Welcome to my podcast! I’m Jared and this is a semi-cleverly titled podcast where I talk with interesting people -- due to the nature of my day job as a talent agent, I happen to come across quite a few of them. I qualify interesting people as those who live successful, non-traditional lives.

Beyond that I'll find artists, authors, advent ...

Musicals That Never Made It is a comedic musical podcast from Starburns Audio hosted by Broadway Actor and Comedian Gabe Gibbs. Alongside his co-writer Josh Colyer, these buffoons have written musicals that are, shall we say, not good?

James Haskell is facing an existential crisis. Since retiring as an international rugby star, he has become a ubiquitous personality, shape-shifting week-to-week from elite athlete to reality TV star, DJ, podcaster, author, MMA fighter, influencer and pundit. While James adapts to rapid-onset fatherhood, he is looking for his final form. In Haskell's opinion, the common thread running through his many post-rugby ventures is his unique brand of ‘comedy’... which brings us here. Amuse Douche p ...

We work through and analyze main ideas, underlying assumptions, connections with other texts and theories, and occasionally delve into the great abyss of free association, ad hoc theory jokes, and makeshift puns. The ...
