I can’t remember how I found out about this for the first time, but this is a really great podcast. This is something you’re best friend should tell you about immediately and you should share with your friends. Stephen Tobolowsky is a “character” actor that you’ve probably seen before, but maybe not remembered. I recognized him as the insurance salesman in GroundHog Day, but he’s been in a lot of good films and bad.
All he does is tell stories about his life. Yep, it doesn’t sound like much, but it is. I found parts of the first few episodes a little irritating, but give it a chance. There’s the introduction, a story, a musical interlude, another story, and the outro - simple. You laugh, you cry, what more do you want?
Look it up on iTunes under podcasts. He’s at episode 36 right now, which I’ll listen to later today as I take my 93 year old mother grocery shopping. She’s really slow, so I’ve got lots of time to wander up and down the isles listening to this and freaking out the other shoppers as I chuckle and sob.
He’s also got a web site off of SlashFilms with old photos of himself and Ann (you’ll meet her later - much later). If you listen to these in public people will definitely think you’re weird as you laugh and cry. Have fun.
