S4, E3: Dirty Sneaky Spy Humor
from God Fodder · host Keith Long and Greg Heinecke
Have you ever been accused of taking a joke too far? Has a story ever fallen flat or flopped? Using Radiolab’s episode “Smile My Ass” from January 28, 2021, Greg and Keith dissect the fascinating history and the refinement of the pop culture juggernaut Candid Camera, created and hosted by Alan Funt. Both hilarious and jarring, this spy show was a marvelous example of social experiment meets comedic genius and the key elements that all stories and attempts at humor need in order to succeed. Greg straddles the Hot Seat for four questions and a thorough grilling by humor whiz Keith, as well as a look to what current staple of our society might be obsolete next in the icebreaker segment “Future’s Past.” #godfodderpodcast #CandidCamera #RadioLab #smilemyass #fodderheads
