Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 144 – Justin Michael on The Muppets – The Muppet Show Album

He co-hosts the Before You Were Funny podcast and Batman: The Animated Podcast.  Turns out, he’s also the first person to bring The Muppets to the show.  Another surprise first turns out to be a brilliant piece of work, especially given that we’re supposed to imagine animated felt for 45 minutes.  Not only are the voice characterizations typically great, but the sound design and the joke choices are spot-on, especially the kind you need to see for full effect.  It really holds up as it’s own piece of comedy work outside of The Muppet Show itself, and was a lot of fun to talk about.

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 143 – Eban Schletter on Spike Jones – Thank You Music Lovers

Schletter_600

Podcast listeners will know the sounds of his nimble fingers from the background of many a Paul F. Tompkins podcast, and sketch comedy fans will know his music from Mr. Show.  Eban Schletter is not only a great musical improviser, but a guy who maybe, sort of, fell into comedy as a genre.  Although, on reflection, it kind of seems inevitable.  In this episode, we talk about how Eban’s dad introduced him to Spike Jones at the age of 21, and how that may or may not have changed his career trajectory.
