This week we bring you How Did This Get Made? LIVE from Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles!

You can, and should, find her photography book Liezl Was Here on Blurb.

Patton Oswalt is back in the Comedy Bang Bang hot seat! Fortunately, he has a new movie coming out and he’s ready to give us all sorts of exclusive information. Unfortunately, we still have our open door policy and a gentleman named Leslie Schecter finds his way into the studio. Fortunately, Patton was still game for Would You Rather? and Fortunately Unfortunately despite this rude interruption. Unfortunately, Leslie hangs around for the rest of the episode.

What is there to do between Thanksgiving and Christmas? Well you can go see movies, you can eat leftovers, or you could listen to The Apple Sisters! I think you know which one we recommend. Oh, and don’t worry listeners, there is still time to donate to The Apple Sisters’ Pledgemusic page! I mean, what else are you going to do with your time?

We’re kicking it Vermont style this week on Sklarbro Country! We’ve prepared a special post-Thanksgiving treat for you all with special guests Patton Oswalt and James Taylor. Patton uses appearance number three to tell us about his hot, smelly summer in New York, document the demise and revival of alternative comedy, and explain why The Texas Chain Saw Massacre deserved an Oscar in sound design. James Taylor shows off his “urban” side on his debut performance and clues us into what Monday Night Football listeners can look forward to. Plus we’ve been spying on The Iron Sheik’s twitter account and in Ivan Calderon’s fridge, so we have a nice fresh batch of takes for everyone. Treat your turkey hangover with Sklarbro Country! This episode is sponsored by audible. Support Sklarbro Country and get a free audiobook at http://www.audiblepodcast.com/sklarbro

I think this one speaks for itself. A tone poem. An ode. Where Are My Parents?

November 23, 2011

Are you prepared for the thrilling conclusion of Howard’s T.G.I. Fridays swinging story? Are you nervous in anticipation of what new quizzes we’ve thought up? Are you a fan of the comedic stylings of Kyle Kinane? The answer to all those questions is clearly “Yes” so join us this week on Who Charted? where we’ll update you on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, give you the weekend Box Office scores, and play a thrilling round of Chart Darts. George Clooney may or may not show up!

Looking for something to do this Thanksgiving? Drew, Molly, and J.P. have some ideas! You could watch the parade, as corporate and mainstream as that is. You could meet up with some of your old friends from junior high, but that could get depressing fast. What about a good mushroom trip with retirees? That sounded much better in my head. Well, if you want to avoid awful TSA agents and awkward family encounters, just hang out at home and listen to Glitter in the Garbage!

November 23, 2011

Some people let the stigma of psychiatry prevent them from seeking help and finding solace. Maybe, just maybe, one of you will take part in some “rhyme therapy” and find that not only is it fun, but it’s spiritually freeing. Happy Thanksgiving, listeners. As always if one of you would like to invite good ol’ Bob to your family’s celebration, email AffirmationNation@earwolf.com

November 22, 2011

We all know which holiday we’re celebrating on Thursday, but do we know WHY we’re supposed to celebrate it and HOW to give thanks? This week on Professor Blastoff we give you the ultimate pre-Turkey appetizer of historical knowledge and thoughtful discourse on the neurological behavior involved in gratitude. Pass the gravy!

November 22, 2011

Last week we had our first How Did This Get Made? LIVE! at Largo and we’re going to share it with you! But first, we’re giving you a week to watch the movie and prepare yourself for the insanity of Superman III. See you next week!

November 21, 2011

At the intersection of comedy, music, and fashion lies this week’s Comedy Bang Bang. Margaret Cho and Grant-Lee Phillips provide the score for the episode in addition to delighting us with tales of the 90s and fun rounds of What Am I Thinking? and Would You Rather?! David Wain is the comedy legend you’d expect him to be, but by the end of the episode you’ll be in awe of his keyboard skills. Dov Charney came here to talk about American Apparel and he does. That part is pretty straightforward. But throw it all together and you have a podcast stew to whet your pre-Thanksgiving appetite. Speaking of stew, head over to the Earwolf store and pick up The Complete Comedy Bang Bang Christmas Collection. All proceeds go to the LA Regional Food Bank.

November 21, 2011

He’s finally here! Franklin Delano Roosevelt himself has returned to The Apple Sisters radio show and is ready for a delicious meal, beautiful songs, and a sexy turkey. Will all of the hard work the girls have done this month pay off? Find out by listening in! And as always, feel free to donate whatever rations you can to The Apple Sisters’ Pledgemusic page!

We all know that The History Channel’s “Ancient Aliens” is educational and compelling. Now we learn of its ability to inspire with Bob’s newest poem, “Some Thoughts on The History Channel’s Ancient Aliens.”

November 18, 2011

You can’t not love “Weird Al” Yankovic. We are lifelong fans and were more than happy to stamp his passport in Sklarbro Country. From his very first Jim Croce parody to his reception on Twitter, we loved learning about his three-decade-long reign as the King of Parody. Keeping in the theme of childhood heroes, we’ve invited Jesse Ventura to take a quick detour from his route to Mexico to hang out with us. Add live music from Jim Bianco, some Nickelback news, and the oddest stroke story we’ve ever heard, and you’ll have an hour-and-a-half long vacation to amaze your friends with pictures from.

November 18, 2011

Threesomes, aliens, The Duggar Family, Oprah, this episode has everything! Seth Morris left his buddy Bob Ducca to come hang out with us and he so totally brought it! From dating in LA to trashy TV, we fly through the hour! Enjoy!

November 18, 2011

It’s not just for moistening cereal or stopping jalapeño burn. It’s the lifeblood of the beverage industry and it’s what we celebrate this week. Thanks Conrad!
