Keira Knightley released a topless photo untouched by Photoshop to show that she isn’t perfect and make a case for all women to love their bodies. My co-host Howard and I argue about whether or not she actually managed to accomplish that, with me taking the stance that a naked […]
I spent last Tuesday night hanging out with Lena Dunham, her mother, her Girls co-star Jemima Kirke, comedian Mike Birbiglia and Fun guitarist Jack Antonoff. And it was fantastic. How did this come to be? Am I being purposefully vague to make this event sound like more than it really […]
DC-native Mike Sacks called into the show to promote his incredible book about the art of humor, Poking a Dead Frog: Conversations with Today’s Top Comedy Writers. If you love comedy or if you have any aspirations in the field professionally, the book is a must-read. (I bet that expression […]
Don’t get me wrong: I enjoy NPR as much as the next lazy slob who believes a commute contains time enough to both enlighten themselves and hurl torrents of obscenity at their fellow traffic-bound wage slaves. But the the voices on my local NPR station, WAMU, make listening very, very […]

We start off with talk about my comic, The Spookies, and my (very, very unsuccessful) attempts to sell it to the hipster crowd at Bethesda’s Small Press Expo. The talk quickly turns to Vikings star running back and NFL darling Adrian Peterson getting arrested over the weekend for felony child […]
I like to keep my episode titles understated. Months ago, (former) Ravens running back Ray Rice landed a laughable two-game suspension when video of him dragging his fiancee’s unconscious body out of a casino elevator emerged. Well, yesterday, the other shoe fell, and TMZ obtained video from within the elevator […]
