Succotash Shut-In Epi208: Snippin' Clips for Summer
Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, was launched 11 years ago with the idea of promoting comedy soundcasts in what was then a marketplace still trying to find its way. By featuring short clips of shows being produced by funny folks both known and unknown, we like to feel that we maybe had a little tiny, eeny weeny, itsy bitsy bit to do with helping to ignite the torch of soundcasts across the globe! (But then we've always had a rather high opinion of ourselves...)
Original show host and executive producer Marc Hershon, along with co-host Tyson Saner, booth announcer Bill Heywatt, engineer/producer Joe Paulino, musical director Scott Carvey, and booth assistant Kenny Durgis have been keeping the flame alive o'er these many years.
Saluton,
estas mi Tyson
Saner. I'm your host this week, the week before last
AND, presumably, the week after the next one. Last week and,
presumably next week, your host will be Marc
Hershon who created Succotash, The
Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. We've been sharing hosting duties
to push out miniature weekly shows for your listening pleasure in
this thing we now call Succotash Shut-In to help
us all ride out the COVID-19 pandemic is high listening
style.
Succotash Shut-In Epi207 had some fantastic
content that you probably should check out at your earliest
convenience. In fact, if you'd like to turn this episode off and
listen to the previous show because you have not done so already, I
won't be fussed one iota. Technically, I won't even know…unless you
tell me. Or if you tell Marc and he relays that info to
me…
For those of
you still listening, I have three clips for you from the
soundcasts Six Seasons & a Podcast, The
Bitter Sound, and Deliver Us From Disney. Of
course, we have an ad from our longtime fake sponsor "Henderson's
Pants" and our more recent fake sponsor TrumPoetry.com …
so, let's get to it!

Six Seasons & A Podcast
It's been 10 years since the debut of the amazing show known
as Community, and host Alex
Burdine wanted to talk to the people behind the
scenes to uncover who wrote what and what it was like bringing to
life his favorite comedy. They cover the best jokes, the best
moments, and everything learned from 6+ years at everybody's
favorite community college, Greendale. Our clip comes from Epi21:
"Advanced Television Studies with Special Guest Neil
Goldman. Alex talks to Community's
executive producer and showrunner Goldman to ge this inside look at
the show.
The Bitter Sound
Host Davian
Dent returns for the first time in four years to
take us on a stereophonic journey into a world of dark comedy,
music, and strange audio. This trip is called "The Diary of a Sad
Ape", and our clip features a slice off the twisted look at life
through the lens of a manic mind. That's kind of all you need to
know...
We jump back
to pre-pandemic November of last year to clip the premiere episode
of Deliver Us from Disney with
hosts Ani
Easton Baker andWhitney
Moore. In this episode, the hosts take a look at the
1940 classic, Walt Disney's Fantasia, and discuss
which parts Ani's parents would find the most satanic.
I'm glad you took the time to come along on this journey of
discovery with me. I don't always have time to become a regular
listener of every soundcast I sample, and I can say that I'd like
to hear every episode of each of this episode's offerings.
Technically, I have heard multiple episodes of at least two out of
the three soundcasts… and I intend to hear more of all of them.
Perhaps one day I'll do a "Top 5" list of "Soundcasts I used to
listen to every episode of…" or at least a list of five (or more)
"Soundcasts I USED to listen to every episode of…" in no particular
order.
And I'm now
realizing that the fact that I've heard more than one episode of
the Soundcasts on offer for your earlier sampling is in itself a
theme of sorts. That's true of most of the episodes that I've
assembled in the past. I just love listening to people talk. I love
listening to them discuss things I'm interested in. I'm even
interested in hearing their perspectives on things I may not have
known or remembered I was interested in. I'm just letting you know
all this because this might have been your first
soundcast listening experience. And perhaps you'll be interested in
and seek out more episodes of these shows.
Perhaps you
will seek out more of our episodes? The archive
goes back almost 10 years, and many of the soundcasts we've
featured aren't being produced anymore. It's funny how time works.
Anyway, thank you for listening. Be decent to each other and please
remember to pass the Succotash.
