Talking Left Episode 2013-17




Talking Left w/ Danielle & Shane-O show

Summary: It's Scandal-Gate 2013! On this episode of Talking Left, we wanted to give everyone a break from the "serious" scandal coverage.  So, we thought there was no better way than to ask two of our favorite comedians to give us their thoughts on this week's scandal-gate.  And, we had a few moments to highlight the up-coming Occupy Monsanto protest. First, we heard from Adam Eidinger, of Occupy Monsanto.  He gave us his thoughts on the anti-GMO movement, the recent Monsanto case ruling by the Supreme Court.  Adam also told us about the upcoming world-wide march against Monsanto, on May 25th.  You can follow the movement on Twitter using hashtag #NoGMO, and you can find a march near you on Occupy MonsantoOccupy-Monsanto.com. After that, Hal Sparks joined us in studio to talk about comedy, scandal-gate, and much more.  Hal is going to back in the area very soon, so be sure to check his website to see when and where you can catch his live comedy show.  And, don't forget to tune in to The Hal Sparks Radio Program MEGA World Wide every week to here's Hal's brilliant, and often hilarious, take on the news. In the last hour, we spoke with Julianna Forlano, host of Absurdity Today, about how comedy helps us digest information.  She gave us her take on "Scandal-gate" and her thoughts on some actual media ethics issues that came up during the week.  Be sure to subscribe to Julianna's email list by sending an email to AbsurdityToday@gmail.com so you don't miss new episodes of Absurdity Today, and don't forget to share it with all your friends.
