Aron Bender talks with cancer survivor, Fox 11 Los Angeles entertainment reporter and world pun champion Amanda Salas. In this episode we discuss how Amanda learned she had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2019 after being misdiagnosed several times, her fight against the blood cancer and for awareness -- especially since September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month. Amanda encourages donations to and support for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and City of Hope. Links below. During her recovery Amanda entered -- AND WON -- a global pun competition known as Punderdome. We also talk about the role her mom, grandma (Meema!) and Catholic faith played in her battle against lymphoma, going viral with The Rock promoting Disney's Jungle Cruise, and celebrity junkets in the Zoom age.

     This week- the first films from a pair of visionary directors.      John Singleton wrote and directed a film that would serve as the blueprint for a whole genre the 30 years since its release. Filled with amazingly naturalistic performances, assured direction, and made with an honesty that is still rare in studio films. Boyz n the Hood set a lasting mark on film.     Melina Matsoukas created some of the best music videos the medium has ever offered. After years working in that area, she made her feature debut with Queen & Slim. A beautifully acted, amazingly filmed, and perfectly scored story of a couple who are forced to go on the run after accidentally killing a cop. It ranks with the best of the decade and is easily the best film of 2019.     All that and Craig ghosts, Tyler might have gotten a little too excited, Dave overflows with love, and Kevin readiest himself for a showdown in the Punderdome. Join us, won't you?Episode 158- Auteruist Openings

We return to the Punderdome and struggle to make puns once again.

Sam Corbin is a delightful writer, word-lover, pun-competitor, comedy-maker, fun-creator, friendship-enjoyer, and all-around Sam Corbin. She and I have fun. And YOU can have fun listening to our fun. That's how this works. Enjoy the joy!

Ish & Justin attempt to make more puns. Hannah shakes her head repeatedly.

“Nerds on the Roll” co-host Loren Peterson join Justin & Ish for a pun-derful Study Break as they play a round of the card game “Punderdome”!

Welcome to Pun Intended Podcast! We are a group of 30-somethings (and Zoe), currently in Flagstaff, AZ, who enjoy creative genius, puns, and wordplay exploration.In our second episode, we begin with a short recap (and subsequent overshare) about our Mother's Days. We then pick up with what we left off last time and learn about some particularly meaningful and witty song lyrics. Nick and Peter then debut several new word games, including 'Enter the Punderdome,' 'Balls Deep,' and 'Synonym Rolls.'As is the tradition in each episode, we end with 'Another Pun Bites the Dust,' where we get much-needed support and validation from each other about puns that have recently fallen flat. Especially, Peter, he seems to need a lot.Enjoy!Find all of our episodes on our website: PunIntendedPodcast.com.

Welcome (back) to episode #83 of The Party Gamecast featuring the Party Game Cast!  On this episode, Bruce is joined by Rocki, Mike, Bryan, Marty, and Brian to review an older game called Ad Liners, eat some things that couldn't be easily translated into English, and introduce our new segment in which we "live" play a game for your listening pleasure.   WHAT THE FOOD On What the Food we eat some fried sweet potatoes and dried seafood snacks.  And that is certainly a description of some Asian things that we ate.   AD LINERS The gang takes a look at a game from the 80s from Pressman games that may be the first "chooser-type" game (for all we know).   PUNDERDOME In our first venture into "live" play, we explore what it would be like if you played board games with your uncle who can't stop making groan-worthy puns at the holiday table.  You can treat yourself to their lovely and not-at-all-painful YouTube ad here: https://youtu.be/IpX83ajb344   As a note, we would like to thank all of our listeners who have stuck with us through the dry years.  We've had folks talk to us at Cons and such and ask when we were releasing a new episode pretty regularly, and we've disappointed them for a long time.  We missed you more than you've missed us.

It's the Punderdome, a pun filled battle to the death. Two men enter, one man leaves... followed by the other a little while later! When the Cheap Chaps play a board game based on a New York comedy night, their comedy skills are put to the test and left sorely lacking! Before all that madness, there is a classic Price of Shite with one particularly angering toy discovery, Paul erupts into the most prolonged and pointless piece of toilet humour in the show's history and we get a little trippy with a visit to Silverman's Platter. The show just got silly! And if you like us, why not support us: www.patreon.com/cheapshow Share & Enjoy.

In this episode, Samantha gets us all to play a friendly game of PUNDERDOME, and it is discovered that none of us are very good at coming up with puns, unless certain parameters are in place.

Brian interviews Brian Agler, aka Punda Express, a 13-time pun champion or finalist in the biggest pun competitions like Punderdome 3000 in Brooklyn and The O.Henry Pun-Off World Championships in Austin. And when Brian’s not dominating forms of “low” humor, he dominates “high” humor in pieces for McSweeneys, The New Yorker, Splitsider and in speeches for all sorts of politicians for his day job as a speechwriter. We cover all the goofs and spoofs, plus Universal Brian Questions at (45:00)

Writer Joe Berkowitz (Fast Company, Away With Words) teaches us how to appreciate wordplay, how to find a bathroom in Times Square, how to attend a pun competition, and how not to lie to your children about bad words. 

On today's episode I talk to comedian and writer Jo Firestone. Originally from St. Louis, Jo is a stand-up and the creator of dozens of live shows, including the pun competition Punderdome, the Inner Beauty Pageant, and the Unexpectashow at UCB. As an actor, Jo's been in everything from Broad City to Search Party to the Mike Birbiglia film Don't Think Twice, and as a stand-up, she's performed on Night Train with Wyatt Cenac and her own Comedy Central Half Hour.

Episode 217 of Punwatch, with special guest Jerzy Gwiazdowski and not enough in-depth ice hockey knowledge. You probably already know Jerzy Gwiazdowski. If you don’t, however, we cannot stress this enough: It is in your best interests to download and listen to Punk Assed: A Pun Cast, Jerzy’s pun podcast. It is punning on another level, and as a fan of puns, you will be a more complete person when you add Punk Assed to your podcast device. You can also find Punk Assed on Facebook, along with clips of Jerzy & Co competing at Punderdome and the Henry Pun-Off World Championships. You can also read about his punning in a new book called Away With Words by Joe Berkowitz. It’s a look into the world of competitive punning, which is so relevant to any Punwatch listener’s interest it’s not funny, unlike the book. We’ll also be appearing on an upcoming episode of Punk Assed, so keep an ear out for that. Punsters: Jerzy Gwiazdowski, Harry Brimage, David Shaw, Alex Malone Host: Andrew Cherry
