This certainly fills the void left by missing spoken word tours and albums. I am extremely late to discovering this podcast. Thank goodness for hearing this show mentioned during Nardwuar’s show in San Francisco, where Jello invited him to be on this podcast. I am excited for that and I will be playing catch up in the meantime.

Great podcast!

Lifelong Jello fan. Part of me wishes he’d still put out more spoken word albums but this might actually be better. I don’t listen to every episode but when he has what I consider an interesting guest they’re great conversations. I just wish he wasn’t dead-on accurate with his commentary about how bleak these current times are.

As a DK fan, and Jello fan he does quite a but of renegade rambling, and doesn’t stick with focusing on his guests. He has too many sidetracks of thought and talking about himself…I’m sure he’ll improve his medium as time goes by, but it’s still rough around the edges.

I love Jello, but I thought he was going to interview his guests on this podcast. Instead, the guests are listening to Jello interview himself. Fred Armisen barely speaks during his episode.

As a lifelong DKs fan and always amused by Jello’s late-in-life undertakings, I subscribed to his new podcast to see if he could manage to wrangle in his self-centered stream-of-consciousness ramblings to actually interview (or even have a semblance of a discussion with) his guests. Nope. The Fred Armisen episode is a hilarious, if frustrating, example. Two hours going down unrelated and meaningless rabbit holes. Trying to trace his deviation after deviation is like a 19th century explorer attempting to map out the thousands of tributaries in the Amazon River. Fred displays incredible politeness and patience as he tolerates JB’s incredible lack of self awareness and uninformed questions. What *should* Jello do? My recommendation to the host is to focus your questions on your guests and your areas of alignment with them. i.e., punk. (For example, your fumbling “questions” to Fred about his comedy and acting career were so basic as to both bore your audience and reveal your ignorance. Scanning the guest’s Wikipedia page as you give them 10 seconds to actually get a word in, doesn’t make for an enlightening interview.) You know what? I take my criticisms back. With so many identical podcasts with identical guests asking identical questions, Jello’s deranged ramblings are a breath of fresh rotting vegetables. Don’t change a thing. 5 stars!

Always delighted to hear more from Jello Biafra. Admittedly, it would be cool to have video to go with the audio, but I'll take what I can get! 4 out of 5 just because of the lack of video.

Perfect combination of music history and political BS… gracias amigos

This is exactly the podcast that this dystopian shell of a country NEEDS, and not a moment too soon! Thank you, Jello!

Thank you very much. There are way too many people out there (that think they are interesting) doing podcasts. It’s about time there is another worthwhile project like this. Looking forward to more!

Enjoyed the backstory California U.A. And other tidbits from early in the scene. A bit too much old stuff we heard verbatim in the spoken word tours, but maybe new people haven’t heard it. Great guest. Listen in for the history lesson, stick around for the polical discourse in the final half hour. The segment heading into the break was gold, lol

Great podcast, K-Mart sounding Amazon commercials are a little off brand.

Jello’s been doing podcasts since the ‘80s (back then, they were called spoken word). So glad to see that he’s still doing ‘em now.

Love, just need the sound to be a little louder?

Way way way overdue!
