Morning Debriefing 8/6/11
1) Paul F. Tompkins is going to have a Dead Authors Podcast coming very soon! Yes, it will be a show were Paul plays H.G. Wells interviewing other funny people playing other famous deceased authors whether they’re well prepared or not.
2) Thai Rivera’s album is finally on iTunes! Go download it right now!
3) If you know what’s good for you, follow the hard-as-hell alter-ego of the hilarious Andre Hyland (Daily Habit), Jesse Miller @jessemiller69. Also, make sure you catch him live next Friday at the Hollywood Improv Lab because doing anything that isn’t “hard-as-hell” just isn’t worth doing.
4) Paul Scheer answers your “How Did This Get Made?” questions on Earwolf’s blog.
5) Exclusive audio of Andy Kindler’s “State of the Industry” Address at JFL on Laughspin.
