The Scarlett Speaker

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!

Looking Into The Pillow Case

Don’t lose sleep over this one.

Welcome back to Day 5 of the Dog Days of Podcasting! This month, we’re bringing you a new episode every day, featuring a bizarre-but-true Odd News story and a classic clip from the comedy4cast archives.

In this edition of “Odd News PAC,” we’re talking about a travel hack that’s taking to the skies. Are you tired of paying those pesky and expensive airline baggage fees? Well, some savvy travelers have found a loophole. It turns out that while most airlines limit you to a carry-on and a personal item, a travel pillow might be your new luggage best friend.

Of course, this hack isn’t without its risks. As we discuss in the episode, getting caught could lead to a less-than-glamorous exit from your flight.

To celebrate the Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast (or PAC), we’re also taking a trip down memory lane! In a classic clip from May 2007, Clinton dives into the absurdity of things randomly being declared “official”. Prepare to have your mind blown when you find out what comedy4cast is the Official Podcast of.

Tune in to hear the full story and relive a moment of comedy4cast history!
