Sandwiching in a story about bread.

We’re already a few days into our month of Odd News PAC stories for the Dog Days of Podcasting, and today we’re serving up something truly stale. But in a good way!

In this edition, we’re slicing into the baffling tale of a 5,000-year-old loaf of bread unearthed by archaeologists in Türkiye. And there’s no doubt about it, this is one mysterious loaf. Who baked it? Why was it buried under the entrance to a house? Was it part of an ancient ritual? So many questions. You’ll have to listen to find out what rye comments Clinton will make about this very odd discovery.

But that’s not all! As we continue to celebrate the Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast, we’re looking back at some of our favorite moments. This episode features a classic clip from 2006 with a skit that finds Clinton answering listener emails, with the help of fellow podcasters. It’s a hilarious look back at a much simpler time in podcasting.

So, why wheat? Press play and let us know: Would you try a slice of 5,000-year-old bread?

Lending their voices in this episode are Steve Runner (“Phedippidations” podcast), Scott Johnson (“Frogpants Studios” family of podcasts) and Grant Baciocco (“Saturday Morning Media” family of fine podcasts).

The saga of the Seborga shambassy.

In today’s edition of Odd News PAC, we’re inviting you along on a wild trip to some countries that are certainly off the beaten path. Sit back and learn about exotic places like Seborga, Ladonia, and Westartica. You’ll think they sound too good to be true. But don’t tell that to their ambassadors. In fact, they’ll insist there’s something for everyone in their tiny countries. Get ready to discover the bizarre world of micronations and an ambitious individual who built an entire business around them.

Oh. Did we mention the story involves a new song by Clinton? Well, it does!

Plus more classic comedy from the vault!

Then, we carry on with our Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast (PAC) series. Continuing through our 20 years of shows, we’ve found a great clip for you today. Get ready to revisit a hilarious moment from January 2006. You’ll be introduced to Clinton’s very expensive, very high-tech new digital camera, the Specular MS-B4500. And it turns out this camera has more than just a lens. It seems to have a mind of its own! You’ll laugh as Clinton tries to navigate voice prompts, change annoying settings, and simply take a picture with this gabby gadget.

So, buckle up for a journey into the ridiculous, from international intrigue to inanimate objects with attitude. It’s all waiting for you in the latest comedy4cast episode.

Ancient bottle, unexpected message, modern laughs!

Get ready for another dose of the delightfully bizarre! In this edition of our month-long Odd News PAC series, we bring you a true story that proves reality is often stranger, and far funnier, than fiction. Imagine this – a faded glass bottle washes ashore, containing a message that could easily be from days long past. What secrets does it hold? A desperate plea? A historical revelation? Or something far more unexpectedly hilarious? Researchers are about to find out.

Listen to “Bottle With A Message” to discover the surprising truth behind this curious find. Let’s just say it involves a well-known spirit. And not the ghostly kind. Oh, and if you know your 1990’s dance crazes, that might be a big help. This is one comedic unraveling you won’t want to miss!

Plus, we continue to celebrate 20 years of comedy4cast. In this episode, our Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast (PAC) clip was first released in October of 2005. This one will transport you to a retro-futuristic world. Have you ever wondered what “tomorrow” looked like from a 1950s perspective? Prepare for a wonderfully misguided, incredibly funny journey through antiquated predictions of work, school, and even movie nights!

Don’t just read about it, hear all the laughs and ridiculous details. Click play now on “Bottle With A Message” – your ears will thank you!
