The Dork Forest

Beth Littleford (@bethlittleford) is a comedic actress (adults will remember her as a segment "reporter" on The Daily Show) that is on DOG WITH A BLOG. She loves THE DANCE... real dancing, but also the dance of coupon clipping and saving a shekel. She's good people. You will enjoy.

This month our sponsor is WESTSIDE KIDS toystore in Manhattan. It’s a simple, elegant jingle jangle of a toystore. My favorite are the costumes and the musical instruments. But there’s lots for everyone. 84th & Amsterdam, NYC.  

We all know I have an hour comedy video out at right? Cuz I do. $5 download. It’s called “This Will Make An Excellent Horcrux” because comedy is all about soul ;) … Own it today and forever. OR get a hard copy (or the CD) on the Merch page on my website.

It's the add-on to TDF. It's an "after" show so this opens with the Mike Ruekberg rendition of "Mexican Hat Dance" so I talk as it closes www.thedorkforest.com and begin this...

I read old emails and comments, and will eventually catch up.  I tell you more about MY dorky thing for this week, so, who knows. In any case, thanks for listening. I’ll get better at these as we go. LEARNING CURVE FOLKS.

Will Miles (@MrWillMiles) is a great NY comic and we talk about Romantic Comedies (it’s one of my own dorkdoms so I talk over him a bit…grr, learn to shut it, Kashian!) … so I’m glad we move through his love of sneakers to the psychology of writing comedy from a positive perspective and his love of a memoir. He couldn’t be more charming. See him live and enjoy this dork out.

Andy Levitt… from Live Nation, loves ALL SPORTS… Let’s just say that I know nothing about all of these sports and I think I even wreck the Harlem Globetrotters joke I attempt. NOTE: We are at lunch, so we are eating. That’s what makes it an EXPEDITION in this case. His love of ALL SPORTS is awesome. Enjoy.
