- TEKDIFF (teknikal diffikulties)-

It always makes me sad to discover an amazing show after it is over, but I have been binging through the past episodes of “The Account” with glee. Great storytelling and absolutely amazing that it’s only one actor.

I started listening to Tekdiff in summer 2007 or 2008, and it went strong for a long time- a true cult classic of podcasts if there ever was one- taken as a whole, perhaps the Rocky Horror of the medium. Cayenne is a one-man powerhouse of comedy, drama, production, and sound design. Whenever we get him back it won’t be soon enough. Listen to his comedy if you like levity and absurdism, but if you want a narrative treat, listen to “The Account” from episode one. There has never been anything nearly as good in the medium before or since. Cayenne is the king of this medium.

Possibly the best comedy podcast of all time. Certainly light years ahead of all those thousands of shows where comedian interviews other comedians and they laugh like insane people at each other’s private jokes and we’re told that this is some kind of brilliant “avant garde” look at how “the comedy mind” works... “Tekdiff” is a show filled with sketches, stories, spoofs, and goofs, and it’s been going strong for fifteen frickin’ years straight - gradually becoming a cult classic built solely on the strength of its CONTENT. The episodes from 2005 are just as much fun to listen to now as they were then, and that’s thanks to the show’s creator - “Cayenne” Chris Conroy - for being incredibly talented, incredibly imaginative, and incredibly funny.

PLEASE DO NOT READ ON THE PODCAST!!! One of my favorite shows!!! Extensive backlog that is worth listening to over and over.
