Excellent interviews

What a great show. The guest list is A+, and Aaron manages to get so much out of the guests.

A missed gem.

A little corny for my tastes, but one of the best comics interview podcasts that has ever happened. If anyone knows what Aaron is working on these days let me know! (My email is googlable.)
