Yep, from the Ancient Greeks to New York City stand up geeks, it's THE REAL history of comedy with Rome and Shakespeare in-between (did you realize the extent to which Plautus and Terence influenced… well… EVERYTHING that came afterward?). AR+IO abbreviates the motto "Active Research and Informed Opinion", providing consistent numbering for all of the episodes (AR+IO-001, etc.) hosted by Eisel Mazard across many different podcasts, and united by one Patreon. Eisel is better known as Zel from Ashdod, formerly known as the voice (and author) behind the (banned) youtube channel à-bas-le-ciel.

Comedy Writing for Late-Night TV by Joe Toplyn: a Book Review

Writing for a cluster of news commentary comedy shows in New York City remains one of the few viable options to earn a living in comedy this century, with the cinema revenues in a state of utter collapse and all forms of television broadcasting in decline (digital or conventional: even Netflix and Disney+, not just cable TV is now in decline). Joe Toplyn's book is in some ways a set of reflections on a period of history now coming to an end, and it is also practical advice on what you can do with your own career, before it's over.
