Brian Redban's Impact on Podcasts and Comedy Industry:

On this episode of Chats and Tatts, host Aaron Della Vedova welcomes special guest Brian Redban, a comedian, producer, and owner of a comedy club in Austin. They discuss their long friendship, Brian's diverse creative ventures, AI, cancel culture,  and their upcoming tattoo session on the show for Brian's custom Della Vedova arm piece.

Brian Redban played a pivotal role in the growth of podcasts and the comedy industry, notably through the creation of The.  Joe Rogan Experience with Joe Rogan and the wildly popular comedy podcast Kill Tony. His contributions were instrumental in the success of the Death Squad podcast network.

Initially, Brian and Joe utilized Ustream for fan interactions and Q&A sessions, which evolved into the concept of podcasting, garnering widespread popularity. Brian's dedication to managing multiple podcasts, including editing and production, underscored his commitment to the industry. He ventured into entrepreneurship by launching a t-shirt company alongside his podcast endeavors.

The success of Kill Tony, a live podcast featuring comedians performing one-minute sets and receiving feedback, solidified Brian's influence in the comedy realm. The show's format attracted a large audience and provided a platform for up-and-coming comedians.
