Dystopia Tonight With John Poveromo

The legendary Pitbull Of Comedy, Bobby Slayton is in hilarious and rare form all thanks to John giving him the wrong link for tonight’s show. John and Bobby talk about Standup, the road, levels of success, what makes someone a legend and how this is Bobby’s final podcast appearance.      

John and special co-host Brian Brodeur talk to Joe Travers about his life touring with Zappa, Duran Duran, The Motels, and his current position as the official Zappa Archivist.

John talks to Carl about his incredibly smooth transition into show business, his badass easy rider style motorcycle days, working with and befriending Steve Martin, The Smothers Brothers, Carl Reiner, Steven Spielberg and of course - JAWS!      

Marlana joins John to talk about her band Milo Greene, her new EP “At Least I Tried” and her obsession with death. She also grills John on his lack of punctuality as they discuss their former days as kleptos.   *There's a point during the show that's been edited down where John's producer Tom Banis takes over while John deals with a power outage in his home. 

Author and Friar Historian Barry Dougherty joins John for a conversation about the history of the Friars club, and how he got started writing, and never before told stories from the infamous Friars Roasts

British Punk Rocker / Singer / Song Writer and Sky Mall Enthusiast, Frank Turner talks to John about his thoughts on the pandemic, how he's spent his time creatively, his early beginnings, piano lessons, road gigs, his awkward cab ride in Asbury Park, touring the US vs England, his love for Sky Mall, the current state of the world, and more.

John interviews the writer and director of the cult hit VelociPastor ( and in his opinion one of the greatest movies of his generation) along with one of it's stars actress Melissa Kempinski!
