In the spirit of the last post, and re-purposing this blog, I will try to give more regular recommendations of various bits of coverage of comedy in the media. For this one, I'd like to point people to Bill Simmons "B.S. Report," previously cited as a Jester favorite among podcasts. It's a few weeks old, but the Dec. 15 two-part interview with Louis C.K. is a must for comedy fans and media aficionados. In the interview, Simmons goes in-depth into the comedy and entertainment business with Louis C.K., following his successful and groundbreaking marketing of his latest one-hour special indepedently online. Together, they get into the economics of both the special and producing his "Louie" series, as well as touring as opposed to looking for a movie career. It's interesting and also inspiring as an example of how there is a path to do creative work if one creates it for oneself.
P.S. Thanks to Anthony Malakian of "Good Shot At Losing" for reminding me about this one.
