The final episode of Radio Happy Hour

It only took us a few months, but we finally got up the podcast of the very last episode of Radio Happy Hour. We had a ton of our best friends forever like John & Molly Knefel, Arthur Phillips, Matt Pond, Franz Nicolay, Mike Doughty, Twin Sister, Max Silvestri, Gabe Liedman, Jessi Klein, Murray Hill, Dave Hill, William Ocean, and some other folk. I even made a very short appearance along with Mass, the other producer on the show. You can get the full episode here.

Photos from Radio Happy Hour

Time Out New York just posted a photo gallery featuring photos from the final episode of Radio Happy Hour.

Woo.

Only a few days until our final episode of Radio Happy Hour. Pretty happy that a bunch of cool places are picking up on the show and think it was a worthwhile thing we were doing. Hope you can be at the show.

Time Out New York made us a pick of the week.
The Rumpus made us a pick of the week. (The Rumpus also has this Sunday's InDigest 1207 Reading as an event of the week.)
Unveiled Arts made us a pick of the week, and had some really nice things to say about the show.

AND The New Yorker talks about the show in the Above and Beyond section of this week's issue. (see below)
Yes! Finally cool enough for the New Yorker. I'll never go to the bathroom the same again.

It's Getting Closer

The End of Radio Happy Hour

From the RHH site:

Friends, it's been fun, but the final episode of Radio Happy Hour is upon us. We will have more information soon, but for now you have this short post. The final episode will be on August 12th at (Le) Poisson Rouge. Tickets are only $5. Get them now, we're pretty sure this will sell out quick. The guests include Twin Sister, Mike Doughty, Franz Nicolay, Arthur Phillips, Molly Knefel, William Ocean and many other friends of the show. Get your tickets here.

Some live Radio Happy Houring

On June 18th we're doing the new episode of Radio Happy Hour at City Winery. Our guests will be Sun Airway, Hank & Cupcakes, Jared Logan, and John & Molly Knefel.

If you get tickets here you can get them for $7 since you're reading this blog. That's 30% off. Best deal I've ever had on this site that never posts deals. That's not what's happening here. Except for this one time.

Episode #18 of Radio Happy Hour is up

It's up and it's a hilarious episode. Guest stars this time around were Franz Nicolay and Arden Myrin. You can listen to the episode at the Radio Happy Hour site.

Franz Nicolay performed a new song while hanging out with Radio Happy Hour

Franz Nicolay played a new song in the green room before we taped the new episode of Radio Happy Hour.

Episode #17 of Radio Happy Hour is up now! Featuring Elizabeth & the Catapult, Dave Hill, and Arthur Phillips

Radio Happy Hour has just released Episode #17 featuring Elizabeth & the Catapult, Dave Hill, and Arthur Phillips. Listen to the podcast here. A little from Radio Happy Hour on the show:

In Episode #17 of Radio Happy Hour Sam moves to Montana to ref the Montana Three Way, a three way professional wrestling bout between Rusty Trombone, The Shakespearean Punisher (Arthur Phillips) with his inept manager Dave Hill, and Osama bin Droppin’ Elbows. But when Osama’s manager, Elizabeth Ziman of Elizabeth & the Catapult, comes out to tell everyone that Osama is missing the crowd gets pissed and the mystery gets hot ‘n heavy. And by “crowd” I mean Steve, the one guy who comes to the Montana Three Way every year.

Franz Nicolay is joining Radio Happy Hour

From Radio Happy Hour:

We're pretty thrilled to tell you about our next live taping. (It's not a banana.) On April 16th (that's only about two weeks from now!) we'll be back in the dark basement of (Le) Poisson Rouge drinking in the middle of the afternoon. This time we'll be serenaded by the serene tunes of Franz Nicolay. Franz is the brilliantly mustachioed man you've seen doing solo work, out on tour with our friend David Dondero, doing keys with The Hold Steady, and generally rocking in World Inferno Friendship Society. (A lot, I know, and that's not everything.)

Come celebrate spring, mustaches, and murder with us on April 16. The most fun you'll have in a dark basement on what should be a beautiful spring afternoon.

Oh, and if you're around on April 15th join us as the RHH crew go watch Franz play a show with our good friend David Dondero (remember episode #11, "The Don, The Delicious, and The Doom"?) at the Cake Shop in New York.

New episode of Radio Happy Hour up Today!!!

We've got a new episode of Radio Happy Hour up right now. Episode #16 "The House That Ted Built" features special guests Abe Vigoda, Marcellus Hall, and comedian Ted Alexandro.

On Valentine's Day

We're doing a Radio Happy Hour episode on Valentine's Day, and you should come if you're in NYC. It's going to feature Abe Vigoda, Marcellus Hall, and Ted Alexandro. It's going to be great.

New episode of Radio Happy Hour w/ Suckers, Tim Kasher, Arden Myrin, and Joe Mande

We've got a new episode of Radio Happy Hour up here. From the RHH site:

In episode #15 of Radio Happy Hour, “The Christmas Gayle,” Brain Aiken of Suckers, Tim Kasher, and comedians Joe Mande and Arden Myrin join the Radio Happy Hour crew as they mysteriously wind up at a holiday party of New York dentist. But it seems as though the person they’ve come with might be ghost.

Part 3 of Radio Happy Hour's The Fall of Keith

Village Voice says nice things...

Radio Happy Hour is the wry little nephew of A Prairie Home Companion—both serve up quaint, vaudevillian radio comedy, but only one of these will have raw riotess Thao Nguyen (of San Francisco Thao & the Get Down Stay Down) on deck tonight. Also, only one of these ends with a virtual river of Pabst on the floor. Quick-witted Nguyen should do well on "Radio Happy Hour"—as with all episodes, the guest will be tasked with helping the gang solve a short, spastic mystery by interviewing suspects, collecting evidence, and performing (because art is the greatest discovery of all, or something). Wear your Encyclopedia Brown best for a truly irreverent evening. With Jessi Klein, Ali Wong, and John & Molly Knefel.

Time Out also made us a pick of the week! Hey! There are still tickets for the show. (and you can get $5 off with the code RHHFRIEND)

Oh, busy day. This morning we put out Issue #18 of InDigest! Yeah. It's great. Poetry from Bart Schneider, Autumn Giles, Jackie Clark, Tony Leuzzi, new fiction from Lech Harris, Caren Beilen, and J. Bradley (who is reading at InDigest 1207 on Nov. 17 in NYC). New columns, recording journals, interviews, podcasts, and more.

READ IT NOW.

Then, Radio Happy Hour put out the first video of a new series called Radio Happy Hour presents The Fall of Keith. It stars the Radio Happy Hour kids (and me) and comedians Sean Patton, John Knefel, Molly Knefel, and Brett Tabisel. I like it. See it:

Episode #12 of Radio Happy Hour is up

We had Born Ruffians, one of my favorite directors, Andrew Bujalski, and 30 Rock writer Hannibal Buress on the show this time. We should have some extras up soon with more songs, interviews and some stand up from Ted Alexandro. He's great, and did the quiz along with Ali Wong, who is in our first Radio Happy Hour short that will be out at the end of the month.

Listen to the podcast here.

We're doing a Radio Happy Hour on Saturday. You should come and say hello.

This episode will feature Born Ruffians, director Andrew Bujalski, and comedians Hannibal Buress, Ali Wong, and Ted Alexandro. It's going to be wonderful.

There are tickets here and we have a new Radio Happy Hour website that you can see here. That's all for now.
