Fredericks,
To what extent would you say you're influenced by the likes of Negativland/ "Over the Edge", the radio program "Puzzling Evidence" (or any other Curch of the Subgenius type programming -- yes, I mean that word in both ways: as a radio program and programming the individual), or some of Ken Nordine's work? I hear strong similarities in all of these to what you're doing.
I have addressed some of these topics previously, but you're a newb.
I described my podcast to Tom as a cross between NegativLand and Firesign Theater.
Have loved Nordine since I was a kid and he was doing commercials
I adore
Word Jazz.
I like Negativland quite a bit as well.
Over the Edge and
Puzzling Evidence are too scrambled and incoherent for my taste. Five minutes and my brain tires.
I like Mr Dobbs but I haven't given him any money.
I will listen to Ivan Stang.
As far as his followers go, I've met a few, got along well but not smashingly.
