It’s personal and it’s funny and it’s broad, a perfect example of what I think the best comics these days do. ” - Drew McWeeny, HitFix.com&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“The main act, Liam McEneaney, is an experienced comic cast in a similar mould to Kevin Smith: American, geeky and very funny. The material is simple, focusing mostly on his childhood, his relationships and therapy with ‘Death of a Salesman’, but his take and delivery are exquisite.” - Three Weeks magazine&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Liam in the Wall Street Journal: &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903327904576526550932089070.html" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://online.wsj.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="word_break"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;article/&lt;span class="word_break"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;SB1000142405311190332790457&lt;span class="word_break"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;6526550932089070.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://tyfcomedy.tumblr.com/post/52154337391</link><guid>http://tyfcomedy.tumblr.com/post/52154337391</guid><pubDate>Tue, 04 Jun 2013 14:38:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>TYF! #15: Eisner-nominated cartoonist JULIA WERTZ</title><description>&lt;a href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/tyfpod/TYF_15_JULIA_WERTZ.mp3"&gt;TYF! #15: Eisner-nominated cartoonist JULIA WERTZ&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://tyfpodcast.tumblr.com/post/49117847954/tyf-15-eisner-nominated-cartoonist-julia-wertz" target="_blank"&gt;tyfpodcast&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;TYF! returns this week with an interview with &lt;strong&gt;Julia Wertz&lt;/strong&gt;, whose graphic novel, “&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0987963023?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393185&amp;creativeASIN=0987963023&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;tag=theliammcenea-20&amp;=books&amp;qid=1367178074&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=the+infinite+wait%20" target="_blank"&gt;The Infinite Wait &amp; Other Stories&lt;/a&gt;,” has been nominated for a &lt;strong&gt;Walt Eisner Award&lt;/strong&gt; for Best Nonfiction Work. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We talk to Julia about her process, her hobby of exploring abandoned buildings, why she continues to turn down big money opportunities in exchange for artistic freedom, and we solve a mystery live on-air.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Plus, &lt;a href="http://www.adamwade.com" target="_blank"&gt;Adam Wade&lt;/a&gt; tells us a story about how &lt;strong&gt;Rick Moranis&lt;/strong&gt; has impacted his life in both positive and negative ways, and we spend another Moment with &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/staceynightmare" target="_blank"&gt;Stacey Nightmare&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this week’s issue: We talk to television producer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://proudlyresents.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Adam Spiegelman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, who tells us about how meeting Jay Mohr as a teenager in the New Jersey open mic scene led him to getting promoted to guest producer at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;, and about how he discovered &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Neil Hamburger&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bobpowersonline.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Bob Powers&lt;/a&gt; tells us the only 10 ways you’ll ever fall in love, and we spend a Moment with &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/staceynightmare" target="_blank"&gt;Stacey Nightmare&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;We also have a very touching story from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adamwade.com" target="_blank"&gt;Adam Wade&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; about the unconditional love of a childhood pet, and another &lt;strong&gt;Moment With &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/staceynightmare" target="_blank"&gt;Stacey Nightmare&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this week’s issue of Tell Your Friends! History’s Greatest Podcast!, we talk to singer/songwriter &lt;strong&gt;Eytan Mirsky&lt;/strong&gt;, about how collaborating with &lt;strong&gt;Todd Solondz&lt;/strong&gt;on an unlikely-sounding screenplay launched a career in writing music for film, about how he lucked into having music for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Tao of Steve&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; all ready to go, and how nobody gets laid living in Forest Hills.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In addition, we have a story from NPR’s &lt;strong&gt;Ophira Eisenberg&lt;/strong&gt; about how the spell of a voodoo priestess works when you least need it. And &lt;strong&gt;Liam McEneaney&lt;/strong&gt; reads memos written to his neighbors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;* * * * *&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;David O’Doherty&lt;/strong&gt; is one of Ireland’s premiere comedians, having won both the Perrier Best Newcomer and the if.comedy awards at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (in different years). He’s appeared on Irish television as well as American TV appearances on &lt;em&gt;John Oliver’s New York Standup Show&lt;/em&gt; and his own &lt;a href="http://www.comedycentral.com/episodes/dv4c6u/the-half-hour-david-o-doherty--the-half-hour-season-1-ep-102" target="_self"&gt;Comedy Central Half-Hour special&lt;/a&gt;, and he tours extensively around the world. &lt;strong&gt;Liam McEneaney&lt;/strong&gt; talks to him about the history of the Irish comedy scene, why the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is important, how &lt;strong&gt;Eddie Izzard&lt;/strong&gt; got turned away for a spot at a comedy club, and how you can contact David to ask him how to fix your bike.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Also, we hear another story from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kambri-Crews/e/B005E1C9V8/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393193&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;tag=theliammcenea-20&amp;id=1363198818&amp;sr=1-2-ent" target="_self"&gt;Kambri Crews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; about the horse she owned as a child.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this week’s issue of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tell Your Friends! History’s Greatest Podcast!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;, we speak to singer/songwriter Alana Amram about growing up in a musical household, how a musician listens to music, teaching music to kids, her life in art school, the craziest day job she’s ever held, and how the music of Liberace can make your day instantly better. Plus she sings a couple of her songs, including an amazing lullabye she wrote for her friend’s kid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;You can check out Alana’s music at her website: &lt;a href="http://alanaamram.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;a href="http://alanaamram.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://alanaamram.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Watch that first step, this week’s issue of Tell Your Friends! is a doozy!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;This week, &lt;strong&gt;Liam McEneaney&lt;/strong&gt;talks to actor, podcaster, and author of &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1451633157?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393185&amp;creativeASIN=1451633157&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;tag=theliammcenea-20&amp;=books&amp;qid=1362264781&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=the+dangerous+animals+club" target="_blank"&gt;The Dangerous Animals Club&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Stephen Tobolowsky&lt;/strong&gt;, about his work on films like&lt;em&gt;Glimmer Man&lt;/em&gt;, answers listener questions about his roles on&lt;em&gt;Deadwood&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Californication&lt;/em&gt;, and one of the most touching Mel Gibson stories you’ll hear all year. He also talks about why he prefers auditioning to being offered a role and he tells the unglamorous truth about sex scenes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;In fact, it’s only March, but the quote of the year might be: “For you people out there who think you want to be part of a simulated sex scene in Hollywood, let me set you straight.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;All that and a Road Story from &lt;a href="http://www.mikedoughty.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Mike Doughty&lt;/a&gt; and another trip down &lt;a href="http://tyfpod.libsyn.com/twitter.com/trumpetcake" target="_blank"&gt;Ted Travelstead&lt;/a&gt;’s Story Hole. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;And Liam talks about helping to scout interns at &lt;strong&gt;NYU&lt;/strong&gt;, and how the &lt;strong&gt;NY Mets&lt;/strong&gt; have the worst ownership in the history of New York sports, and how this might not be the &lt;strong&gt;Only Podcast That Matters&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this week’s issue of &lt;em&gt;Tell Your Friends!

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;And &lt;strong&gt;18-time Moth slam champion&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.adamwade.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Adam Wade&lt;/a&gt; tells us a story about his salad days as a page for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Late Night with Conan O’Brien&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;All this, and Liam talks about the transformative power of seeing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan Richman &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;live&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, headlining an open mic contest at a gay bar, and performing at the surprise 40th birthday party of an ex-Navy SEAL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Also, a sneak preview of the &lt;strong&gt;first TYF! bonus episode, “Novelization: The Reading Show Based On The Major Motion Picture.”&lt;/strong&gt; The episode is a live recording of a reading show in Brooklyn with &lt;strong&gt;“TV’s Frank” Conniff, Todd Hanson, Joe Garden, Maggie Serota, rap group Hand Job Academy&lt;/strong&gt;, and hosted by &lt;strong&gt;Heidi Vanderlee, Marlow Riley, and Liam McEneaney&lt;/strong&gt;. It will drop Wednesday, February 27th.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Cat has played in bands like &lt;strong&gt;Ryan Adams &amp; the Cardinals&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Hem&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Grace Potter &amp; the Nocturnals&lt;/strong&gt;, and she talks about all of that, plus stories about how &lt;strong&gt;Willie Nelson&lt;/strong&gt; is just as cool as you’d hope he would be, and her triumphant showing at &lt;strong&gt;Levon Helm&lt;/strong&gt;’s legendary Ramble.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Also, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://bobpowersonline.com" target="_blank"&gt;Bob Powers&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;gives us &lt;strong&gt;A Lecture On Internet Video Success From A Man Who Has Sex With Food&lt;/strong&gt;, and we spend another &lt;strong&gt;Moment With &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/staceynightmare" target="_blank"&gt;Stacey Nightmare&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;All that, and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tyfcomedy.com" target="_blank"&gt;Liam McEneaney&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; takes you behind the scenes at his three favorite screenings of &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://astrecords.bigcartel.com/product/tell-your-friends-the-concert-film-dvd-and-cd-soundtrack" target="_blank"&gt;Tell Your Friends! The Concert Film!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Catherine Popper’s interview theme is “&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1GY1FM?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393177&amp;creativeASIN=B00B1GY1FM&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;tag=theliammcenea-20&amp;qid=1361121547&amp;s=dmusic&amp;sr=1-2" target="_blank"&gt;Come Pick Me Up&lt;/a&gt;,” by Ryan Adams, from the album &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393193&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;tag=theliammcenea-20&amp;rl=search-alias%3Ddigital-music&amp;field-keywords=ryan+adams+heartbreaker&amp;sprefix=ryan+adams+hea%2Caps%2C276" target="_blank"&gt;Heartbreaker&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We also play an excerpt from the song “&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013F0K4W?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393177&amp;creativeASIN=B0013F0K4W&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;tag=theliammcenea-20&amp;qid=1361121709&amp;s=dmusic&amp;sr=1-13" target="_blank"&gt;Stella Blue&lt;/a&gt;,” from Willie Nelson’s album &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393193&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;tag=theliammcenea-20&amp;rl=search-alias%3Ddigital-music&amp;field-keywords=willie+nelson+songbird&amp;sprefix=willie+nelson+song%2Cdigital-music%2C282" target="_blank"&gt;Songbird&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;And the TYF! theme by &lt;a href="http://www.abriefview.com" target="_blank"&gt;A Brief View of the Hudson&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;This week we speak with &lt;a href="http://christianfinnegan.com" target="_blank"&gt;Christian Finnegan&lt;/a&gt;, star of a couple of Comedy Central specials, of &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://astrecords.bigcartel.com/product/tell-your-friends-the-concert-film-dvd-and-cd-soundtrack" target="_blank"&gt;Tell Your Friends! The Concert Film!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, and known from his appearances on TV shows including Best Week Ever and &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hM3_uLzu64" target="_blank"&gt;Chappelle’s Show&lt;/a&gt;.  We talk about how he lived when he started standup, and how his music nerdliness got him out of that. Speaking of which, he is also the host of the brand-new podcast &lt;a href="http://audiospackle.tumblr.com" target="_blank"&gt;Audio Spackle&lt;/a&gt;, which I highly—highly!—recommend listening to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Wait, wait, come back. Don’t listen to that, yet, because Finnegan’s interview here made me laugh really hard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Also, we have a story from his wife, &lt;a href="http://kambricrews.com" target="_blank"&gt;Kambri Crews&lt;/a&gt;, author of her memoir &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Burn-Down-Ground-Kambri-Crews/dp/0345516028" target="_blank"&gt;Burn Down the Ground&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, about what it’s like to visit her father in prison and how she almost got caught sneaking contraband in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We also get a story from &lt;a href="http://stephentobolowsky.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Stephen Tobolowsky&lt;/a&gt;, author of the &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1451633157" target="_blank"&gt;Dangerous Animals Club&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, about a working vacation that went terribly wrong.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;And &lt;a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/tell-your-friends!-concert/id580757807" target="_blank"&gt;Liam McEneaney&lt;/a&gt; reads romantic poetry for all the lovers out there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this our first double issue of the TYF! podcast, we talk to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.toddbarry.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Todd Barry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (from the movie &lt;em&gt;The Wrestler&lt;/em&gt; and his recent Comedy Central 1-hour special, &lt;em&gt;Super Crazy&lt;/em&gt;) about getting his start in Florida with &lt;strong&gt;Carrot Top&lt;/strong&gt;, how &lt;strong&gt;Larry the Cable Guy &lt;/strong&gt;drove him to his first paid gig, and about how podcasting has yet to reach its final threshold: someone killing themselves mid-interview.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Plus, we talk to local NYC folk rock duo &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.abriefview.com/" target="_blank"&gt;A Brief View of the Hudson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, who tell us a few stories about their early days, explain their method for writing the score to &lt;em&gt;Tell Your Friends! The Concert Film!&lt;/em&gt;, and then take to the streets of Williamsburg to serenade the locals with a couple of songs from their new album, &lt;a href="http://abriefviewofthehudson.bandcamp.com/album/querencia" target="_blank"&gt;Querencea&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In addition, writer &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mikesacks.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Mike Sacks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; takes us up and down the emotional dial of morning radio and we take another trip down &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/trumpetcake" target="_blank"&gt;Ted Travelstead&lt;/a&gt;’s Story Hole&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/1676/tuckerkutcher.jpg"/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bryan Tucker &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;may not be a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;household name, but he’s worked with so many that he can be considered guilty by association. In this episode-length interview, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://astrecords.bigcartel.com/product/tell-your-friends-the-concert-film-dvd-and-cd-soundtrack" target="_blank"&gt;Liam McEneaney&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; talks to Bryan about his first job working on “The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chris Rock&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; Show,” and riding with Rock in a limo to see &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bill Cosby&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;. He talks about writing the famous &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Race Draft&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Player Hata’s Ball&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; sketches for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chappelle’s Show &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;and how that got him to meet &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ice-T&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;He also goes into the process of how he takes a sketch like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/what-up-with-that/1187081/" target="_blank"&gt;What’s Up With That?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; from concept to &lt;strong&gt;Mike Tyson&lt;/strong&gt;, plus hanging backstage with &lt;strong&gt;Sarah Palin and much much more.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Only Podcast That Matters!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;“Like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Comedy Bang Bang!, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Liam McEneaney’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tell Your Friends! The Only Podcast That Matters! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;is based on a popular live comedy show and features a comedian host talking to other comedians; but that’s where the similarities end. Instead of the absurdist audio vaudeville of Scott Aukerman’s podcast, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tell Your Friends &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;favors a genteel, literary tone that evokes the soothing storytelling of Ira Glass and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;This American Life&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; more than the comedy-podcast template of comedians gabbing with other comedians about comedy stuff. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tell Your Friends &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;combines charming literary vignettes from both its host and his friends—the most memorable of which involves the larger existential and philosophical ramifications of swapping pens with Bob Dylan—with entertaining interviews with comedians Eddie Pepitone and W. Kamau Bell and musician Mike Doughty, who plays a song he claims was rejected from the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Twilight &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;soundtrack. McEneaney’s curiosity and affection for people and their fascinating imperfections comes through in both his stories and interviews. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tell Your Friends&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;has a cozy, nicely lived-in feel. It’s easy to imagine McEneaney—whose career recently got a boost when he appeared on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;WTF &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;and A Special Thing released a terrific, star-studded &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tell Your Friends!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;concert film on DVD and VOD—hosting in a comfy cardigan while sipping from a mug of cocoa in a book-lined apartment. Not everything on the podcast works, but its likeability and gentleness go a long way, and McEneaney’s willingness to playfully tweak the podcast form bodes well for its future.
