Donnie and Jonny's Story Time

Comedy EN ↓ 40 episodes

When a legendary sitcom creator (Don Reo) and a former federal prosecutor-turned-TV showrunner (Jonathan Shapiro) sit down to tell stories, you'd think it would be dignified. It's not. This is a podcast where comedy meets chaos, as Donnie and Jonny trade war stories from Hollywood, dissect jokes and humor, roast each other like it's a full-time job, and prove that age does not, in fact, bring maturity. With razor-sharp wit and a hint of crass, these two veteran storytellers turn every episode into bizarre, hilarious prattle. It's smart. It's stupid. It's Story Time.
