There is a trigger warning at the top of this episode regarding suicide, as the poem in this week's episode deals directly with the topic. The discussion surrounding the subject is that of respect for the author's history, but also how the author chose a humorous lens to reflect a dark subject matter. Elizabeth is eager to introduce her longtime friend, Lauren Flans. Lauren is a contemporary multi-hyphenate. She was a recurring cast member on MTV's Wild ‘n Out and Comedy Central's Another Period. She's an active member of Lost Moon Radio, which is a live comedy and music group in LA and is the current co-host of Coming Out with Lauren and Nicole, a podcast where they host queer folks from all walks of life to tell the tales of how they came out. In their discussion of Dorothy Parker's Resume Lauren notes how the author would likely be cancelled on Twitter, how being bitter and snarky made Parker hopelessly cool, and how she voluntarily offers poetry collections to friends. There are musings on Lauren's longtime crush on Jennifer Jason Leigh and Elizabeth shares a sexy little John Keats line. “[Dorothy Parker] was smart and had this caustic wit and was living in the 1920's when everything was repressed and she was like ‘Fuck everything!' and I just thought that was hopelessly cool.” -Lauren Flans Timestamps: 00:00:00 Trigger Warning (Suicide) 00:00:48 Guest Introduction 00:03:05 Poem Reading (Lauren) 00:03:35 Author Info 00:04:50 Lauren's Relationship to the Poem 00:14:50 Pause / Poem Reading (Elizabeth) 00:16:30 Reflection & Offering Poem & Links: Resume by Dorothy Parker (© 1926) Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats (© 1819) The Portable Dorothy Parker Far From Well (Parker's Review of The House at Pooh Corner) Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle (Film © 1994) The Algonquin Round Table I.O.P.

Idi Amin was a brutal dictator whose cruelty knew no bounds. Dan and Doug attempt to explore the history and psychology behind him, and why the human species seems to periodically produce leaders of this ilk, with no comparisons at all to any particular modern example. As always, please send feedback to us at @podcastbutevil, and be sure to like, rate, and subscribe. Special thanks to Lost Moon Radio for the use of “Not Your Despot Anymore” by Dylan Ris, Ryan Harrison, and Frank Smith. More Lost Moon at www.lostmoonradio.com.
Like an Austrian bodybuilder turned movie star turned mediocre politician, we're back! In this episode, we discuss whether there's an underlying sexual component to all cereal mascots, cruise ship hypnotist The Great Cambroni faces his greatest challenge yet, and Dan purchases a new office chair. (Probably should have led with that.) See Lauren and Dan LIVE this week only in ESCAPE FROM THE LOST MOON! Tickets: lostmoonradio.com

Lauren Ludwig (Hamlet-Mobile, Lost Moon Radio) is the director and adaptor of And The Drum, a movement based immersive in LA's Koreatown that is one part dinner party and two parts exploration of the poetry of Martha Marion. The piece, performed at Marion's own home, is one of the more stunning pieces of work to be staged on LA's immersive scene in the past year. Ludwig speaks with host Noah Nelson (@noahjnelson) about her process for And The Drum in this fast paced, insightful discussion. All that and the usual news and notes.
Brandon and Doug are joined by special guest Dan Oster from the hilarious Lost Moon Radio comedy show for an episode all about the science of zombies and surviving the zombie apocalypse.
Ep. 006 - LAUREN FLANS In the Westcast Studio, the guys are joined by talented improviser and world traveler, Lauren Flans (Boom Chicago, Lost Moon Radio, Mission IMPROVable, Wild N Out). She talks about her experiences on the Second City Touring Boats using Coronas as currency, being denied the drums at an early age, and logicking her way through a season as a cast regular on MTV's Wild N Out. They talk working with friends in the creative context of her wildly popular Lost Moon Radio live show. Up top, Sean & Chris talk Halloween costumes and Chris's 10 Year college reunion. Enjoy!
Lauren and I talk about the creative and development challenges of producing a stage/movie project and how they correlate to video game development. We touch on almost every topic possible from gamification, to creating and finishing ideas to why some people’s careers take off and others’ don’t. It’s a really fun and interesting interview. Before the interview I talk a little about beginner game design decisions and how to make a good design choice.

I'm trying desperately to get this edition of the Comedy Podcast Podcast up while it is still officially International Succotash Day. (As so declared by the inimitable Jabs of The DHead Factor podcast in Australia.) All day long our podcaster friends have been tweeting and messaging words of praise and support for the show — thanks, everybody! — and I've been enjoying seeing the number of downloads and the reviews and ratings go up! I'm Marc, he's THAT Chris Gore… Great fun this episode with my special guest co-host That Chris Gore onboard. Chris, the host of the PodCRASH podcast as well as regular on G4's Attack Of The Show, was in San Francisco for Stitcher's Podcast Awards. We talked about his tenure as publisher of one of my favorite magazines, FilmTHREAT, as well as his multi-pronged career doing all kinds of cool stuff in TV, the internet and film. Chris picked some nice clips for this epi, all of which I'd never covered before, and after we talked about his podcast — listeners of Succotash have heard from PodCRASH here previously — where he appears on other podcasts, then plays excerpts on his show. Which means that you've be able to hear part of this episode of Succotash on a future episode of PodCRASH. It's as about as meta an experience as you're likely to find. Two Marcs: Maron & Hershon Last Minute: Since I was late getting this up, I can tell you that I DID end up attending the Stitcher Awards with special guest co-host Chris and it was a grand time. I met the CEO of Stitcher, Noah Shanok, and even got a picture with the evening's host, WTF's Marc Maron. Sadly, though nominated for both Best New Show and Best Album Artwork, Chris didn't end up taking up an Itchy or whatever they call their awards. CLIPS PodCRASH A clip from PodCRASH epi55, wherein our guest co-host Chris Gore crashes Zane Lamprey Live. The main ingredient here seems to be alcohol. Cheers! Joe Rogan ExperienceComedian and UFC commentator Joe Rogan, well-known for hosting TV's Fear Factor, hosts a daily podcast where he talks to other comics, friends and just plain interesting folks. His show is part of the Deathsquad network of podcasts. Lost Moon RadioI met someone attached to Lost Moon Radio at the LA PodFest in October and he suggested I check it out. Now we're doing the same for you. Chris and I both loved the sound and feel of this sketch group out of Los Angeles, high prise considering this is only their third podcast. Pointless: With Kevin PereiraBest known as the co-host (and Chris Gore's colleague) on Attack Of The Show on G4, host Kevin Pereira has kicked off a new podcast on the Deathsquad network. In this clip he's chatting it up with successful YouTube video creator Freddie Wong. No Pressure To Be FunnyI'm a huge fan of dry, witty, and biting British comedy. Having cut my teeth on Monty Python way back when they first crept into the US, I'm pleased to discover No Pressure To Be Funny. Hosted by James O’Brien, created by with Nick Revell and Alistair Barrie, each episode pulls a panel together from the arts, media and politics, where they then chat about that week's news in front of a live audience. This clip features Revell with a monolog about the war in Afghanistan, in a style that smacks of Douglas Adams. Brilliant. Throwing ShadeChis brings in this clip from Throwing Shade, a new-to-me podcast. Hosts Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi are both prolific writers and comedians whose weekly show focuses on politics, entertainment, gay rights and women's issues. This is pretty damn funny chat. RIFF-erendumSan Francisco-based comedians Steven Pearl and Al Clethen, a couple of buddies of mine, started up RIFF-erendum so they could converse with some of THEIR favorite comedians and musicians. In the latest episode, they chew the fat with fellow Bay Area comic Jeff Applebaum. We close out Epi42 with the return of Will Durst and his Burst O' Durst. With the elections over, our Ambassador to the Middle sets his sights on what the lame ducks in Congress are doing…or not doing…as the year winds down. We're hoping to grace a pre-Christmas episode with a live appearance by the aforementioned Will Durst. By the way, if you're doing some driving over this holiday season, just remember that a long car ride is an excellent place to pass the Succotash! — Marc Hershon
DAN OSTER is on the show. He’s the first guest I’ve ever had who’s not mostly a UCB performer. He’s a coach and a player over at The Improv Space in Westwood. He was a player at Boom Chicago and had a stint on MadTV. We talk a lot about organic improv, finding ways to connect at the top of scenes, and the light and dark of game. Also, his group Lost Moon Radio won Top of the Fringe for the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Oh man, I hope this episode gets a bunch of crazy feedback too. Subscribe. Rate. Comment. Enjoy.
