Beloved Cult Comedy Radio Program ‘The Best Show’ Returns as a Podcast

The Best Show

The Best Show, a beloved and long-running comedy radio show that aired for 13 years on New Jersey public radio station WFMU, makes its return as an Internet-only streaming show and podcast. The show, which mixes music, callers, and the long-form comedy sketches of Tom Scharpling and indie rock journeyman drummer Jon Wurster, is also the subject of an upcoming 16-CD boxset retrospective, due out in March 2015. I recently spoke to Scharpling about the show’s return on my pop culture podcast, RiYL.
