The Long Rest

A road trip so good, it’s forgettable.

A family road trip is the perfect way to make lasting memories. And in today’s Odd News PAC story, a Parisian man certainly made some, although perhaps not the kind his family was hoping for. When a quick pit stop turns into a five-hour ball of confusion, we can only hope the rest of their trip went better. Listen for all the hilarious details.

This is just one of many strange-but-true stories we’re bringing you this month. Plus, we’re celebrating the platinum anniversary of comedy4cast, or PAC for short, by capping off each episode with a classic clip. In this edition, we’ll take you back to 2011, where Derrick and Rory discuss Android phones and a whole lot more. It will leave you questioning everything you know about technology.

Whether you’re curious about a road trip from hell or how many things can fall between other things, this episode has it all. So don’t be left behind. Get on board, and let’s go!

Finally, a snack that’s shockingly good.

In this installment of our Odd News series, we’re zapping our way back in time to an unforgettable childhood experience. You know the one: that moment you did something your parents would have been horrified by, just to see what would happen. It’s a story that involves the creation of a new snack. One that will please your taste buds. Or at least the tip of your tongue. We’ll dive into the curious origins of this snack’s inspiration and discover the secret behind its electrifying taste.

And speaking of things that stand the test of time, we’re celebrating our 20th anniversary all month long! For our classic clip this episode, we’re rolling back the clock to 2010 for a clip from an episode titled, “Celebrating 5 years of not being featured on iTunes.” It was a star-studded affair with fellow podcasting pioneers Brian Ibbott, Dan Klass, and C.C. Chapman bursting in to offer their unique brand of congratulations. It’s a chaotic, hilarious look back at a simpler time in podcasting history.

So grab your headphones and get ready for a trip down memory lane, whether it’s through a shocking new snack or a classic comedy4cast moment.

These wolves seem uninterested in marriage.

Hello, comedy4cast listeners and odd news enthusiasts! We’re back with another installment in our month-long look at strange-but-true stories. This time, we’re heading to the ranchlands of the American West, where a surprisingly modern solution is being used to solve a very old problem.

When a rancher’s cattle are being targeted by wolves, what’s a person to do? The U.S. Department of Agriculture has an idea. And a high-tech one at that! This episode dives into the details of this high-flying approach to wildlife management.

What’s involved? Let’s just say that these wolves are about to get an earful. You’ll have to listen to find out just what kind of auditory assault these drones are bringing to the battle.

After our main story, we’re taking a trip back to the archives for our Platinum Anniversary (PAC) clip. This one is from an April 18, 2009 episode and features the one and only Jake Filbuster attempting to give a simple, straightforward commentary on a hot topic: Zombies.

Jake has some very strong, very hilarious opinions on the living dead and why they may not be right for today’s fast-paced world. Whether you’re a long-time listener or this is your first time hearing Jake’s unique brand of commentary, it’s a classic that’s not to be missed.

So, click that “play” button and tune in to hear tales of tech and zombies. All in one show!
