Shakeytown Radio

Ramones' "Questioningly" paves the way for Gene and BFH fielding some questions from Joe Wilson ("Vampire Mob") about the nature of comedy.

Helium's "Magic Box" opens what is supposed to be a Tuesday talking about television, but becomes complaining about television critics. We try not to spoil "American Horror Story," "Dexter," "Burn Notice," and "The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret." Plus, an embarrassing story related to "Portlandia."

Considering the show starts with "This Is The End" by SNFU, you'd have to assume the podcast is coming to a close. But perhaps it's merely a new beginning?
