Seems like its only been a century since Tyrone Kahn took up podcasting, but he's actually concluded two seasons of the Kahn Man's Comedy Corner. As the Season 5 (including three seasons streaming on the Live365 network) Finale drops on iTunes, the excitable Kahn Man is already planning new business for his return in September. For one thing, the Season 6 opener will introduce Tyrone's latest single. Can't tell you the title, but think Beatles parody, following his 2008 mega-hit Let Me Pee. ... Read Full Story

"Originally hosted by Georgina Sowerby’s foul-mouthed Aussie alter-ego Rosie Koonunga-Hill, Chickenflaps is now produced and presented by Richard Cray. The show features the very best comedy songs from arou... Read Full Story

Podcast: PoddycastDate: November 20, 2008Title: Episode 4 If only I'd gotten there sooner. I could have written a little something, promoted Marc's show a bit, and perhaps Poddycast would still be with us. But the U.K.-based podcast ceased production in January after 21 episodes, and its old domain returned to the soil, yielding only a 404 error. Marc (I never got a last name) founded his show with the help of Dalecast host Steve Wheatley. From the beginning, however, Poddycast was beset wi... Read Full Story

I used to try to write good content for my site, but that was before I discovered SEO. SEO, sometimes called Search Engine Optimization, is a magical tool that uses words to trick Google into thinking your Web site is important. As a result, thousands of people visit your site and you get spectacularly rich. It's just that simple. Now, regular people like me lack the skills to exploit SEO to best advantage. We must consult Twitter to find SEO specialists, or, as Hyper Nonsense co-host Shawno ... Read Full Story

"Don't worry about this cough. Jews don't get the Swine Flu. We get the Whine Flu! "Oh, my, Gawd, is this guy back again? He's hooorrrible!" I mock-kvetched to the sparse Bill's Records audience during my Memorial Day weekend set. To compound the misery, Bill's booker Becky Hyden has posted a pair of YouTube videos, where you can see me failing miserably in front of nobody. Believe me, it's better that way. Becky added some fancy video edits with th... Read Full Story

I had just begun bombing during my Saturday set at Bill's Records when Bill Wisener came sprinting back from his post at the front door, waving the Society page of Park Cities People. "We made the paper! That's me and you!" Bill exclaimed. In Chris McGathey's candid photo from the April 24 edition, I appear to be holding up a happy but exhausted Bill, late on the second day of his 65th birthday celebration. The bittersweet feature by Society Editor Georgia Fisher could... Read Full Story

The time for panic will arrive soon enough. As the Department of Homeland Security often reminds us, every American should know when to abandon all sense, cover your mouth and nose with a 10-cent dust mask from Home Depot and imagine you're bleeding internally. But that moment is not here yet. Nevertheless, these is tough times for pigs, what with Mexico's population decimated from the swine flu and Americans unsure who to blame for the potential pandemic. Should we blame the Mexic... Read Full Story

Mayfest pulls plug on pig flu scare Oh, how the sausage turns. Almost exactly one year ago, I was performing on the Zone Stage at Mayfest 2008 in Fort Worth, vainly competing for audience share with the far more appealing Ham Bone Express. I didn't stand a chance. "I'm not finished entertaining you yet!" I hollered as the crowd abandoned me for the bright lights and carny appeal of the neighboring pig races. Wonder how those little piggies are feeling today? I'll bet... Read Full Story
