Young reader, we're giving you Detention

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 22nd, 2009

That’s the title of Josh Sneed‘s podcast.

When are we going to start calling them “radio shows”? That’s what they are, really. Heck this one even has a radio show producer producing it– Detention co-host and producer Mark Chalifoux also produces The Mo Egger Show (9 to noon) at Clear Channel’s 1530 AM.

Perhaps it’s too late. Podcast they shall forever be called.

Sneed describes the show succinctly– “It’s basically the stuff you’d hear if you hung out with the comedians after a show.” Each show is “about an hour.” In the first ten episodes, he’s “hung out” with Eddie Gossling, Jon Fisch and Geoff Tate. We listened to the Jimmy Dore episode (or is that “POD-isode?”) and, by golly, it is just like being in a green room or a diner while comics swap stories, info, opinions, etc.

It’s free to download each episode from the show’s website, or by looking it up in iTunes (70 MB iTunes 8 setup.exe download required.)

Other popular podcast from comedians are Jimmy Pardo’s “Never Not Funny,” and “Hollywood Comedians Radio.” And here is a directory of British comedian podcasts in case you want to listen in on some conversations between U.K. comics. (That’s a page from the sprawling “Podcast Directory,” where we found Tom Shilue‘s podcast, which doesn’t follow the radio format but presents Shilue telling stories in front of a live audience. Which is comedy… but not… and it’s radio… but different.)
