Then you should hear about The Best Show on WFMU - Live Listener Party happening tonight. For those unfamiliar, The Best Show is a New Jersey radio comedy show. It's hard to describe, but it's a fake call-in show where one guy always plays the radio host and the other guy plays a variety of oddball characters who call in (such as "Philly Boy Roy"). Their largely-unscripted on-air conversations are drawn out over the space of 45 minutes or so and reveal a humor so subtle that you almost have to listen to each episode (available on podcasts) twice. Probably the most accessible installment I've heard is the one where the caller is supposed to be Pat Sajak's brother - here's a free podcast of that show: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mike-sajak-originally-aired/id306300026?i=81730543.
The listener party will take place tonight, Tuesday, at The 700 Club in Northern Liberties, 8pm-2am. The social media page: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=117106751710996
