Getting Clowned with Marie Sotto

Marie Sotto joins the show to discuss different types of performance, we bring a never-previously-used rule off the bench to stretch its legs, and everyone agrees that stealing bread from Loblaws isn't so bad. Plus, a new rule is added that challenges the foundation of being funny on a podcast. You can find Marie's podcast After Life wherever you get your podcasts.

De-Coding Comics with Susie Hunt

Susie Hunt takes a break from table tennis consultancy to discuss the Code of the Comics Magazine Association of America, ghost characters, and a frightening new "-ism". Plus, Susie adds a subtle and flavourful new rule to the show. Correction: At minute 37 I incorrectly claim that The Joker once stole the Eiffel Tower. That is false. It was in fact an evil Kryptonian named Mala who stole the Eiffel Tower, in Action Comics #194, July 1954. You can find Susie on instagram @susiejgh [https://www.instagram.com/susiejgh/] and on Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/@susususususie], and follow her bands Teethache [https://www.instagram.com/teethacheband/] and Bad Data [https://www.instagram.com/_baddata_/] and go and see her do live comedy in New York City.
