His [Hendrie's] juggling of the multiple voices is impressive.
Yeah it is. I was a Phil Hendrie fan back before he originally left radio for a failed television career. All I had to do was hear "Raj Faneen" arguing that Halloween was bad because it teaches "the bastards" (Faneen's generic term for pretty much anybody other than himself) to become beggars. Or Bobbie Dooley claiming she was trying to get gas masks for all the families in her home owners association but due to limited budgets was able only to get them for the wealthy families. She rationalized this by claiming the poor in the naighborhood didn't really need them as they've been exposed to every disease anyway while the wealth, being cleaner, were not.
If you want a real treat look uup clips of him doing the show... He really is an amazingly tallented guy...
Sorry to steer things back to Hendrie but I subscribed to his tw podcasts and they have some good audio clips of fake callers. Does anyone know how much of the full show is a joke? Is it just these short clips?
It can vary. Sometimes he'll play three or more parts. For example, a month or so ago he had a "guest" (of course played by Hendrie) and a "caller" Vernon Dozier, a frequent Hendrie caller. He carried all three parts and kept the voices an opinions distint throughout ten minutes or so of the show.
Anyone curious about Hendrie should just get his classixc podcast from iTunes. The full show is available only to paid subscribers...
