Tomefoolery

Cody and Ranjit are pleased to be joined by writer, improviser, actor, sketch comedian, and lady of the stage, Mary Jo Bolduc to discuss the foreshadowy nature of Flannery O'Connor. It was a hoot of semantics and game shows, the likes of which can be enjoyed by all! The story can be found online and also in short story collections available on Amazon.

Cody and Ranjit welcome comedian and improviser, Susan Messing onto the show to discuss the impact her favorite book and its author, Dick Gregory, have had on her life and comedy. We had a fun time, and we're sure you will, too. The book is available on Amazon Kindle and we recommend going and watching some of Dick Gregory's stand-up online.

Cody and Ranjit are pleased as Wendigo punch to have comedian Dave Stinton pop in to gab about 'The Wendigo' by Algernon Blackwood in what is, quite possibly, the silliest episode of the show to date. The book is available on Amazon Kindle and also on YouTube as a sort of visual audiobook thing.

2013 has begun, and boy, what a year it's going to be! Cody and Ranjit invite Mister Danny Pudi (from NBC's Community) by the Tomefoolery studios to discuss Stefan Grabinski's 'The Dark Domain' in an episode that is as wandering, disjointed, and engaging as Grabinski's own stories. The book is available on Amazon Kindle and in the darkest corners of Poland.

See Danny on Community's return to television on February 7th.

It's the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013, and so Cody and Ranjit kick the new year off right with Jamie Campbell, stand-up comedian and "bombastic genius" to discuss 'Baby Fever' by Susan Crosby--perhaps the hardest book the Tomefoolery troupe has had to suffer through. The book is available through Amazon or in Hell.

This month, Cody and Ranjit are overjoyed to have the fantabulous Dan Telfer, stand-up comedian, science fan, and master of galactic powers to discuss H.P. Lovecraft's semi-nautical tale of genetic woe. The book is available through Amazon, audio on iTunes, or from your local bookstore.

This month, Cody and Ranjit are joined by Kris Simmons, stand-up comedienne and co-producer of Double-Shot Showcase in Evanston, IL, to discuss pastor Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams' 'The Pink Swastika'–a piece of rhetorical gymnasticism which aims to prove that the Holocaust was a homosexual action. Pesky, pesky homosexuals indeed. The book is available online for free here: http://archive.org/details/ThePinkSwastika. Tomefoolery does not suggest purchasing the book, as it has the potential to fund hate organizations (or make you look creepy when someone looks at your bookshelf).
