Recently: A significant portion of Muslims claimed that the logo for the upcoming London 2012 Olympics is racist.  If you take a look at and analyze the actual logo, there’s nothing really racist about it.  If you need a refresher course, take notes from Kyle Kinane and how he imagines Trader Joe of Trader Joe’s promotes his “ethnic” alter egos.

James Adomian, live from the Dresden Room in Hollywood, California! Only here, on The Shakeytown Radio Hour!(photo by Robyn Von Swank)

James talks to Gene and Brodie about his stand-up, sketch, acting, and writing career and his impersonations of Jesse Ventura, Alex Jones, Brody Stevens, Paul F. Tompkins, Eddie Pepitone, and many more. The conversation also turns to “Saturday Night Live” and their monopoly on network television sketch comedy, archaic recording formats, the hotness of Mario Van Peebles, tense phone calls from Huell Howser, and the impending apocalypse and takeover of Earth by octopus people.


Also featuring… the music of Marty and Elayne!

James Adomian is literally everywhere…. like he should be.
