I began this podcast in 2009 from my house. It was barebones. Two guys, two microphones. I riffed, ranted and dug deep with the likes of Seth MacFarlane, Kevin Nealon, Joel McHale and others. In 2010 I “got the band back together” and reformatted it into the morning show I left behind on terrestrial radio. Now after more than a decade I’ve made the decision to return to those early podcasting roots, without the sidekicks or sound-effects. Gina Grad and Bryan Bishop remain friends, both of mine and of the show, and will hopefully continue to contribute from time to time but in the overcrowded field of podcasting it’s your ideas, unique perspectives and voice that cuts through and grows audience. 2023 will mark a return to a more pure, uncut Carolla.
