Summary: Comical Radio is an American talk radio comedy show that broadcasts from New York City. The show airs weekly on WBMB 87.9 FM in Manhattan and is also streamed live online by WBMB, Cringe Humor Radio, and other Internet comedy outlets. Comedian Danny Lobell, fellow comics Chris Iacono and Myka Fox, and sideman David Kasten host the show. Comical Radio features comedy segments as well as interviews with established and up-and-coming comedians, entertainers, authors, and musicians. Each episode of Comical is archived, with segments made available for free on their website and as a podcast on iTunes. The show first broadcasted in 2004 under the title Dan & Bob INDA Mornin, hosted by Danny Lobell and Aryeh "Bob" Teplow-Phipps. Aryeh left the show shortly thereafter, and it became The Danny Lobell Show. The program went through several different co-hosts. Lobell's old friend David Kasten did a weekly call-in segment known as "The Kasten Minute" early in the show's run. On November 4, 2005, Kasten joined the show as an official co-host. Katy Olsen joined the show in March of 2006 as a co-host after a strong guest appearance. Later that year, on June 29, 2006, comedian Chris Iacono joined the show as the fourth co-host. In 2008, comedian Myka Fox replaced Katy Olsen as co-host. Press and Awards The show was referenced in The New York Times on December 28, 2008.
