Ep. #1066: Michael Longfellow

Michael Longfellow is here to discuss life as a lazy student and his creative writing academic pursuits, how and why he got into comedy and music as a kid, growing up with different step-parents and step-siblings and what his kinfolk think about him making jokes about them specifically, why he’s uncomfortable being compared to Norm Macdonald but why he reminded me of Norm when he was on Saturday Night Live, insights about how SNL works and why Lorne Michaels knows what he’s doing, how he actually got on the show in the first place and his background as a sketch writer and performer, what we both got out of reading a recent Lorne Michaels biography, his perspectives on not being asked back to SNL this year after three seasons and personal highlights from his time on the show, what fans can expect from his Just for Laughs Vancouver show on February 13, a new stand-up special and other writing and performance plans, and much more.

Ep. #1065: Brian Raftery on 'Hannibal Lecter: A Life'

Brian Raftery is here to discuss his excellent new book, Hannibal Lecter: A Life, the Burbank Burger King from Back to the Future, what exactly prompted him to explore the origin story and pervasiveness of Hannibal Lecter, his mysterious and seldom-interviewed creator, the best-selling author Thomas Harris, why people love fictitious and apparently also real-life antiheroes, a rundown of the history of Lecter in literature, television, and film beyond The Silence of the Lambs and why Brian Cox was such a compelling Hannibal, how the character is scarier the less we see of him, a great Patton Oswalt bit about prequels, the underrated NBC series Hannibal, why Donald Trump may have started saying, “The late, great Hannibal Lecter” at his political rallies, whether we may ever hear from Harris and Lecter again, Brian’s future plans, and much more!

Ep. #1064: Aquakultre

Lance Sampson from Aquakultre returns to discuss his new album 1783, the time I saw him request and receive chicken wings while performing on-stage and why his friends and family often engage in their own version of Hot Ones, how his research about the history of African Nova Scotia or Black Nova Scotia led him to write songs, why he engaged in this research initially and what he learned about his home province, his fascination with historical fractures and community-building, police and cultural erasure, archival recordings and eeriness, working with producer Erin Costello and the sound of this record, a family singalong and the motion picture Jaws, what’s next for 1783, other future plans, and much more.

Trevor Shelley de Brauw from Pelican is here to discuss the band’s album, Flickering Resonance, our history of working together because of his role in music publicity, the city of Chicago’s music dynamism, a brief foray into North Carolina farming, how guitar teachers underestimate Ramones songs, seeing significant shows at Fireside Bowl as a teenager, the antagonistic antics of Tusk, where Pelican came from and why its original line-up reunited, why I think every band should break up so they can miss the band and then appreciate it more when it gets back together, temporality and self-awareness, working as a music publicist, the future of Pelican, and much more!
