TOP 3 - a podcast favorite

Bruce Campbell says "Movies that are easy to make are hard to watch."

Maybe so, but this is the most fun I've had taping a podcast AND it's damn good listening.

Comedian/long-time friend Liam McEneaney hosts a conversation with TV's Frank (Frank Conniff of Mystery Science Theater 3000 fame), Musician Cat Popper and me.

Listen to the episode HERE

Liam's regular podcast, titled TELL YOUR FRIENDS, is a mix of interviews and comedy and storytelling. The concept of TOP 3 is simple: Liam and his guests name their top 3 favorites in a given area.

Topics include Top 3 Favorite Stephen King works (Non-Novels)

Top 3 Science-Fiction TV shows

Top 3 Bassists

Plus some nice tangents about houseboat owners in New York City and a personal anecdote about Duke Ellington. 

Listen to it all right HERE
