Re: Important Al Interviews/reviews.
This is really really cool!!!
Edge of Fame Podcast - Weird Al is a Walking Party
From the page:
"In this episode of "Edge of Fame," Geoff Edgers follows the most successful funny song man of our time, and arguably all-time, “Weird Al” Yankovic.
It’s easy to dismiss Al as a novelty act, a guy whose schtick wore out not long after he threw on his fat suit. But the reality is that he has remained relevant – and immensely popular – for decades. His most recent album, Mandatory Fun, actually hit #1. Join Geoff as Al talks about his sheltered childhood, his shyness, his career longevity, and his trusted accordion."
From Al's twitter:
".@geoffedgers from the @washingtonpost has a new podcast called "Edge of Fame" - and this week it's all about yours truly (i.e. ME)! Culled from HOURS of interviews with people like @Lin_Manuel, @jimmyfallon, Jack Black & @Coolio!"
Listening now - it's really worth a listen!!
It's also just REALLY COOL to hear Suzanne being interviewed!! And I thiiiiink I might have heard a bit of Bermuda??
Very thorough. Very well done.

Re: Important Al Interviews/reviews.
Al tweeted today that he is a guest on the latest episode of the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast. I haven't yet listened myself but I just thought the rest of you might like to know (maybe some of you might have a long drive ahead of you tomorrow and would appreciate something new to listen to that is Al-related)

Re: Important Al Interviews/reviews.
In case anyone doesn't feel like listening to the entire 90 minutes, I can confirm that only the first 20-25 minutes is the interview with Al talking about the new tour, and a few more comments in the last five minutes or so. The rest is character interviews where Al does pop in every now and then with jokes.

Re: Important Al Interviews/reviews.
This one is, I'd say, a very sobering article. Very honest interview with Al. I would recommend every fan to read it. (And it has a nice artwork.)
