work includes the 2023 stand up special Slow and Steady and Drifting Off With Joe Pera, a podcast designed specifically to help lull listeners to sleep. In addition to standard episodes covering topics like pre-bedtime drinks, wind, New York City ghosts, and soup, there are extended 8-hour versions of episodes as well, allowing for maximum slumbertime engagement. Close your eyes and settle in: here's an episode of Transmissions you might be able to doze off to.  You can read a full transcript of this conversation at Aquarium Drunkard, where you'll find 20 years worth of playlists, recommendations, reviews, interviews, podcasts, essays, and more. With your support, here's to another decade.

Carmen Christopher is one of those comedians who you've definitely seen before but can't totally be sure how you know his face. Over the past several years, he's popped up in bit parts on show's like ‘Shrill,' ‘I Think You Should Leave,' and most notably—given his born and bred Chicago roots—all three seasons of ‘The Bear.' In this episode, Christopher talks about putting together his breakthrough, Chicago-themed stand-up special ‘Live From the Windy City,' which arrives on the Veeps streaming platform August 1st. He also shares stories about collaborating with alt-comedy icons including Joe Pera and Tim Robinson, why he's no longer interested in pursuing SNL after two unsuccessful auditions, that time he almost killed David Letterman, serving as a writer on Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie's ‘The Curse' and more.

Social media has come a long way over the last two decades. Platforms like Facebook and Twitter weren't just great places to connect with others; they became how we built our creative businesses, found clients, and promoted our work. But all good things must come to an end. Profits and shareholders inevitably entered the fray, twisting algorithms and features upside down. We've spent much time and effort chasing likes and clicks until we became exhausted, disengaged, and ready to try anything to market ourselves other than fire out another update. Perhaps we're going through a shift again, as this week's guest might allude. Julian Glander is a Pittsburgh-based multidisciplinary artist who grew his reputation and business online but is now redefining his relationship with social networks. As a self-described "Internet artist", he admits he's trying to break or retrain his social media habits and find ways to use his time online more productively and intentionally. This new approach played a big part in developing his new film, Boys Go to Jupiter – a fantastical coming-of-age story that he has self-financed and put together with a small team over the last few years. The movie tells the story of a teenage delivery driver in suburban Florida whose life is turned topsy-turvy by the arrival of a mysterious and adorable creature from another world. It's been a real labour of love and, by far, the most ambitious and demanding thing he's ever worked on. To get it done, though, he had to pull lessons from his experiences in many different fields: illustration, video games, music, and animation. But he also made the best use of the web, calling upon his social networks to cast and recruit almost every voice actor in this film, including Joe Pera, Sarah Sherman and Elsie Fisher. He's even embraced TikTok and found success there, making new contacts and finding fresh inspiration. As our online habits continue to change, we wanted to find out how one successful artist is adapting and embracing what seems to be a new era of social media and how we might follow suit.

You know that old saying "the clothes make the man?" Well this week, Joe Pera, whose new stand-up special 'Slow & Steady' is out now on YouTube, joins us to conclusively demonstrate that it is not only incorrect but also potentially dangerous misinformation. That's right, the personal is political and Joe is here to examine the hat that he is currently wearing with a sartorial lense so critical that Anna Wintour is shaking in her little boots. Plus, is there a wrong way to receive a gift? Is there such thing as a free upgrade? And are you having a conversation with masculinity or are you just wearing cargo shorts? We can't answer everything, but we can certainly ask and that should count for something!Come to our extra-spooky HALLOWEEN LIVE SHOW at the Bell House in Brooklyn on 10/27: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/straightiolab-tickets-728339060737?aff=oddtdtcreator Subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/straightiolab for bonus episodes twice a month and don't forget to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Josh Parham, Cody Dericks, Daniel Howat, Isaiah Washington & Will Mavity. Together, we're discussing the latest film from Pixar, "Elemental" starring Leah Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, Ronnie del Carmen, Shila Ommi, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Catherine O'Hara, Mason Wertheimer, Joe Pera & Matt Yang King. After its world premiere at Cannes, expectations were brought down by the mixed reviews but having seen it ourselves now, what did we ultimately think of the animation studio's first rom-com? What did we think of its immigrant story exploring the relationship between a daughter and her parents? Tune in as we discuss these elements (pun intended) along with the film's score, animation, voice acting, awards potential, and more! Thank you, and enjoy!

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a comedian and a musician who recently joined forces to make a music video: Joe Pera and Dan Wriggins. Joe Pera is a stand-up comedian who's best known as the star and creator of Joe Pera Talks With You, the Adult Swim TV show about the beautifully modest existence of a middle-school choir instructor in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It's a show unlike anything else on TV, past or present, and it's a direct reflection of Pera's unassuming comedic persona: In other words, it's hard to tell where Joe Pera the character ends and Joe Pera the guy begins. It's also insightful, weird, and decidedly sweet. And while the show just finished its three-season run recently, it won't be the last the world sees of Pera. In fact, he's in the midst of a stand-up tour right now, and you can find dates at joepera.com. Oh, and he also just landed the role of James Bond, which you can hear all about on his recent Seth Meyers appearance. Seems like kind of a big deal. Yet Pera still has time to help out indie bands like Friendship, whose singer and songwriter Dan Wriggins is the other participant in today's chat. Friendship is made up of old friends—no surprise there—though the band is actually named after a town in Maine near where they grew up. They're currently based in Philadelphia, though Wriggins Zoomed in for this chat from Little Cranberry Island, Maine, where he also spent time as a kid. That island is also where Friendship and Joe Pera shot the video for “Hank,” from the band's brand new album, Love The Stranger. It's the band's fourth full-length and first for the always reliable Merge Records. It's a beautiful record full of straightforward but nuanced observations about life and love. Check out the video for "Hank" right here, which comes up in this chat quite a bit. As I said earlier, that “Hank” video comes up in this conversation, and it leads to Joe and Dan talking about craftsmanship, lobster fishing, and lots more. They talk about touring as a comedy act versus touring as a band, and about how each of them works hard to make their respective art look easy. Oh, and at the end of the chat, Joe finally reveals who his celebrity spouse is, so stay tuned for the whole thing! Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Joe Pera and Dan Wriggins for chatting. If you liked what you heard, they're both on tour—separately—right now. Please follow Talkhouse on your favorite podcasting platform, and check out all the great written features we've got on Talkhouse.com. This episode was produced by Myron Kaplan, and the Talkhouse theme is composed and performed by the Range. See you next time!
