Episode 170: Homer the Vigilante With Casey Boyd

31st December 2018

This week, Mad Magazine’s Casey Boyd joins us to chat about “Homer the Vigilante.” We’ll discuss the work of John Swartzwelder at length – and how his writing has influenced a very specific type of voice in comedy. We’ll also chat Conan, dog songs, and Detective Pikachu. It’s the last episode of 2018 and we’re glad that we get to end it with a Swartzwelder episode. Cheers!
