How Bad Is It [listen]
- The 15 Second Debunk (9:25) [listen]
I produce this regular feature with researcher Eric Hananoki. (He writes; I write, voice and mix.) This is Al’s “roundup” of the first five debunks.
- Overconfidence Theatre (3:30) [listen]
The following bits are good examples of a role I play on the show — audio producer. Our host or executive producer writes a sketch, then I record, edit and mix it, usually on a very tight deadline.

I co-host and produce a weekly podcast affiliated with the online magazine Flak.
- What Was the Theme? (12/01/06) [listen]
Every show ends with this regular feature: I attempt to find common threads among the varied topics we’ve tackled. In this episode, we secured our first underwriter — and a shoe-in for that week’s theme.
- Barney Cam (12/22/06) [Listen]
A deconstruction of “Barney Cam,” the singing, dancing holiday spectacular starring First Dog Barney, and the entire Bush Cabinet.
- Hitchens: Why Women Aren’t Funny (12/1)[listen]
Jim Norton, Taylor Carik, and Joel Meyer talk to Flak contributor and comedy writer Amelia Scott about the recent piece by Christopher Hitchens on male superiority in comedy.
