Walking the Room. One last time. Ever. Ever.

Quick Question with Jonathan Sadowski and Travis Clark make their live debut at Podfest! Special guest celebrity chef Michael Voltaggio! Sunday October 8th @ 2pm.

What's that you say? No way I say. In my wildest dreams such a team could not possibly stand on the stage of Podfest and deliver a seemingly endless stream of laughter! I say, what an incredible piece of news, you have made my day good sir! MC Graham Elwood will do the business with The Todd Glass Show, Jackie Kashian, Jimmy Dore, Karen Kilgariff, Marc Maron, and Erin Foley at our Saturday Night All-Star Stand Up Comedy Podsmash! We discussed selling tickets to the show separately, and then decided that this event is strictly for the people who are supporting podcasts, participating in podcasts and who are a part of this community and our festival! Thank you all for listening and attending.

It's beginning to look a lot like Podfest! Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds breaking down the happenings in a way that only they can. No better way to find a good laugh on a Monday morning than to watch this exclusive video!

Lots of news to share this week, so stay tuned. Just a reminder that Hollywood Improv Comedy Club will be featuring Timesuck with Dan Cummins and The Raven Effect in the Improv Lab and Rob Has A Podcast and Who? Weekly in the Main Room. If you're in town on Thursday night, come and see these worthy podcasts.

It is PODFEST WEEK people! For those of you who are crazy enough to think that you can get everything Podfest has to offer in a single day...single day tickets are on sale now!(Three day pass holders will have preferred entry for My Favorite Murder.)

Holy Mother May I And Then Spell Cup! We almost slept on National Podcast Day. We don't even know if this is a thing, but since we were the first ever podcast festival, we are going to go ahead and get on board. If there's one thing that you do this weekend to celebrate podcasts, after you listen to one, its buy a ticket and help keep Podfest going! It's a national day...for Podcasting!!! Come on people.
