Fans of Bill Hicks should check out episode 54 of Marc Maron's WTF podcast. Comedian Ron Shock joined Maron, and the two talked mostly about the life and comedy of Bill Hicks, whom Shock knew at the beginning of his career and whom Maron knew towards the end. prior to this show, I knew nothing of the story of Ron Shock, a Texas comic who would probably not be well liked by the "Blue Collar" crowd. Interesting guy.
http://wtfpod.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=591815 This installment ranks among the best of Maron's podcasts to date. >From the opening gambit about Vegas (much of it recorded during a visit to the Liberace museum) to the Shock interview and Hicks retrospective, it was a well-rounded and very funny show.
