Scott Thompson/Kids in the Hall podcast

Cory Doctorow 1:22 pm Wed May 12, 2010

Tavie sez, "Comic actor and writer Scott Thompson of the Kids in the Hall has been branching out into the world of podcasts. This one is his second and I think he's hit his stride. He's joined by KITH writer Paul Bellini (one of his oldest friends) and hearing the two of them talk candidly about Scott's stomach cancer, working on the new KITH series Death Comes to Town together, and their dinner with Paul Reubens… it's one of the funniest half hours I've ever spent on the internet.

Seriously good. If you're a KITH fan you need to listen to this

(Thanks, Tavie!)
