The Guestlist With Sean Cannon

DOWNLOAD I’m still giddy about this one. There are so many things I want to say about having the opportunity to speak with Dick Cavett (Dick Cavett!!) for my 150th episode. But instead of writing 3,000 words, I’ll just let you listen to it.

DOWNLOAD For most of his life, Bob Mould didn’t spend much time dwelling on the past. However, the last few years have been a little different. An autobiography, reissues, a classic album tour; pretty retrospective. It was interesting to pick Bob’s brain about the experience of finally cracking open the past and exploring it. Plus [...]

DOWNLOAD There aren’t many people – much less comedians in the public eye – who are willing to candidly discuss their professional failings. That said, Chris Gethard is an exception to the rule, and it was pretty inspiring to see how those career hardships have shaped his worldview in a positive way. Plus he loves [...]

Katie Aselton discusses her latest film, "Blackrock," and what it means to be an everyday badass. She also talks about the unique nature of "The League" and its cast. Plus Katie professes her undying love for The Kills' Alison Mosshart.

DOWNLOAD Kevin Ratterman is one those people in the music industry that seems to levitate just above all the mud that sullies us mere mortals. He’s just such a ball of positivity and optimism. And that makes the fact that he’s a badass studio engineer even more awesome. He recently built a new studio from [...]

DOWNLOAD I’m still pretty giddy about James Adomian unleashing The Body during our conversation in New York a few weeks back. We also stumbled upon a new character that’ll hopefully be making appearances for decades to come: St. Paul Giamatti. Sure, the demo for that character might be pretty narrow (i.e. Marcus Borg, Dom Crossan [...]

DOWNLOAD First off, the latest album from Corin Tucker, Kill My Blues, is badass. Secondly, our conversation revolved around the pyschology of being a frontwoman, gender roles, politics and sociology. Thirdly, she encouraged me to finally dig into the catalog of The Spinanes, which I’d been putting off for a while.

Musical comedian and actor John Lajoie waxes philosphic about making stupid videos on the internet, talks about getting in trouble with his brothers and admits that he's as bad at fantasy football as the character he plays on "The League." Plus he throws out some Howlin' Wolf during his guest DJ set.

Filmmaker and actor Mark Duplass discusses the differences between his various professional endeavors over the years, be they TV, film or music. Plus he plays one of his old band's songs during his guest DJ set.

Comedian and actor Paul Scheer talks about TV, gold lamé and picks an interesting mix of songs during his guest DJ set.

DOWNLOAD What can I say about Julie Klausner that hasn’t already been said by every major media outlet that has covered the world of podcasting? Not much, because they’ve all given her show How Was Your Week rave reviews. That said, I did find out a couple of interesting tidbits during our conversation. One of [...]

DOWNLOAD Since Kinane just did his first special on Comedy Central, the hour-long slice of heaven known as Whiskey Icarus, now seemed like a good time to revisit our conversation. He was in town opening for Daniel Tosh (the order of that bill should’ve been reversed, obviously) and wandered over to the studio to talk [...]

DOWNLOAD I wasn’t sure what to expect from enigmatic Bad Brains frontman HR. He’s a unique character, to say the least. Heck, just look at his swank outfit from Bonnaroo. But he was cordial and forthright – although not always perspicuous. Much to my dismay, I forgot to ask if the lady in this photo [...]

DOWNLOAD In our second conversation, Henry Rollins revealed what caused him to put on his big boy pants and embrace responsibility in the ’80s. He also let his music nerd flag fly. Rollins talked about his two “happy place” bands and reminded me that you don’t have to become jaded if you don’t want to. [...]

DOWNLOAD Last time I chatted with Mike Watt on the show, we covered just about every topic known to man. This time around, things were a little more focused – but just a little. It was also a particularly meaningful conversation for me on a few levels. You’ll have to listen to find out why, [...]
