I just started a podcast.
Get in on the round floor and tell your friends you listened to it way back when.
It’s less than 10 minutes, guaranteed!
Kevin Hines is nice enough to play along in my low-budget game show. Can he tell the difference between James Joyce’s Ulysses, considered the best novel of the 20th Century by the Modern Library, and A Dance With Dragons, book five of George R. R. Martin’s fantasy series, “A Song of Ice and Fire”?

Consider participating in National Sketch Writing Month.
I’m writing a sketch a day all through September. You can follow my progress and read most of the sketches here.

Erik Tanouye is a writer and comic in New York. He performs every Saturday night at 7:30 pm at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York with The Curfew. He also writes for the sketch group Neighbor Boy.
