Jackie Kashian (@jackiekashian on Twitter) is a comedian and host of "The Dork Forest," a podcast which explores odd hobbies and fascinations. She joins us to discuss gaming, sci-fi, the power dynamics when siblings have authority over each other, Atlantic City's tastiest sandwiches, and much more. Gene channels the spirt of CCH Pounder and Brodie makes the best Galileo joke ever. Also, the music of Jacques Brel.

Jimmy Dore is a comedian who hosts the popular podcast "Comedy and Everything Else," "The Jimmy Dore Show" on KPFK 90.7 FM in Los Angeles (and other Pacifica Radio stations across the U.S.), the "Pop and Politics" live show at the UCB Theatre in L.A., and a new live show at Flappers in Burbank. Jimmy sits with Brodie and Gene to chat about coming from the Chicago stand-up scene, negotiating through the world of commercial auditions, the motivations behind and logistics of juggling so many projects, and the scoop behind the character Moron's obsession with infomercial products. Also, the music of Andrew Jackson Jihad (from Phoenix - we love you, Arizona!!!!).

After treating the listening audience to a song, Gene and Brodie discuss Nina Bargiel's contribution to the Lizzie McGuire canon, take questions from Twitter, report on how their holidays went, chronicle Brodie's fight with Frankenstein youth on the mean streets, psychoanalyze Brodie's challenging Jesse Thorn to a boxing match (for charity!), make New Year's resolutions, plan getting loaded in 2011 with JP Spaulding, and end the show with some more crooning and funky beats.

Over an hour of music and conversation with Common Rotation (Adam Busch, Eric Kufs, Jordan Katz), with an appearance by Dan Bern. Between some Christmas music and "an old Long Island protest song," we discuss movies inspired by true events, the pay-to-play racket and the Clear Channel monopoly, and the frightening prospect of strip club food.

Amber Tozer is a comedian, writer, actress... and DANCER! Amber joins Gene and Brodie to discuss her stint on the mattress black market, her work with autistic children, craziness and courageousness in Cambodia, unsolicited advice, holy pizza in Pueblo, Colorado, and her coast-to-coast stand-up career. Also, a very special holiday song from Richard Cheese.
