Listen up, lamestream media! There’s a new voice in talk radio taking over and it’s Glenn Sheen on 87.9 KWHO radio! Except KWHO isn’t a real radio station and Glenn is actually comedian MJ Matheson. We learn more about this hilarious satire podcast disguised as a radio show, and how Matheson is hoping to legitimize the reality of his fakeness. Read more over at Racket!

It's was pitched as a podcast, but it's really a YouTube channel masquerading as a radio program, and it's really fu***ng funny.

Hey everyone, Patrick here. Quick FYI: I’m moving MNComedy.com to MNComedy.net. Why? Because I’m a big sellout.

Everything is still the same! Your stories are there, links to Mike Brody’s open mic list, shameless book promo, etc.

Jerodon Kuehn is a comedy tornado. Which makes sense, because he’s from Oklahoma where there are like, a ton of tornados. Probably! Tonight he descends on the Loons on the Lake Comedy Festival as part of their big $10K comedy contest. First we talk about ambition, ego and contest baybay!
