Still a Great Joke

For the Season 1 finale, I brought back my friend Igor Hiller to discuss...well...how everything went! Igor is a professional coach, so I knew he'd have some great feedback for me, and I wasn't disappointed. Will SAGJ be back for another season? Will it morph into something new? Email me to let me know your thoughts!

After a mid-season break, Still a Great Joke is BACK! Joining me this week is noted music journalist and former MTV News reporter, John Norris. John and I discuss a wide variety of things before joke time 45 minutes in, including life in NYC, our memories of 9/11, and how the music industry has evolved since the 80s.

This week I am joined by one of my first/most important meditation teachers, Hilary Jackendoff. We have an in depth discussion about meditation before joke time, which -- no spoilers -- did NOT go as I planned! Let's just say that even at joke podcasts, Hilary remains the teacher and I, the humble student.

For all your meditation needs, from beginner to expert, I urge you to follow Hilary on IG at @meditationchick

This week's episode, recorded live in Mexico City, features musician Ale Moreno, singer for the Mexican rock band Ruido Rosa. We had an awesome conversation about the joys of being in a touring rock band prior to joke time, at which point she translated a classic Mexican joke about a young boy named Pepito, and I told her one of my favorite jokes of all time --the tale of Nate the Snake!

On this week's episode, we all get to experience a typical compliment laden conversation between me and one of my best friends, drummer and producer Sarab Singh. After a lengthy talk about music, self acceptance, and how much we love one another, Sarab tells me a clever one liner about a bear, and I tell him about my old NYC band, The Hooves.

This week's guest is my dear friend and musical hero, LP! Listen as we reminisce about life on tour, and marvel as I proceed to fall into the trap of asking her the exact same question every other interviewer asks her! When Joke Time starts at 21:30, LP turns to the mighty databank of Google humor and I tell her a continuation of the Shaggy Dog joke I told in episode 1. 

LP's amazing new single, "The One That You Love," is out now and available on all streaming platforms.

Episode 2 of Still a Great Joke features Beth Martinez, founder of Danger Village Music PR. Before telling our jokes, Beth and I discuss all sorts of things, from Beth's Pastrami Club to my lifelong desire to open a licorice shoppe. Jokes start at 26:20, when Beth tells a series of one-liners, and I tell Beth the tragic story of my cousin, Patricia Wackowski. Enjoy!

Hello! My name is Alex Feder. Welcome to Still a Great Joke -- a podcast in which my guest tells me a joke, then I tell them a joke...and that's basically it! For the inaugural episode, I am joined by coach, podcast host, comedian, and all around great dude Igor Hiller. This episode is all about testing the waters, exploring the format, and letting the audience in on the process behind this podcast. Is there any way to have a joke feel funny when you have an audience of one? Can a joke be enjoyable if it has no punchline? Can I do justice to the first joke I ever learned? Tune in to answer these questions and more!
