-
Episode 103: It Is Happening Again.
The show is back. One hundred percent. This is my first episode with a guest, Sean McTiernan. He's my guest because this episode is about TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN, and he knows a hell of a lot about it. We go long. Very long. WARNING: THIS SHOW IS FULL OF SPOILERS. WE SPOIL VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING.…

-
Episode 102: Stealing Time.
Wherein I poke my head out from my bunker and find out just how cold it really is. This episode exists mostly to prove I can still speak. At times I almost succeed. There's some talk about small towns and theft and life and death. It's 2016 now. Nice to still be doing this. (If you want to donate...
-

-
Episode 101: Distance.
Hi. Still remember me? Anyway, the show's not gone, I was just more itinerant than usual. Didn't have a desk and a quiet room very often. This is a long episode, partially as penance and partially because I really, really missed doing it. I talk about all the misadventures I got up to in Southern...
-
Episode 99: Ripped Up History.
I talk about the hunt for, and subsequent interview with, the guy who found that new photo of Billy the Kid. Also, I talk about embarrassing music, and the Kmart muzak tapes I wrote that piece about. It's a long one. That's penance for my absence. Recent Articles: On Kmart Muzak. On Doomsday...
-
Episode 98: Things That Don't Happen.
A story about an event that did not take place that devolves into a lot of midnight grimness about things not done. Don't listen to this during the day, kids. There's some stuff in there about Donald Trump toward the end, and Apple computers, and modernity, and stuff about boats I suppose. I'm...
-
Episode 97: Where Was I?
The show returns after almost three months in the wilderness. Lots of informative discussion about every lousy search term that has ever gotten any Google traction, from Kanye West to whatever the other ones are. As always, I'm broke. If you like the show, the best way to help it is to throw…

more -
Episode 93: Slipshod Salvation.
Sketch: Big Jim Murphy makes his triumphant return to the scripted portion of the program in a scene where Kaleb hops a train. He's running from somebody. But who, right? Who's he running from? That's the suspense that drives the scene, see. Show: No matter how self-loathing I may get in my…
more -
Episode 92: The Fog.
Big Jim Murphy is no longer co-hosting. It's just ol' Kaleb and you good people for the forseeable future. Maybe the weather will change and Big Jim will come back. Maybe he'll even be replaced by somebody in a few months. Who knows. But for now we're going to figure out how to make this work as…

-
Episode 88: Poor Boys.
Kaleb did up a sketch this week that was basically an excuse to try out his Billy Bob Thornton impression. He won't do it again, maybe. As for the rest of the show, I'm sick. Leave me alone. It's people talking. There's some movie talking, some funny talking, some sad talking, even some sports...
-
Episode 87: A Torture.
Note: James' Audacity crashed so he had to pull his side of the episode off Skype, and it doesn't sound as good as usual. Just let it happen. We're here. We do our thing. Sometimes we ain't as Hollywood as them Hollywood types, but at least we're not hunkered down in coat closets. Anyway, there…
more -
Kaleb Stares At The Void, No. 3
Bit of a comedown from James interviewing Keith Levene, but anything would be. Anyway, this is Kaleb going it alone for a full-blown hour. Theoretically it's an attempt to do an actual solo show, with as little artifice as possible. There's a short story Kaleb wrote at the beginning, then some…

James Talks to... Keith Levene
The Clash founder and former PiL guitarist was very generous to talk to me about his book Meeting Joe Strummer, his time in London '76 and the creative process. Buy Keith Levene's book here: http://www.amazon.com/Meeting-Joe-Strummer-Guitarist-Levenes-ebook/dp/B00RY2II0G

Sketch: James goes back to that ol' bar in Death Valley. This one's probably gonna have an arc. Show: We recap whatever happened in 2014.

-
Kaleb Stares At The Void, No. 2
Kaleb is alone on New Year's Eve (no) in a vast desert (no) of punishing emptiness (still no).
-
Episode 85: Out Here.
The Christmas episode. Everything is festive and seasonal. James goes on the run in death valley, and Kaleb talks about building a gingerbread boxcar and Hobo Santa. There's even some good time snark, lots of SEO-friendly snark, about Jingle All The Way. And if that's somehow not good enough, get...
-
Episode 84: Assimilation.
James goes to the doctor. Kaleb talks about the holidays and Merle Haggard and whatever the hell else it was. Also, The Last Exit Show would like to formally acknowledge a great, ghostly 45 from private press purgatory so that we might eventually shed light on it: Frank Thomas - Love You Deep Or...
-
Episode 83: Mars.
To compete with that NPR show Serial, Kaleb and James have turned the podcast into a serialized science-fiction murder mystery where they investigate a cold case on Mars. Even their unscripted segments now include obtuse hints about the crime, and provide background for the very intricate plot,...
-
James Is Alone.
How long did James last talking into a microphone where nobody talks back? A crisp ten minutes.
-
Kaleb Reads A Short Story.
Just a quick marginally spooky test run of a new microphone. Plus, new content to satisfy the content beast. It'll kill you. It wants you dead, this content beast. It's eating New Yorkers. I swear it's true. I've seen it.
-
Kaleb Stares At The Void, No. 1
This is a one-off, boys and girls. A sad, meandering, unprofessional one-off. Kaleb talks into a microphone at 2 a.m. without his co-host Big Jim Murphy. It goes in a lot of new directions, all of them bad. Normally we wouldn't allow something like this to happen, but we're taking too much time…
more -

more -
Episode 79: Brief Encounter.
James wrote the sketch this week, which is nice. Somebody tell him to do that more. Really put some pressure on him, or if you live close to him maybe threaten him in an extremely obvious way. Lots of stuff gets discussed in this return episode. For example: how we were on hiatus but are no…
more -
Episode 78: Poetry.
Kaleb digs a hole and James steadies his nerves against an oncoming storm at work. Then Kaleb plans his career as a hobo. Frasier explains Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to a depressed Cliff. We'll be taking two weeks off after this episode, because James seriously does have too much work to do. We...
-
Episode 77: Your Ego Will Consume You.
This episode was recorded on Labor Day, so we allowed a guest, Nathan Roberson, to write our opening sketch. In the interest of full disclosure, you should know that he was paid The Last Exit Show's usual rate of no money at all. In New York City, this is sometimes called "writing for exposure."…
more -

Episode 75: Amen Road.

-

-
Episode 73: Intrusive Thoughts.
We're now on Libsyn in earnest. So I gotta do these descriptions right. There's an opening sketch. We're trying to do a sketch every week to keep the writing muscles limber. We're also doing this as a sort of anti-improv mission statement. We talk about the passing of Kaleb's hero, Jim Rockford.…
more -
Episode 72: Oil.
Alright. We're caught up. This is the first Libsyn-exclusive episode. No more Podomatic for us. Not ever. Unless people don't donate when our money runs out. Then we'll probably wind up there again. But hey, right now it's time for big, shimmering statements of optimism. I remember nothing about...
-
