Rob Delaney Interview

For those who missed it, Marblehead native and Los-Angeles-based comic Rob Delaney called in to the show last week to talk about his experiences in comedy, his upcoming SciFi TV series, and what it's like to sing the National Anthem before a Red Sox game. Check it out in this delicious MP3 download:

Astute listeners will also find a special code word that will get you half-price admission to his two shows this Saturday at the Calderwood Pavillion in Boston. That's just plain nice.

This Week: Rob Delaney

This week, the Hear It Wow phone lines burn from coast to coast as Los-Angeles-based (but Massachusetts native) comic Rob Delaney calls in to talk about comedy, television, and his upcoming shows at the Calderwood Pavillion on May 23.

You may have seen Rob as the "spokesman for Warner Brothers" on YouTube (semi-NSFW) or you may have seen him sing the national anthem before a Red Sox game. Coming soon, you'll be able to see him on the SciFi original series Outer Space Astronauts.

Brian Joyce will be joining me in-studio along with local comic Steve Albert, and Nick Zaino checks in around 8PM with an update on Boston's comedy happenings from FunnyGrownHere.com.

You get all this show for free, simply by tuning your radio to 91.5 FM in Boston or by streaming CD-quality audio from wmfo.org.

Janeane Garofalo Interview

On Wednesday night, comic Janeane Garofalo was kind enough to talk to myself and Brian Joyce on WMFO. Over nearly 80 minutes, she touched on her favorite comics, going to college in Providence, liberal thought and the "meaning" of alternative comedy.

Here's the interview, broken into four easy-to-download segments. All are around 30 MB in size:

Part 1 (her experiences in Boston comedy) (20:19)
Part 2 (Janeane's take on current politics) (21:17)
Part 3 (her favorite comics) (19:24)
Part 4 (her life at Providence College) (18.25)

Many thanks to Janeane for her time and her candor. If you're in the Boston area, be sure to catch her at the AltCom Comedy Festival tonight at the Somerville Theater.

This Week: Janeane Garofalo

Back at the start of the year, I made a commitment to take all you nice listeners inside the world of standup comedy. So far, we've had great interviews with Donny Soares, Tony Moschetto and Shane Mauss.

Janeane's heading back to Boston this weekend, and she'll be appearing at The Somerville Theatre on Friday night as part of this year's AltCom Alternative Comedy Festival. On Wednesday night, she'll be calling into the WMFO studios at 7:30 to talk about her experiences in standup. I'll be joined in-studio by Brian Joyce, and Nick Zaino of www.funnygrownhere.com will be checking in with updates on what's happening around town.
