Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner and you are listening to Succotash. If this is your first time here, welcome. I hope you will find something to enjoy in the soundcast you are about to listen to. If you have listened to Succotash before, welcome back! Thank you for choosing to spend your time with us AGAIN. If the time you listened before was last week's episode, show 324 called “Debate, Argument, Brits & Smut” hosted by show creator and executive producer Marc Hershon, then you know why you are not hearing him in this episode. Incidentally, in that episode you heard the clips from the soundcasts If I Were You, The Legal Geeks, Off Menu, and Pornomedy…and you can still find that episode in the archive at www.succotashshow.com if you would like to hear it again.
We've been alternating the hosting duties pretty consistently for the last 2 1/2 years of our 11+ years of this show…so that is why this week's episode, #325, is hosted by me…Tyson Saner.…and in this episode I've got clips from the soundcasts Word In Your Ear, Going Deep from "Earwolf Presents", and Bubble.
I've got another classic advertisement from our 100% FAKE SPONSOR "Henderson's Pants" and their legendary Flying Jodphurs for you later in the program.
CLIPS
Word In Your Ear
From the show
description for Word In Your Ear, we learn that Mark Ellen and David Hepworth have been talking
about and writing about music together and individually for a
collective eighty years in magazines like Smash Hits, Mojo and The
Word and on radio and TV programmes like "Rock On", "Whistle Test"
and VH-1. Over 13 years ago, when working on the late magazine The
Word, they began producing podcasts. Some listeners have been kind
enough to say these have been very special to them. When the
magazine folded in 2012 they kept the spirit of those podcasts
alive in regular Word In Your Ear evenings in which they spoke to
musicians and authors in front of an audience. Our clip comes from
the episode that dropped just a couple of weeks ago, on September
27, 2022, entitled "Hilary Mantel, Zappa track or ad slogan and the
day Beefheart sold Aldous Huxley a vacuum-cleaner". The snippet we
have is from a bit of fun near the beginning of the program
followed by a bit of seriousness and some thoughts on how
commentary and narrative are intertwined…is how I interpret what I
am hearing.
Going Deep
From the
description: Welcome to the office of America's "most acclaimed
couples therapist," Diana Deep (Lily Sullivan). Listen and learn as
she counsels couples using her infamous “hands-on” approach to help
husbands, wives, lovers, thruples, first-daters, booty calls, and
on-again off-again sexters. This improv comedy podcast parodies
couples therapy in ways that will make you laugh, cry, and go
"Deep" into your own relationships. The clip was harvested from the
episode entitled "Culture Shock Catharsis with Nick Wiger & Heather
Anne Campbell", in which Dr. Deep speaks with Helga (Heather Anne Campbell) and Guy
(Nick Wiger) about their
disagreement over Helga's fifth oven purchase. Dr. Deep leads this
session down the proverbial "trail of breadcrumbs" to reveal the
lies at the core of their marriage. (This episode and other
episodes are in the "Earwolf Presents" listings at this time but
are originally in the "Stitcher Exclusive" category, but if you
want access to what I presume is all of the show's episodes then
you will need access to Stitcher Premium.)
Bubble
The show's description goes a little something like this: Welcome
to Fairhaven, a literal Bubble of corporate utopia set amid the
wild, goblin-infested Brush. The first scripted comedy series from
Maximum Fun, Bubble was created by Jordan Morris (Jordan and Jesse
Go), and tells the tale of a small band of monster killers
struggling to make ends meet and find love in a nightmarish version
of the gig economy. Starring: Alison Becker (Parks
and Recreation), Keith Powell (30 Rock),
Cristela Alonzo (Cristela), Eliza
Skinner (The Late Late Show) and Mike
Mitchell (Love), with appearances by Judy
Greer, John Hodgman, Martin
Starr, Paul F. Tompkins, and many, many
more. I clipped this snip from back in the before time - June of
2018 - their very first installment entitled "Huntrs". Morgan, who
is good at killing monsters, gets a new gig and a new
partner.
And that's all I have for you in this episode. I do hope you find something that you enjoy or at least to be interesting enough to experience again. I've already got ideas for what I will clip for the next episode I bring you, but that isn't for a couple weeks in my timeframe so why even bring it up? Maybe it is the holiday season that is rapidly approaching, encroaching…whatever you prefer.
I think about time a LOT lately. That is to say, I consider how it can pass without notice sometimes, and every now and then something notable occurs which makes me stop and consider how fast life really seems to be happening. My parents just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with my brother and I and our spouses, and that too was over in an eyeblink. Now I am here writing about it, and in a moment I will be done writing about it…and soon I will read these words into a microphone, edit all the audio together, and create a presentation that you will experience in more-or-less a half an hour of your life.
So thank you for spending that time listening to us. I recently added a few new links to my content over at www.tysonsaner.com including my TikTok and my new Redbubble store. I might as well mention that because you are already here and listening so I'd be a fool to not make the best of that opportunity.
Thank you for listening, be decent to each other, check this feed next week for show #326 hosted by Marc Hershon, and if you think we are good enough to share with other people then we would be forever grateful to you if you were to pass the Succotash.
