Our friend Will Franken has been plugging away at the podcast mills, and the result is the wonderful “Things We Did Before Reality” podcast. Will’s a standup comic whose style is best described as “one man sketch comedy.” He passes in and out of voices and characters with astonishing fluidity, creating a bizarre and compelling comic pastiche.
His podcast is similar — strange characters weave in and out of bizarre situations to hilarious effect. Highly reccomended, particularly for counter-culture enthusiasts and Python fans.
Here’s an MP3 of his most recent episode, “Whose Dick Do I Gotta Suck to get a Blowjob Around Here?” In it, a rose-tinted version of 1950s Brooklyn is recast with Islamic terrorists, among other hilarious scenarios.
