Summary
Known for years as being the guy whose unchecked anger screwed up his career, Dave Anthony has resolved his issues and enjoys a career which straddles standup, podcasting, and being a writer on Maron. We talk about self-sabotage, the dangers of being "solid", and his desire to break with the US tradition of non-themed comedy shows. Has podcasting vanquished the old gatekeepers, and have new ones have emerged, including perhaps Dave himself?
