Podcast episode 222ish: Johnny Scoop

Remember Room 222? I certainly do. In theory, that is. I remember the theme song and liking Karen Valentine. But that's neither here nor there. It's just that this particular podcast episode happens to be number 222ish. I use the -ish suffix because we've been at this a long time, long before podcasts became so damn popular and their hosts so anal they needed to keep track of how many they've done. I know for damn sure we've done way more radio shows. Some didn't make it to podcast format for one reason or another (lost, technical glitches, what-have-you). So I think this one is about our 222nd available online.

Johnny Scoop is the guest. It was Oscar night 2011. For once, I was the only one in the room who watched the spectacle. It's fitting that while I'm reminiscing about classic television here, Johnny and I reminisced about the price of pop on this show. Also he told us why sandwich boards are better on land than car rooftops, and I lambasted him for cowering to the almighty Canucks. That's worth a listen, right?

Here's your chance. Well, here or iTunes. Choose your poison.

Feb. 27: Johnny Scoop

Tonight, Jonathan Skupowski (aka Johnny Scoop) joins us for his second go-round on What's So Funny? What could we possibly talk about that we didn't exhaust back in November of 2009? Well, let's see...He's got multiple shows going on at the Hennessey (or Henne$$ey, as he writes it) and the Kingston (King$ton?), his partnership with a commercial radio station, his participation in a documentary, and he's got a new theme song, I hear. And who knows, we might even talk Oscars since that's happening tonight. I've seen a whopping zero of the ten best film nominees so I've got some pretty strong opinions, as you can imagine.

Nov. 15: Johnny Scoop

What's the scoop on Scoop? Tonight we find out as we welcome first-time guest Johnny Scoop. We'll get to the bottom of things, like his name, for starters. Were his parents fans of 1940s gangster flicks or is he? We'll also talk about the Story Slam, his obsession with records (467 straight "funny" posts on Facebook, doing the Grouse Grind 60 times this year), his weekly comedy shows at the Kingston on Mondays and Thursdays, and his love of the ampersand. The guy even comes with his own theme music. He is radio-ready. Looking forward to it.
