Six Seasons & a Podcast

It's been 10 years since the debut of this amazing show. I wanted to talk to the people behind the scenes to uncover who wrote what and what it was like bringing to life our favorite comedy.<br /><br />We'll talk about the best jokes, the best moments, and everything we've learned from 6 years at our favorite community college, Greendale.

Blood Ties starring Gillian Jacobs. Now Out on Wondery!

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 “The Shrink Next Door” and “Dr. Death,” Blood Ties stars Gillian Jacobs (Community, Love), Christian Navarro (13 Reasons Why), and Peter Stormare. Listen to all six episodes ad free on Wondery+ on May 9.

Episode 49 - Ultimate Pen Episodes with Special Guest Alex Rubens

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 worked for us and it only took me another six months to publish this episode, so it feels like Alex and I are old friends at this point. Either way. Enjoy this great conversation.

Episode 44 - The Boys Are Back in Town: Making a Top Ten List with Guests Wes and Justin Burdine aka My Brothers

I asked my brothers to watch my top ten favorite episodes of Community and figure out if I was crazy or not. We were supposed to do this over the internets, but I got the idea why not do this in person. So we fly to Minnesota and camped out at my brother's bar (Black Hart of St Paul) and recorded, what I think was a really fun time. Audience?
