Cameron Buchholtz interviews comedians. This places him alongside several well-known podcasters, including public radio\u2019s own Jesse Thorn (and public radio\u2019s nearly nobody else). Cameron Buchholtz also does comedy, which places him alongside several well-known comedian-podcasters, including Marc Maron<\/a>, Pete Holmes<\/a>, Dave Hill<\/a>, and Julie Klausner<\/a>. He sets his own podcast apart in three ways, first and most obviously by giving it the delightfully punny name of CB Radio<\/em><\/a> [iTunes<\/a>]. (You\u2019ll also notice its site\u2019s sweet design<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Second, he tends to record interviews in Austin, Texas, his city of residence. You might assume that this choice would limit him to marginal if nevertheless funny interviewees, but nope; for better or for worse, Buchholtz talks with a great many of the same comics that Los Angeles or (to a lesser extent) New York podcasters do. By catching them when their circuit \u2014 or, less often, a to-do like South by Southwest \u2014 rolls them by, he\u2019s interviewed the likes of Jimmy Pardo [MP3<\/a>], Doug Benson with Graham Ellwood [MP3<\/a>], Paul F. Tompkins [MP3<\/a>, Jackie Kashian [MP3<\/a>, and even fellow comedian-interviewers like Pete Holmes [MP3<\/a>]. I don\u2019t need to tell you about these comics\u2019 conversational skills; if you\u2019ve listened to podcasts for any time at all, you already know. Holmes, in fact, somehow gets Buchholtz to publicly admit his schoolyard nickname: \u201cCrammin\u2019 Buttholes.\u201d Once you hear it, you can\u2019t unhear it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
