Dead men and other tales

• Can’t keep a dead man down—The First annual(?) GoodisCon this weekend in Philadelphia


• While I was no fan of Bust, The Hit List interviews crime writer Jason Starr, author of Lights Out and other great novels.

• Steve Martin mourns the loss of Iraq’s wild and crazy former dictator. (Huffington Post.com)

• If you’re already suffering from post holiday blues, please, please do your self a favor listen to Jordan, Jesse Go !’s holiday episode.
  
  A fantastic hour of holiday anxiety and hilarity as our two hosts dread family time, be it spending it at an AA meeting or navigating the awkward reappearance of an absentee parent. Not to mention Jordan and Jesse take listeners calls about their worst Christmas that is now nostalgically funny. A great, great hour of fun.
