Succotash Chats Epi132: Philosophizin' with Danny Lobell Succotash

Like the man
says, it’s me, Marc Hershon. And I’m to be your host and 100%
recyclable container for Epi132 of Succotash, the Comedy
Podcast Podcast. This is actually an edition of Succotash
Chats, the variety of where we feature a conversation instead
of clips, and this time around our Special Guest is Danny
Lobell.

Danny is a
comedian and also the host of the Modern Day Philosophers podcast. He
interviews comedians but It’s a nice twist on the typical talker,
because once they cover some of the usual ground in an interview,
Danny reveals a philosopher that’s been selected for each
particular guest.

He and the
guest then learn about the philosopher at the same time — Danny
keeps himself from knowing who they’re going to talk about by
having his producer, Alex Fossella, select the
philosopher and information about them.

He’s had some
terrific guests since the show’s been on — people like Carl
Reiner, Bill Burr, Jackie
Mason, Maria Bamford, and Lewis
Black. This past week he interviewed Brian
Regan, who I’m a big fan of, and so I thought it would be
fun to talk to Danny about that experience, how he came up with the
concept for Modern Day Philosophers, and stuff like
that.

We play a
couple of clips from his chat with Regan, but you’re probably going
to want to grab the whole interview, which you can do at http://ModernDayPhilosophers.net.

A
DOUBLE DOSE O' DURST


In addition
to this episode’s Chat, we have TWO segments of our
Burst O’ Durst with political comedian & social
commentator Will
Durst, as well as some original tunage from our friend
Abner
Serd, a dip into the Tweetsack and the whole thing is
brought to you by Henderson's Fancy Pants for Fops.
