The Dork Forest

is a British comic and loves the tension and drama of television and movies. She also likes ghosts and movies about ghosts and books about ghosts and, I actually say, “safe space.” Remember: November and December are “do not donate” months. Donate to a foodbank or the Hurricane relief or someone else. January… donate to me. $100 each for the year would be great. Heh. Check out : the Podcast Empire...

makes fabulous audio dramas. She writes, directs, produces and performs in three ongoing series. She knows her old timey radio, Lovecraft and the writing craft.

January… donate to me. $100 would be great....

I did a LIVE show in Portland with  at a Comedy Festival there. It’s a bit buzzy because of the mystery of me taping live. Sigh. Patrick Brady is not to be judged. But the show is so great. I can’t stop talking initially but, Chelsea Cain, famous author, is a Dungeons and Dragon Dork. IRL, she is the author of five best selling NYT thrillers described by the NY Times as, "steamy and perverse," whi...

and are writers, comics, musicians from Seattle. I love their works. Aham thought he was coming over to “audit” the show in my living room. Oh no. Yer in the house, you’re on the show. And… It was Wynton Marsalis I saw live play jazz or trumpet. I stayed awake the whole time and thought, “I experiencing jazz. This is important.

enjoys origami. A lot. And he’s the creator of an LA based comedy blog called The Comedy Bureau, which I use a lot to find out shows to watch, be on and open mikes to do. We weed off from art to comedy to beer. And then we find out that Jake should never travel with his family again. He’s making world wide fans at one point. I find it hilarious. Enjoy.

(of Freaks and Geeks and MST3K) discusses how he has to use CONSTANT VIGILENCE against being consumed by any dorkdom. So he goes from tree to tree, in the dork forest, looking for the perfect balance of joy before obsession. There’s a part of me that wants to encourage him to lose control. He cooks, he reads, he’s in a band, collects musical instruments, he’s making a documentary. It’s fascinating...

writes one of my favorite ongoing comic stories (). I’m Live at in Minneapolis (Poster by is this week’s image). Again, I’m excited enough for the both of us. I weed off a LOT and keep asking him if he’s seen random movies. I’m told there’s a way to interview people at conventions. I did not know that. But he rolls with my weirdo questions. Enjoy.

is a true crime dork. More than that… she’s a true crime… expert. She has a website full of investigation, speculation and information. It’s great. And… much like her , we learn that there are a lot of killers I’ve never heard of, and I keep clarifying things that EVERYONE apparently knows already. This was recorded June 21st, 2012 so Sandusky is discussed. It’s a great one. Fire it up.  Donation...

I’ve known for … ever. He’s a wonderful man and I get a bit snarky with him. He’s a storyteller and comic and writer and I am SO not the hero of this show. This is the last episode I taped before I took a hiatus. So I regret the lack of total support I show for Dylan on this show… but it’s got the draw of hearing me as a dorky jackass. He’s great. See him later this month. Donation Button, if you...

is on Howard Stern a lot, he’s written a , he’s a great comic. He has his own podcast () and I love his stand up a lot. He’s just the most charming guy ever. See him live.
