Escape From Clowntown Podcast

When it comes to horror and comedy I’ll admit my tastes can get pretty corny, and when Halloween rolls around they get extra CANDY corny.

On that note, here’s two audio goodies to pop into your plastic pumpkin treat collector.

The first segment of this podcast is all in good fun—and hopefully doesn’t land me in court.

As for the second segment, I had to assure my wife, the hobby gardener, that I wrote this piece almost a dozen years ago and it has nothing to do with her...

An astrophysicist, a politician, and a priest were taking a walk in a park while they discussed the finer points of cosmology, science budgets, and the religious implications of space travel.

Just as they were about to exit the park, a flying saucer dropped out of the sky and landed right in front of them.

The three stopped in their tracks at this sight...

Let me apologize for the delay in posting comics. The July 4th Holiday and then a bit of home construction pushed back my schedule a bit.

Once you hear a more detail description of what I’ve been up to, I’m sure you’ll understand that certain events were out of my control, or more accurately, slipped out of my control.

A Small Update

My wife calls me a “small man with small measurements...

I don’t know about you, but I spend at least two hours every week on the phone and screaming into automated phone systems, “Operator! Operator! Representative! …Human! Let me talk to a Human!”

This experience on its own makes me very apprehensive regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence in any way, shape, or form.

If you’ve read any Issac Asimov, Arthur C...

This is a Halloween Special episode of The Escape from Clown Town podcast that features creepy music, scary sounds and stories plus and array of weirdness to amuse any fan of Halloween.

Given what’s occurred in the country recently, I thought I’d make a podcast episode that points out just some of the foolishness of where the United States is and where it might be headed. But I’ll leave the final analysis of these stories for you to decide the meanings.

The Beach

One sunny day, a man drives his modest gas-practical little car to a beach at the shore. He parks his car on a street near the beach and proceeds to walk to it...

In this episode let’s talk about memory.

Did you ever consider what you’d be if you didn’t have any memories? Would you be the same person? Would you have the same values? Would you be without any sense of conscience or morals to know what’s right or wrong?

Think about it.

Memories are the core of your essence. Your experiences and what you remember of them are the human operating system that guides your every decision in life...

I grew up in the small town of Elmira in upstate NY during the 1960s. This was a time when there wasn’t the internet or Cable TV to connect us 24/7 to the world and all its distractions. Instead we only had 3 local TV and radio stations, a couple of public libraries and a few local news stands.

One of those newstands was Rubin’s Cigar and News Stand in downtown Elmira.

Each week I would eagerly anticipate the trip Dad and I would take to Rubin’s...

This podcast episode features a chat with my good friend, Jd Michaels, who is one of the smartest and funniest people I know.

Of course that’s not to say the rest of my friends aren’t smart. No, it’s quite the opposite. All of my friends are geniuses. They only associate with me to gain tax credits for fulfilling a government “Dunce Quota...

My Dad’s birthday was this past Sunday. He left this world almost a dozen years ago but yet he managed to reach out to me in a big way back in 2019.

Here’s a comic which gives you a brief rundown of how he accomplished that along with a podcast which goes into much greater detail on the surprising revelations from my Father’s past.

This comic originally appeared in the “Family Secrets” issue of The Nib...
