Marc Maron's WTF & Kevin Pollak's Chat Show . . . both have well-respected comedians interviewing other well-respected comedians (or comic actors, or writers) in a one-on-one format. For comedy nerds, they're an embarrassment of riches. (That means they're f--kin' great!)

Kevin Pollak's is a bit more showbizzy, more old-school, like a funnier Charlie Rose show, a bit more...genteel, perhaps?....while Marc Maron's no-holds-barred-angst can be rivetting or draining in turn, or drainingly rivetting.

Can't recommend them enoof!

Reality takes a hit in Webisode 12, as we ponder the fragile fabric of our precious time-space while discussing the Large Hardon Atom-Smashing Collider....and more! Our Host visits his charmingly eccentric shrinkatrist, Dr. Alucard, and we provide an update on the Bee Situation.

Guests stars: the Amazing Betty and Anne Dugan (in the Back-2-School piece), and Dawn Gillings (in our game show)

Special thanks: an amusing blog called The Skeptical Teacher, whence came the show graphic.
