Succotash Epi347: Hollywood Adjacent
Succotash
Saluton estas mi, , welcoming you to Succotash Episode #347. I will be your host for the duration of this episode as it is my turn to do so. Last week in Epi346, subtitled "Clips Like a Lion", show creator and executive producer of Succotash brought you a clips episode plus a little something extra.

Succotash Epi344 — Special Guest: Josh Gilliland
Succotash
Howdy, soundcast aficionados! You must be a fan of soundcasts if you’re dropping in for yet another installment of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. Because that’s all we do around here is pay homage to soundcasts. We play clips from 'em, we talk about ‘em, and sometimes we talk to the people who are ON the soundcasts, like today. But good deary me, I am getting ahead of myself. Myself being one , your every-other-weekly host of Succotash, and this is Episode 344. We’re about 5 weeks away from hitting our 12 year anniversary of this show — can you feel the excitement, the...
info_outlineI'm Marc Hershon, and Happy Thanksgiving week to you. Our little feast for you with this Episode 280 is pretty neat although you ARE going to have to work a little bit for it, I’m afraid. More about that in a minute.
First, though, did you get a chance to hear the previous episode, #279, entitled “Three For The Road” and helmed by our every-other-weekly host, Tyson Saner? It was a doozy. A movie-induced, triple-banger of a show, featuring clips from Blood and Black Rum Podcast, I Finally Watched, and Screen Drafts. You can still grab I from our homesite, at SucccotashShow.com, but also pretty much anywhere soundcasts are streamed and/or downloaded. Like Apple and Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Amazon Music, Audible, and so forth.
For this week’s installment, I have a chat with comedian/writer/ producer/soundcaster Dana Gould. He’s written for The Simpsons, he wrote and produced three seasons of Stan Against Evil, a great little show on IFC which you can know find on Hulu, and the second season of a YouTube series he produces and hosts, Hanging with Dr. Z, in which he plays Dr. Zaius from the original Planet of the Apes movies now hosting his own TV talk show is about to drop next February. He’s been hosting his own soundcast, The Dana Gould Hour, for a number of years and, just a couple of weeks ago, a documentary comedy film that Dana made with Bobcat Goldthwait dropped on streaming, called Joyride.
We first got to know each other back in the glory days of the standup comedy boom in San Francisco in the 1980s and as he was just appearing at the Punch Line in San Francisco this past weekend, we got a chance to sit down and catch up.
Now I mentioned you were going to have to work for this episode and here’s what I mean: The audio quality of our interview is incredibly poor. We’d decided to meet at a North Beach café to have our chat, and there was music piped in they wouldn’t turn down, and loud customers nearby. So BIG apologies. I’ve done the best I can to even things out but it’s pretty hard to hear in spots. Hopefully the next time we chat it up, it will be in quieter surroundings.
That’s what's in store for this installment of the Comedy Soundcast Soundscast - the interview plus a spot from our mythological sponsor for their all-new Henderson's Holiday Pants. If you’d like to ream me out for the lousy audio quality of the chat this week, feel free to drop me a note at [email protected]. I’ll try to do better!
Have yourself a scrumpdidliumptious Thanksgiving or at least the after-feast leftovers. Tyson is taking a well-deserved extra week off next week for some holiday family fun, so I will be here for Epi281 and a selection of comedy soundcast clips. Until then, enjoy yourself, wear a mask if you’re somewhere that calls for it, get vaxxed, if you eat too well, demand Di-Gel, and if anyone asks if you’ve heard anything good lately, won’t you please pass the Succotash?!
