Saul Colt is an experiential and word-of-mouth marketer based on Toronto (available for you to hire at The Idea Integration Co) who loved David Letterman. In this conversation, not only does Saul sing praises for the premise of Finding Favorites, he walks us through the bands, movies and comics that he found through David Letterman.

Late Night with David Letterman started on NBC in 1982 and lasted 10 years. He moved from NBC to CBS in 1992 when Leno took over The Tonight Show. He stayed at CBS until his retirement in 2015. You can now find David Letterman on Netflix with a long-form interview show called My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.

We talk a bit about Larry Bud Melman, so here's a classic clip of Larry Bud Melman at Port Authority.

And for good measure, here are The Lemonheads singing It's a Shame about Ray instead of Mrs. Robinson.

Jason Mathes and I went to college together at Millikin University and probably haven't talked (other than social media) since the day we graduated in 1999, but he's the reason this podcast exists. We have a meandering conversation that stays mostly focused on his love of game shows, his lifelong goal to compete on Jeopardy, and ideas on how to improve any game show concept.

In this conversation, Terry takes us from discovering the Legion when he was 11-years-old on the South Side of Chicago and traces the path all the way to opening a comic book store in Rogers Park on the North Side.
