Six Seasons & a Podcast

True Story: I chased, nay, hunted Briggs Hatton down through, of all places, LinkedIn. He was super gracious to accept my request to come on the pod and I’m so glad he did. The mythical “Incest Wedding” has a great story behind the whole tag featuring Matt Gourley. And Briggs’ journey from PA to writer is inspiring. This episode is so worth the listen.

Stop what you’re doing, we have Spencer Crittenden on the pod. Probably one of the most thoughtful people and just darn funny people I’ve met. We dive into  Community, being Annie’s brother, and lots of other nuggets. That’s all I’ll say. It gets awesome. Enjoy!

Hi, I'm Alex and this is...Pop Pop Culture 101 on Six Seasons and a Podcast. While Community isn't on TV anymore, I'm continuing what I think would be a deep dive into the Pop (Pop) Culture that would inspire new episodes of the show. I'm really excited to talk to Sam Phalen, Survivor 47 Runner Up, and we even get into Chicago White Sox baseball. I really recommend listening to thi...

This week we have THE Professor Slater, Lauren Stamile. Which means I had to bring the big guns out of retirement. Jillian and Michael from Welcome to Greendale podcast joined me to talk about Season 1 and what was and what could have been if Jeff would have made the right decision! (TEAM SLATER!) And possibly there's a special appearance by my daughter who got the chance to ask Lauren about h...

If you listened to Harmontown at any length you know the name Steve Levy. And maybe, like me, you've yelled it out at a live show. Once Dan Harmon's assistant, Steve has gone on to become an integral part of the Dan Harmon ecosystem as Vice President of Harmonious Claptrap (Dan Harmon's TV Production Company). Thoughtful, kind, and incredibly intelligent are just a few words I'd use to describe St...

What if I told you I found the person behind the Social Media Accounts (Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok) for Sony and the Community TV accounts during the height of the pandemic and resurgence of Community online? Well her name is Tedi and she's whip smart, a super fan, and someone I call friend. Matt from Communiess online joined us and between the two of them if you thought or posted about Co...

Hey folks! We're back with the first episode of what I guess I'm calling Season 2 of Six Seasons and a Podcast. I reserve the right to change that at any time because it's all the same podcast, right? Who knows. All I know is that Adam Countee joined me and he was hilarious and thoughtful and everything I hope a pod guest would be. Enjoy the conversation and look for weekly episodes th...

Hey folks! Guess what? I decided to relaunch, repilot, restart Six Seasons and a Podcast. I've got close to 10 new episodes coming over the next few months and I can't wait to share the names and conversations with you! Matt from Communiess joined me to talk about where we've been, where we are, and where we're going. Feel free to check me out on all the socials and email me if you...

Matt from Communies had a great interview with The Hop-Ons Podcast host Colin Cox about his academic paper called, "Still Cool as a Zombie": Community , the Zombie Aesthetic, and the Politics of Belonging . His article is here: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-0787/13/5/117

Hi Folks, Matt from Communiess and I interviewed Jordan Blum about Community, MODOK, and Minor Threats. It was great hearing his insight on the Meow Meow Beenz episode and behind the scenes action on the show! Enjoy!

Hey Friends! Another great episode of the pod. This week I'm talking to author Eric Garcia (We're Not Broken) about Neurodiversity. We dive deep into Abed (and other ND coded characters) and talk about our experiences as ND folk. I really love this episode and hope you enjoy it as much as it was fun to make. Thanks to Matt from @Communiess for helping edit and master!

Hey Folks! In the spirit of the recent announcement from Dan Harmon (which actually happened a few days after we recorded this)...I got some of my whitest, malest, Communiest friends together to talk about the Community Movie! Always a good time to talk with Zach, Colin, Dan, and Kevin. Enjoy!

Writer/Producer Andy Bobrow talks with me about the new animated sitcom Krapopolis and the now settled Writer's Strike. Andy is basically an honorary guest host of the show at this point. My friend Anthony joined us as well to pose some excellent Community questions, such as "Who farted?". Enjoy this fun conversation!

Folks, we're back with a special edition episode of Six Seasons and a Podcast. Community writer, Tim Saccardo, joined me to discuss the WGA writers' strike and why it's important for us to pay attention. In the second half of the episode, Dr. Jason Delaney, an economist, joined me to share his thoughts on the economic impact of the strike and how unions affect our daily lives. Hope you enjoy! #six...

This is it, folks. The one we've been waiting for. Dan Harmon, creator of Community, joined me for a fantastic conversation about the Community Movie, selecting writers for the Community writer's room, creating characters, and more. And yes, I tried to pitch him on a few ideas I had for the movie...hence the episode title. (Thanks to Marcus Laird for the name suggestion without knowing what I did....

New friends Better and Hips join me for a conversation about ALL kinds of things and some Community sprinkled in. Get to know these funny, amazing, thoughtful Community podcasters, as I jump back behind the mic after taking most of 2022 off.

In this bonus episode, Matt and Mike from the Community fan account @Communiess joins Ivan "The Community Lego Guy" for a conversation about his @CommunityTV Lego set. Enjoy!

I was on a boat, but Matt from Communiess and Dan from Apartment 303 interviewed for us Broken Lizard's own Jay Chandrasekhar who directed nine episodes of Community!

Blood Ties is out on Wondery and Apple Podcasts. It stars our favorite Gillian Jacobs. We tried to make a promo ad. This episode is that effort. If that sounds fun to you, please listen. It's worth it.

Our family members are not always who we think. When Eleonore Richland exposed her father’s dark legacy, she vowed to clean up the family business – and hired her half-brother, Santino Reyes, to help her do it. But old habits die hard. In the shocking new third season, Eleonore reckons with what her father always taught her growing up: medicine is a bloody business. From Wondery, the makers of “Th...

We're back for a special episode of Six Seasons and a Podcast! I'm joined by not one but TWO amazing Andys. Andy Bobrow was a writer on Community and shares with us some of his experiences on the show. Andy Stanton is the writer of the Mr Gum book series and tells a wonderful story about visiting the Community Set. Together they have created the first and only podcast about the iconic British TV s...

Hey folks. Here is the final (probably. maybe. we'll see) episode of 2021...and possibly the second last of the podcast (probably. maybe. we'll see) depending if/when Dan is available to chat. It's been another fun year at Six Seasons and a Podcast and my final chat with was Alex Rubens (Community, Rick and Morty). The funny thing is it took Alex and I six months to find a time and date that worke...

Batter Up, folks! We're going back in time to pre-playoff baseball. This episode was recorded back in October but for a lot of reasons I just didn't get a chance to publish it. Here it is as a surprise release in December. Greg Cromer (Rich from Community!), Josh Nelson (Sox Machine Podcast), Caleb Sawyer (Advanced Community Studies), and Luke Matthews (Who was my second guest ever on SSAAP!) all...

Advanced Community Studies own Kevin Lannigan joined me for an awesome conversation with Tim about Community, Vice Principals, and more. I really enjoyed this one. Hope you do to.
