The tables turn in a special ep featuring past guest (and significant other) Eric "EMB" Braband interviewing MBS about her love of wolves. That's what wuves means. The interest mostly stems from reading and pet choices made as a kid, was cultivated via gifts and articles from family members over the years, and was reinvigorated thanks to an amazingly thoughtful gift from the guest host last year. MBS compares herself to wuves as a fellow feast or famine eater, Eric says she's loyal, and they both agree she has a big pack to run in.

Season One In an effort to uncover where corruption in American politics starts, The Probe goes deep inside an average high school student body presidential election. Listen as hosts Lisa Burton and Mary Beth Smith meet the candidates and their families, speculate on their motives for running, and unmask all the nasty aspects of running for office at any level.   Episode 8 Next Fall. After some shocking news in July, The Probe team felt it was essential to get back into the thick of things at FDRHS. We check in with each of the candidates and their progress one last time, and an undeniably hopeful tone emits itself throughout. Except for maybe when we talk to Vice Principal Hannigan. Was Thomas prepared to take office? Will Staci remain active in the student government? Where is Cori? Who really is August Tooley-Anderson? No really, who? It was a long summer.   Credits: Lisa Burton: Lisa Burton Mary Beth Smith: Mary Beth Smith   Thomas Buffington, Jr.: Clayton Margeson Staci Kramer: Shira Wilson Cori Wilson: Lauren Walker August Tooley-Anderson: Brian Holden Vice Principal Curtis Hannigan: Ryan Ben Adam Anderson: Chris Rathjen Artie Anderson: John Thibodeaux Meryl Kramer: Allison Ringhand Charlotte Buffington: Jessye Mueller Thomas Buffington Sr.: Tim Dunn   Produced by Matt Young, Lisa Burton, Mary Beth Smith and Hannah Parsons Editor: Hannah Parsons Original Music: Hannah Parsons Other Music: Final Cut Pro, iLife, and iMovie Sound Effects  The Probe Logo: Maxwell Hudetz   Special Thanks to Cards Against Humanity for allowing us to record in their beautiful space.

The culmination of a long month of campaigning and a tireless amount of journalistic coverage ends with students all over the school casting their votes. The Probe team checks in with the candidates and themselves as we look back on the process and forward to the results. What does Thomas still have up his sleeve? Will Staci's election anxiety keep her from having any cogent thoughts? Was exploring a high school student body election actually a worthwhile endeavor? And, most importantly, who. will.

Episode 6 The Debate: A time-honored tradition that the 2016 US presidential election has taken a massive dump upon. This episode of The Probe explores whether the students [and faculty] at FDRHS fell prey to name calling and mudslinging as they took the debate stage. How will Staci answer to the accusation of skipping class? Why does Thomas keep taking pictures next to posters bashing Staci? Where would Cori get that many balloons? Why would a woman leave a man who was nothing but loyal to her? And the most burning question of all will finally be answered: Is August running?   Credits:   Lisa Burton: Lisa Burton Mary Beth Smith: Mary Beth Smith   Thomas Buffington, Jr.: Clayton Margeson Staci Kramer: Shira Wilson Cori Wilson: Lauren Walker August Tooley-Anderson: Brian Holden Vice Principal Curtis Hannigan: Ryan Ben Faculty Liaison Eliza Schroeder: Meredith Stepien Debate Audience: Allie Kahan and Max from the iO box   Produced by Matt Young, Lisa Burton, Mary Beth Smith and Hannah Parsons Editor: Hannah Parsons Original Music: Hannah Parsons Other Music: Final Cut Pro, iLife, and iMovie Sound Effects   The Probe Logo: Maxwell Hudetz Special Thanks to Cards Against Humanity for allowing us to record in their beautiful space.

Episode 5 With only one week left before the debate, The Probe takes on the biggest buffoon in the room, Thomas Buffington, Jr. The Buffington family has been influential in Indiana politics and business for decades, and like any family with such influence and history, there are skeletons in their closet. We'll delve deep into the bizarre and contradictory Buffington family. Do the Buffingtons live in a haunted mansion? What is the right age to show a child your face for the first time? How expensive is a sandwich really?   Credits:   Lisa Burton: Lisa Burton Mary Beth Smith: Mary Beth Smith   Thomas Buffington, Jr.: Clayton Margeson Charlotte Buffington: Jessye Mueller Thomas Buffington Sr.: Tim Dunn Glover Buffington: Matt Young August Tooley-Anderson: Brian Holden Vice Principal Curtis Hannigan: Ryan Ben Faculty Liaison Eliza Schroeder: Meredith Stepien   Produced by Matt Young, Lisa Burton, Mary Beth Smith and Hannah Parsons Editor: Hannah Parsons Original Music: Hannah Parsons Other Music: Final Cut Pro, iLife, and iMovie Sound Effects   The Probe Logo: Maxwell Hudetz Special Thanks to Cards Against Humanity for allowing us to record in their beautiful space.

One candidate bungled so badly their battle for student body glory may be toast. The tension couldn't be higher in The Probe studio, but with the help of some experts, Lisa and Mary Beth get to the bottom of the blunder as well as figuring out what exactly goes on at the home and in the mind of the apparent front-runner, Staci Kramer.   Credits: Lisa Burton: Lisa Burton Mary Beth Smith: Mary Beth Smith Staci Kramer: Shira Wilson Meryl Kramer: Allison Ringhand Deacon Boxlightner: Tyler Samples Thomas Buffington, Jr: Clayton Margeson Thomas Buffington Sr: Tim Dunn Glover Buffington: Matt Young   Produced by Matt Young, Lisa Burton, Mary Beth Smith and Hannah Parsons Editor: Hannah Parsons Original Music: Hannah Parsons Other Music: Final Cut Pro, iLife, and iMovie Sound Effects The Probe Logo: Maxwell Hudetz Special Thanks to Cards Against Humanity for allowing us to record in their beautiful space.

Listen as hosts Lisa Burton and Mary Beth Smith meet the candidates and their families, speculate on their motives for running, and unmask all the nasty aspects of running for office at any level.   Episode 3:   During week two of what feels like a never-ending election cycle, The Probe team does more work in the field learning about the candidates and their motivations. This week: The anti-establishment outsider. Who is Cori Wilson? What about her upbringing made her want to run for student body president? Was it her biographer father? Her food scientist mother? One of her more nefarious classmates? Why does she seem to care so much more about the X Games than the Winter Olympics? The Probe leaves no stone unturned.   Credits:   Lisa Burton: Lisa Burton Mary Beth Smith: Mary Beth Smith   Cori Wilson: Lauren Walker Whitney Lamont-Wilson: Carly Olson Christopher Wilson: Luis Cortes.

Episode Two: As the four candidates in the FDRHS presidential election gear up for week one of their campaigns, The Probe team goes deep into what influences their decisions and platforms. While a lot of time is spent unpacking the beige, malleable oddball August Tooley-Anderson in the form of an interview with him and his parents, the real fun starts when Lisa and Mary Beth review early campaign tactics and social media interactions between students and their options for president. Who is the early front-runner when it comes to resources? What do a candidate's influencers tell us about their ability to lead?

Mary Beth Smith is no stranger to the world of podcasts. Her show, MBSing, is fantastic and you should definitely make it part of your regular rotation. That's not a recommendation, it's a straight up demand! Have you become a subscriber? Cool. Good. Join us as we comb through "Misadventures in Babysitting", a tale of one young girl's attempt to secure her own phone line.

Bruce Baum is back and Mike Binder's 'The Sex Monster' sounds like a miserable piece of sexist garbage. Love you! XOXO

Oh, hey – it’s your old pal Marc Hershon. Unless this is your first time listening to Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast, in which case it’s your new pal Marc Hershon. Either way, this is Epi98. Just TWO episodes away from our Epi100 and the end of Succotash Season 1. In regards to that, we’ve been tweeting requests for podcasters and listeners to call in "Happy Episode 100!" messages to the Succotash Hotline – (818) 921-7212 – and so far we’ve got nothing. I was planning to do a big live episode for number 100 but with such an underwhelming response to the show’s Season 1 finale, I think we’re going to go back into Studio P with our engineer/producer Joe Paulino, announcer Bill Heywatt, booth announcer Kenny Durgis, and just do a slam-bang highly produced extravaganza. (Unlike this week’s episode, which was recorded in Studio F - my Fiat - while parked in my driveway in the middle of the night.) Incidentally, this episode is NOT brought to you by SquareSpace, Nature Box, Cards Against Humanity, Dollar Shave Club or any other legitimate paying advertisers but we are sponsored by Henderson’s Pants and YOUR kind donations, merch purch, and/or clickthroughs on our Amazon.com banner at the top of our http://SuccotashShow.com homesite. We’ve got a big old sweaty handful of clips from comedy podcasts around the interwebs, many of which were harvested by our Associate Producer Tyson Saner. Also on tap this episode is not one but TWO of our Burst O’ Durst segments with political and social comedian/commentator Will Durst, a fresh Henderson’s Pants commercial and the Tweetsack is back! (I pushed it off last episode because we were running so long but we’ll be mentioning a few notes we’ve gotten this time around as well as a bunch of kind folks who have been passing the Succotash via social media.) What we also have in store for you in THIS very show, this Epi98, is an interview I recorded over Skype a few days ago with Matt Gourley, who many of you may know as ¼ of the Superego podcast. He also co-hosts the James Bonding podcast with Matt Myra. But his main reason for dropping by, virtually speaking, was to talk about his newest podcast AND the new network that it’s helping to launch. Just this past week, the Wolf Pop podcast network started. It’s a spinoff of sorts from the Earwolf Network, home of many fine comedy podcasts such as Comedy Bang Bang, Affirmation Nation with Bob Ducca, Nerd Poker and many others. Wolf Pop is going to feature more shows with a pop culture bent, under the stewardship of the very funny Paul Scheer, whom you may know from the How Did This Get Made? podcast, his appearance on TV’s The League and many other endeavors.  Matt’s new show is called I Was There Too, and features Matt interviewing different guests each episode, guests who were connected to a famous scene or moment in a movie but just as a bit part player or an extra on the film. For instance, his guest on the first show, which dropped this week, is Paul F. Tompkins, who was in There Will Be Blood and was in a scene with Daniel Day Lewis. We feature a clip from that premiere episode on this show, along with my chat with Matt. (I also review I Was There Too this week for This Week In Comedy Podcasts on Splitsider.com and for Huffington Post Comedy as well.) Coming Soon: Season 2! If you missed me talking about what Season Two of Succotash has in store, I’m going to be splitting the show into two different flavors which will both be available in the regular show feed. We will have clips-only episodes under the subtitle of Succotash Clips and then we’ll have interview shows subtitled Succotash Chats. And, occasionally, we might still mix those offerings for a serving of Succotash Clips n’ Chats. No More 10 Most Active Shows In Stitcher's Top 100 Comedy Podcast List? It seems that Stitcher has been updating some hooha in the jezzleneck because of a defective framus and their numbers have been all kablooie since the middle of September. Now I was planning on maybe scapping this feature anyway after Epi100 so maybe we’ll just let it quietly crawl off and die in the bushes. The Clips TomefooleryTwice a month, comedian Cody Melcher invites a couple of funny friends on his Tomefoolery podcast to talk about a really, really weird book they've all just read. Comedianne Stephanie Hasz co-hosts this epi and guests include Chris Geiger, Mary Beth Smith and Claire Friedman from "The Nerdologues", a CHicago sketch group. The book for this episode is called A Christian Response to Dungeons and Dragons, written by Peter Leithart and George Grant in 1987. (Our Associate Producer Tyson mentioned that, “This is not something I knew existed and I'm almost sure that my Dad would have mentioned it as he came from a religious background  and is NOT a 'Satan Worshipper'.” This clip is of the folks re-enacting a famous "Chick Tract" called "Dark Dungeon" that is anti-Dungeons and Dragons. That "Chick Tract" has since been made into a film that was funded by Kickstarter. They want $5 bucks for the film online, which looks like it cost 5 bucks to make. Here's the trailer for it if you want to spend YOUR money on it… Transformers 1986 As if to test the modern axiom, “There’s a podcast for everything”, Podcast Squared’s Andrew Johnstone has unveiled the Transformers 1986 podcast. To bring his audio vision to life, he’s assembled a roundtable of podcasting podcasters — Jason “The Angry Ginger” (7 Days A Geek), Ben Tippett (Titanium Physicists), and Jim Chipley (Bizz and Chips), along with comedian Joe Starr. The first epsiode uses the nerd minds of the panel to deconstruct the first 20 minutes of this animated “classic” motion picture. So far there is only the first episode of Transformers 1986 so there’s plenty of time to jump aboard! Pizza Beer RevolutionThis is a segment-driven chatter show featuring Mike Pullano (host of the New York Rangers’ Blue Shirt Buds), Chris Ippolito (lead singer of Chapter Five) and ex-pro snowboarder Joe Maffei that appears on YouTube as a multi-screen videocast as well as an audio podcast. Their guest this segment – they frequently have interesting guests popping in – is Samantha Quintas of SModcast’s The Sam And Ming Show. And they’re talking – more or less on topic – about their favorite TV theme songs. Hillbilly Nerd TalkHosted by Hank and Petra – no last names – who describe themselves as “educated hillbillies”, the Hillbilly Nerd Talk podcast hails from “deep in the hollows of rural Appalachia”. This is an amazing find from Tyson and features a charming married couple who chew the fat on a variety of subjects. This sample features them tossing around a list of the perils of Facebook from Men’s Health magazine. Done and done. That’s Epi98 in a podshell.

Apologies that the audio is subpar, but we had a fantastic time when Chicago favorites, The Nerdologues (Chris Geiger, Mary Beth Smith, Claire Friedman) join Cody and Hasz to discuss the book ‘A Christian Response to Dungeons and Dragons’, written by Peter Leithart and George Grant in 1987; it was on the forefront of the Dungeons-and-Dragons-as-Satanism campaign in the 80s and 90s.

Parties abound as Commander Hayes and Holographic Abraham Lincoln struggle to reconcile their private lives with their professional and/or holographic lives.   Improvised on Feb. 23rd from a title suggested by Paul Nichols via Facebook.   With guest Mary Beth Smith of the Nerdologues and the MBSing podcast.

How many ladies does it take to make a ladies night? 2.  2 Ladies.  That's right, the podcast's foursome this episode is a full 50% ladies!  Or women, anyway; how ladylike they are is up to the listener to decide.  Mary Beth Smith and Jessica Antes get their vaginas all over everything and Xander O'Connor and Ben Russell have to clean it all up with sponges and male ejaculate. Yikes, this podcast description really went off the rails.  Well, if the explicit tag on the show did not sufficiently inform you of the risque nature of Alcoholics Eponymous, rest assured that the above language and imagery is fairly representative of what your ears will be assaulted with should you listen to this show. We also review a solid riesling...so there is that.
