Cartoonists Ted Rall (from the Left) and Scott Stantis (from the Right) present a Very Special Podcast. For the first time, Ted and Scott do the pod from Hotel Clovis, a.k.a. Ted's place in New York. As always, Ted and Scott put friendship first in their spirited but civilized debates and discussions about the issues at hand.First up: The world of comics and cartooning was upended by the tragic suicide of Eisner-winning cartoonist Ed Piskor, who shot himself to death after being hounded by an online mob and stripped of his professional associations after a younger female cartoonist accused him of “grooming” her four years ago, when he was 17. What lessons can we learn from this episode? Has the #MeToo movement finally gone too far? What of the online posters who gleefully celebrated Piskor's death? Can comics address systemic sexism without descending into Lord of the Flies-style vengeance?Second: The Alabama Supreme Court has affirmed an 1864 state statute that bans abortion in all cases excepting danger to the life of the mother (which Texas still refuses to do). In Arizona, if you are raped or subjected to incest, the state refuses to grant you an abortion. Ted and Scott discuss the political implications for a Republican Party that now finds itself out of step with 85% of American voters on an issue with massive symbolic resonance.Finally: Scott, a long-time supporter of Israel, has reluctantly concluded that Israel's war against Hamas has claimed too many innocent Palestinian lives and destroyed too much infrastructure in Gaza. Ted suggests that the window for a two-state solution may have passed and that it's time to consider merging the Occupied Territories and Israel into a democratic Republic of Palestine where all votes and voices are treated equally. The DMZ America Podcast is recorded weekly by political cartoonists Ted Rall and Scott Stantis.

Ho-ho-hold on to your laughter, folks! Pat and Kat are back with A Very Special Podcast, and this time they're diving headfirst into the festive chaos that is "Oh Tannerbaum," a season one Christmas episode of the iconic '80s sitcom Alf. Join your favorite hosts as they dissect Alf's comically clueless approach to Christmas and The Tanners' equally baffling attempts at educating him. Spoiler alert: the Tanners might just be the real imbeciles in this yuletide tale! Things take a turn for the worse when Willie Tanner proves once again that he might just be on the naughty list. A fake tree fiasco leaves the Tanners yearning for the real deal, and Alf, in his extraterrestrial innocence, unwittingly adds fuel to the festive fire.

Episode #30: Dennis the Menace - “Dennis Goes to the Movies” Original Release Date: November 16, 2015 Trouble-prone and mischievous Dennis Mitchell from Hank Ketcham's comic strip Dennis the Menace landed himself a sitcom in the fall of 1959. Dennis' shenanigans such as burying a garden hose in the backyard and trying to repair a table leg but only causing it to come crashing down was deemed wild for the late 50s, so the writers had to tone the character down a bit. Which brings us to episode of A Very Special Podcast, when Patrick and Kat watch “Dennis Goes to the Movie.” This is the one where Dennis sneaks out of the house at night to go see a Glenn Ford picture and also happens to be the very first episode of Dennis the Menace.

Episode #23: Full House - “Stephanie's Wild Ride″ Original Release Date: September 28, 2015 Full House needs no introduction, unless you were one of those children who grew up reading books; but even then there are at least 100 licensed books that pre-teens in the early 1990s would have come across in those monthly Scholastic Reading Club flyers that teachers handed out like they were prescription pills. Danny Tanner was a widower with OCD and he enlisted the help of his weird best friend and studly brother-in-law; and together they all raised three beautiful young children, a golden retriever, a neighbor with smelly feet, a woodchuck puppet, and two other sets of children (Nicky and Alex). Stephanie was always the spunky middle child, but somewhere along the mix she grew a wild side; no thanks to her cigarette smoking friend, Gia. Anyway, in this episode of A Very Special Podcast, Stephanie and Gia meet some cute boys at the mall and pretend they are a few years older so they can go joy riding with them. Sounds fun, huh? Well, guess what? There's a lesson to be learned. You can purchase this episode of Full House for $1.99 at Amazon.

Episode #22: I Dream of Jeannie - “Jeannie's Beauty Cream″ Original Release Date: September 20, 2015 [download the mp3] After being highly jealous of ABC's Bewitched, CBS commissioned producer Sidney Sheldon to concoct up his own mystical enchantress; and thus I Dream of Jeannie was born. When astronaut Tony Nelson is marooned on a deserted island in the South Pacific, he comes across a curious bottle which happens to be the home of a very sexy Persian-speaking and harem costume wearing female genie; ironically named Jeannie. Eventually Tony is rescued from the island and Jeannie accompanies him back to the mainland, where week-after-week they continuously find themselves mixed up in magical misadventures. For this episode of A Very Special Podcast, Patrick and Kat chose a late-in-the-series run, “Jeannie's Beauty Cream”, which is the one where Jeannie whips up some magic mojo to transform Amanda Bellows from some aging hag into some foxy bombshell; naturally (thanks to magic), shenanigans ensue.

Episode #21: Small Wonder - “The Shoplifter″ Original Release Date: September 13, 2015 In the 1980s, it seemed like every family in the cul-de-sac had their fare share of secrets; and the Lawson family was no different than the Joneses. Ted Lawson, the patriarch and super intelligent engineer/inventor, whips himself up a Voice Input Child Identicant; or Vicky the Robot for us layman. Ted Lawson's mission? Well, he plans on to use these androids to assist handicapped children all over the world, but first wants to test it out in his own household. Ted passes Vicky the Robot off as an orphaned child and pairs him up with Jamie, his overly flamboyant pre-teen son whose never-ending arsenal of bad writer's room jokes barely gets a smirk from Vicky. Too bad Ted didn't program Vicky with a database of Johnny Carson zingers instead of resting bitch face mode. Anyway, in this episode of A Very Special Podcast, Patrick and Kat discuss “The Shoplifter” episode from season two. This is the one where Vicky the Robot decides to steal an expensive watch from a department store the same day a social worker from the Department of Social Services decides to swing by the house. Plus, Patrick and Kat argue over the correct pronunciation of robot (row-bit vs row-bot) and Patrick suspects that if Ted Lawson's V.I.C.I. project is a success, it's only a matter of time before he is building an army of sex-bots or something more nefarious.

Unbeknownst to the townsfolk, Grandpa Munster unwittingly trapped his entire family into a sleep machine where they remained in suspended animation for twenty-two years, until a greedy land developer stumbled upon the sleeping beauties and released them into the brave new world of 1988. Which brings us to right where this episode of A Very Special Podcast picks up!
