I think this is hands-down the best Will Franken podcast since the first one. Everything is constructed so meticulously, and the themes and stories are interesting. There's also great variety in the material, as evidenced by the terrific opening monologue on the father who falls off the roof and the closing gospel-esque song. Just a tremendous amount of creativity. By the way, my favorite bit in all of this is the diversity/racial tolerance seminar that comes near the end of the broadcast. I laughed my ass off at that.
I enjoy your wit and look forward to future episodes.

It would be impossible for me to pick a favorite vignette out of all of these but I think this whole episode is my favorite overall....today. I listening to them all repeatedly and they keep getting funnier every time. Also, with each listen, I notice something that I didn't notice or fully appreciate the previous times. This shit is so high above the bar that it is shocking. I am a 28 year old artist who does art in a similar vein (60's underground psychedelic comic books kinda shit). These podcasts are very inspiring to me. So I feel obliged to donate what I can. Which, for now, is only $12.
(Please donate anything you can--- so Will can keep making these!)
