• The origin of Bean Dip (October 12, 2026)

  The legendary Comedy Bang Bang has been rolling a lot of reruns on its podcast feed lately, styled as “Bonus Bang” episodes with new, retrospective introductions by host Scott Aukerman. I especially enjoyed the recent repeat of “Hey, Keep Readin’” from 2018, featuring Weird Al Yankovic, Ryan Gaul, and Edi Patterson—the latter of whom debuted Bean Dip, one of my favorite recurring CBB characters.

• The Guru Letters (July 15, 2020)

  A favorite podcast features a sorta-neighbor.
