The Rob Bartlett Radio Comedy Hour

Latest Episodes:

S6 E3 - ANIMAL FARM Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

In the latest episode of THE WORLDWIDE COMEDY AWARD WINNING PODCAST The Rob Bartlett Radio Comedy Hour, the Theme centers around animals. All types of beasts, be they wild, be they noble, cute, cuddly, or downright disgusting. Listen to James Lipton conduct an interview with a True Hollywood Legend on The Actors' Studio, discover a lost episode of the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau as the Captain and Phlllipe swim among the Manatees, and ride along with Marlin Perkins in the Florida Everglades searching for Man Eating Alligators on a special edition of 'Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom'.

(By the way…none of the above works out as expected).

PLUS there's a bonus game you can play along as you listen…how many Beatle Songs about animals can you name?

S6 E2 - The Man Who Saved Barney From Extinction Jan 02, 2022

Show notes

Just in time for the Rennaissance of Barney (With a New Documentary and Feature Film slated for later this year), The Robio kicks off the New Year with a long-awaited new episode; an interview with Larry Rifkin, the PBS Executive responsible for bringing the well-loved Purple Dinosaur to the masses. But don't hate him for that particular achievement; instead, be inspired by the multi-faceted, diverse career of a guy who took everything he loved as a kid and found a way to make a living off all of it. It's all in his new book, 'No Dead Air: Career Reflections From the TV Executive Who Saved Barney From Extinction.' It's quite a unique episode.

Cue John Hammond: 'We've spared no expense.'

The Robio is back after hiatus with a brand new episode, destined to be an instant classic because it's an interview with his old pal, Rich Vos. A laugh out loud funny hour with some amazing stories from both of their careers, and some hysterical clips of Rich doing standup...including his legendary performance on Def Comedy Jam. He also shares some brutally honest moments from his road to recovery from Crack Addiction...all peppered with his signature, self-deprecating, dark, sarcastic, original and brilliantly funny style.
