-
Episode 17: Jeffrey Paternostro's Prospecty Vehicle
We know you shouldn't explain the reference, but the structure of this show is a reference to the interview interludes in Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle. Also, we didn't actually plan on this being the topic for Episode 17, but once it came up in discussion we realized we had no choice.

Episode 6: So you wanna be a prospect writer...
This is maybe a prospect list introduction. It's definitely a contemplation on an artist working within a rigid hierarchy he has no say in. It's also about how damn amazing and infuriating Sam Miller is. It's some other weird stuff too. We will maybe be less weird next week. However, there is no...
