In honor of The Long Shot Podcast's new season (with first episode guest Patton Oswalt), I conducted a lazy interview with co-host Jamie Flam. Find out what he, Eddie Pepitone, Amber Kenny and Sean Conroy listen to when they aren't creating magic somewhere in the Hollywood Hills.
WHICH EPISODES DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR SOMEONE NEW TO THE PODCAST?
Any of the Jen Kirkman episodes. Also, Episode #210: "Horses" with Jimmy Pardo. It was a particularly fun episode, and featured a rap by Jamie's mom.

| Episode #301: "Tipping" with Patton Oswalt |
Opinions vary widely on this one. Amber loves Episode #209: "Halloween", basically because "...I love Halloween."
Sean is partial to any episode where Eddie changes his opinion about something (which really narrows it down).
Jamie would choose Episode #202: "Caffeine", with guest Brent Forrester (Mr. Show, The Simpsons, The Office). "Brent's energy level and positivity left us all in an inspirational haze. Well, me anyway."
And Eddie feels every episode is fucking gold.

(Note: Not sure who listens to what, so I choose to believe that they share cocoa and listen to all of these together.)HOW IS YOUR DONATION STREAM? ANY PLANS TO MONETIZE THE PODCAST?
Many of our listeners have been very generous. But not ALL of them. Yet. We're also hoping that we can take some of the internet advertising you make on your website when this interview gets you 100 million views.

That sounds like a threat and a fever dream, which cancel each other out. Season 3 of The Long Shot Podcast is starting off right with guest Patton Oswalt. Find out how much you should tip if you're European, and why the creators of diet regimes are like hip-hop lyricists. Eliminate white flour and listen.
