My new podcast series, A Night Called Tomorrow, premiered on November 9th on Howl but I wasn't in the mood to talk about it. But as the dust and emotions settle (and the determination and activism rise), I'm about ready. It's a 10-episode sci-fi noir set in 1950s Los Angeles, written by me and Brie Williams and starring me, Azure Parsons, Andy Richter, Molly Quinn, Baron Vaughn, Lauren Lapkus, Weird Al Yankovic and many others. New episode every Wednesday. There's a nice blurb about the show in this NY Times article about podcast radio drama. Use the promo code "Night" to get a free one-month subscription to Howl. (Meanwhile you can hear the trailer here.) All of us who worked on it are very proud of the show and it might provide a moment of pleasure in these dark times. (Artwork by my brilliant s.o. Sara Pocock.)

Rolling Stone said some nice things about my podcast last month while it was on hiatus. It returns this month with a new episode by the great Anne Washburn (who wrote the much beloved first episode about an insomniac's inventory of his refrigerator). Enjoy at Feral Audio or iTunes. And if you enjoy, reblog. It helps!

I’ve reflected on so many of his performances through the years but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought about that troll. I’ll keep thinking about it.
