Summary

It’s great staying friends with people through the years, and nobody’s seen this show grow as much as comedian Amanda Cohen. Amanda came into our lives through a Craigslist ad looking for people with big personalities to participate in a Pee Wee’s Playhouse style musical variety show.

Soon after meeting, we launched this podcast and Amanda’s been with us through the highs and lows of our 18 years in podcasting. She’s a rising star in LA’s comedy scene and she’s currently touring the Midwest.

Today comedian Amanda Cohen joins us to kick off our fall season to talk about the early years of podcasting and to look at the future of filmmaking and artificial intelligence. Will computers auto generate infinite reboots of our favorite shows with our favorite actors, like Carol Channing as the Borg Queen on Star Trek?
