Technically, today is a Podcasting Day. Technically, we have an amazing guest for you: Soren Bowie — the Ace with the Face, the Chin for the Win, the Man So Nice His Name is a Knife. That doesn’t rhyme but it does knife. Three-time voted Handsomest Soren on After Hours, former Cracked editor and columnist, current writer for American Dad and co-host of the excellent Quick Question podcast with his longtime comedy partner and friend, Daniel O’Brien.
It’s a big get! We’re so excited to have him!
But we don’t have a podcast for you today. What we have instead is a challenge: Can you listen to all of this? You won’t win anything. Not even our respect. And still we ask: Can you make it to the end, coward?
This is a bad podcast! And we did it sort of on purpose, and we’re kind of in love with how it turned out. Now we dare you to even try it.
It is several hours of three former Cracked writers talking inside baseball about writing internet comedy, and it takes the form of us bringing our own articles to read, and then at the last minute… Seanbaby insists we switch parts. We read comedy not meant to be read aloud, not written for our voice, that we did not not prepare for and may not fully understand! For several hours! If you’ve got a spare laptop to burn down, you can visit our former employer and try to read Sean’s article here, Soren’s here, and you can play Brockway’s game right here.
You can actually hear us learn to hate as it goes on. Listen to the joy leave our voices as each of us falls into the trap we laid for ourselves. Brockway has chronic tendonitis in his jaw – this podcast actually physically defeats him toward the end. But we keep going.
This might be art — we might have done our first art!
You technically can follow us wherever you get podcasts, and it is possible for you to leave us a nice review here.
Technically. Possible.
If we haven’t burned all of your goodwill already, there’s new merch in the store! Tell people what you think of reading (it’s fucking crazy) with this shirt about stuff that’s fucking crazy (reading!)
