THE BUTTPOD

After a ridiculously long hiatus, here's a fun and funny way to kick off the 2nd Season of The Buttpod! Brent sits down with TV legend TOM BERGERON to talk old showbiz, new showbiz, no showbiz, and the joys of bombing at The Emmys!

Brent invites comedian, writer, and multi-pod podcaster ALICIA TOBIN to the Gameroom Studio, high atop Sparrow Media Towers, to discuss superstitions, extreme weather, "Hank The Shape", her new podcast and projects, and the hilarious joys of chronic pain!

Brent Butt plops himself across the table from a super interesting and creative dude, by the name of Paul Bae. Paul is a former stand-up comedian, who pretty much left the game to pursue audio drama, and his podcast projects have garnered huge international success, and are being developed for television. Funny, intelligent, creative... he's one fun and engaging fella to chat with.

After another healthy (long) hiatus (busy with production on Corner Gas Animated Season 2) Brent Butt returns to The Buttpod, and sits down with his very special guest, and old friend, Kevin McDonald, to discuss The Kids in The Hall, Canadian vs US comedy, first forays into showbiz, and the secret ability of cows... among many, many other things.

After a stupidly lengthy hiatus (currently delivering Corner Gas Animated Season 2) Brent welcomes tremendously talented comedian, and all around good egg, DJ Demers to the hallowed heights of Sparrow Media Towers, to discuss his time on 'America's got Talent', Just For Laughs, Canadian vs American showbiz, and 'The Golden Triangle'...(whatever the hell that is!)

Brent parks his carcass across from comedian and best selling author Charlie Demers, to discuss labour relations, family relations, animation, and crime fiction. Among many, many other things.

Brent welcomes comedian extraordinaire and podcast pioneer GRAHAM CLARK to the 67th floor of Sparrow Media Towers, to discuss comedy, journalism, being a young detective in Calgary, and how (and why) somebody might go about painting pictures using nothing but the beard on their face. Loads of laughs. Loads of fun.

Brent sits down with his Corner Gas co-star Fred Ewanuick (Hank Yarbo) to discuss his role on the show, what he thinks of the new animated version, what TV shows he loved as a kid, how to make beer, and whether or not cross-checking to the windpipe is officially allowed in lacrosse.

At long last, episode 6 gets launched into the world. A lotta laughs this week, with special guest PHIL HANLEY, in from NYC to do a run of west coast comedy clubs. We discuss dyslexia, mutiny, hiding from angry passengers on a cruise ship, and all that kind of jazz. Big laughs and big fun.

Comedian, improviser, and award winning comic book writer IAN BOOTHBY makes his way up to the 67th floor of Sparrow Media Towers to set Brent straight on about 850 different topics, including Elvis' favourite superhero, how high were the Brady Bunch writers, and breaking into CBC to covertly write comedy sketches. Whole lotta laughs!!!
