My podcast about a murdered, canceled comedian just hit a perfect score on Podnews. Honestly, given the state of entertainment, I hope my fictional story doesn’t get any closer to reality.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks to you, Dean’s Killer Joke is rocking a perfect score on Podnews. Listen before the next comic gets #canceled… or worse

Now Kimmel? This is getting worse and worse
Colbert has been a part of our comedy DNA since we were teenagers. Excited to see what he’ll do next. However, while we’re sometimes undecided when comedians get canceled for saying the wrong things, getting canceled for exposing those in charge? That may be even worse.

All these Marc Maron clips going around… wild how fast comedy friendships can turn into vendettas.
I actually wrote a whole audio drama about that spiral — except mine ends in a murder. Check out @deanskillerjoke.bsky.social to see how it all unfolds

Marc Maron is an absolute ACE!
In this clip, he articulates what “anti-woke” comics have done to our industry (and the Country)

Our writer did one interview and suddenly thinks he’s Marc Maron.
Comedy podcasts “felt like the perfect setup for a whodunnit where comedian suspects can all podcast their different alibis, while also joking about a murder they swear they didn’t commit.”
