Super psyched about this episode. I hope Welcome to the Booty Party made the cut.

Love this idea for an episode. The music from this show is very meaningful to me. Thanks Besser and engineer Cody Brett for delivering the goods. There hasn’t been a song I didn’t like hearing from this show.

I4H has really nailed it with the musical guests, this is a cool episode idea. I was initially miffed that there wasn't a new episode and then I listened to it. Matt Besser has a really wonderful and eclectic taste in music.

Yes! The "Musicians vs. Comedians" and "Hours of Madness" sketches are two of my favorites from this year! So great!

This was the best. I still owe this show a world of thanks for introducing me to David Bazan. I've since bought all of his records and the Headphones stuff as well.

On the topic of musical episodes I still would like a return to the episode with Dragoon and Sean Conroy where the guests just sort of brought something musical to the table whether they were musicians or not. It was fun having Conroy get everyone involved in an Irish drinking song.

"Oh. Oh. You know."

 

I love Chris Farren doing "I drew you once in art class" live in studio. It sounds like Neutral Milk Hotel playing "The Sweater Song." Long live live music on Improv4Humans!

Farren has a new Christmas album out on iTunes, and did'ja know that his band, Antarctigo Vespucci, put out a song called "I'm giving up on U2"? I'll never give up on Scott and Scott's U Talkin U2 to Me podcast on Earwolf.

Just re-listened to this episode. Cheers to all of the musicians but most especially Brett's engineering. You did/do such an incredible job, particularly considering the confined space you're working with. Viva I4H!
