Dystopia Tonight With John Poveromo

Amazing comic and great friend of the show, Tommy Taylor Jr. joins us hot off the heels of his standing ovation worthy Dry Bar Comedy special out of Utah! Hailing from DC and crushing it in commercials, dating shows, HBO and his own long running live monthly shows titled Almost Ladies Night it was a blast catching up with him. Especially considering he was on the very first “lost” episode of Dystopia Tonight. Enjoy!

Richard Zoglin is a journalist and author of 3 best selling books, HOPE: Entertain of the Century, Elvis in Vegas, and my personal favorite Comedy At The Edge: How Stand-up in the 1970s Changed America.

We go in depth about the comedy boom in the 70s, his time as a journalist on that scene, the interviews he conducted in the the book, his favorite stand-ups, how it’s changed today, Bob Hope, Elvis, Sinatra, and the current state of affairs surrounding cancel culture, the comedy community and what’s next for Richard Zoglin. Enjoy!

Eddie Berman is a singer songwriter from Portland Oregon, who’s new album release this Friday titled Broken English (which can be purchased here: https://linktr.ee/_eddieberman) is a true reflection of the times we’re all currently living in. We have a blast talking about art and music and our own thoughts and struggles, navigating through the beginning of the pandemic, his early influences, venturing into a new territory by making an album in lockdown, and what lies ahead. Enjoy!

These guys were a blast to talk to! Both of their new Albums were Mastered by Max Norman who Produced Ozzy Osbourne, Y&T, Megadeath and many more! Max Norman quotes “There are some Brilliant Parts” in regard to the new album. The band is Scotty Bussey and Aaron Cabral. Enjoy!

Steven Cropper, sometimes known as "The Colonel", is an American guitarist, songwriter and record producer. He is the guitarist of the Stax Records house band, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, which backed artists such as Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas, Rufus Thomas and Johnnie Taylor.

His new album is a triumph during the age of lock downs, because the entire thing was done on an iPhone and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if you tried. We talk about that, extensive life and career, some name drops, road stories, his writing process and his love for music above all else. Enjoy!
