Radio regular ("Graham's Crackers" every Thursday) and the guy I went over to Iraq/Kuwait with, Graham Elwood is the comic in part responsible for me even starting a podcast.

Jackie Kashian also talk about her foray into comedy and like Elwood, talks about how her podcast has changed comedy and finding a niche audience.

Good stuff from two very good comics. I call Dana Carvey and while he's driving around the bay area starts doing  improvised impressions on the spot that are hilarious.
