April showers bring MORE DAN POTACKE SHOWS!!!

Join me, Dan Potacke, on Monday, April 5th as I interview JOEL SHANAHAN. You might know him from the band Butt Funnel, or the band Suicide TXT, or the 80 billion other bands he is in. When Joel isn't playing in a show, he's reviewing it as a member of the exciting world of freelance journalism. I'll ask him about all of these things, then I'll run out of questions and we will sit there awkwardly staring at one another.

Also, we'll have comedian Marcos Lara. The only thing bigger than his hair are the laughs generated by his jokes!

Hi, everybody! Dan Potacke here!

I've got another show coming up! This time, I welcome Annie Laurie Gaylor, the Co-President of the Freedom From Religion Foundation and feminist scholar. Annie has spoken in front of academic and social conferences around the world and, for some reason, she's actually agreed to be on this show! Why? I have no idea! But she's a nice lady and I'm glad she's coming.

Note to self: become an expert of both religious and women's studies by next week so I don't ask horribly inadequate questions. Guess I better crack open those books!

Also, we will have the fabulous comedian Mike Schmidt! One time he helped me get some ketchup out of a bottle when I couldn't get any to come out to put on my fries. So feel free to bring any troublesome ketchup bottles, he'll help you out!

It’s time for another Dan Potacke Show! Joining Dan this time around will be Tom Farley. Tom is currently running for a seat on the Madison Metropolitan School Board. He is also the founder of the Chris Farley Foundation, a nationally recognized substance abuse prevention organization named in honor of his late brother, Chris Farley. He is also the co-author of The New York Times bestseller, The Chris Farley Show: A Life in Three Acts. Tom is the first Dan Potacke guest whom has had a book on the NYT bestseller list AND the first guest is who is currently running for public office… wow!

Also, we will have great comedy by Mr. Ryan Casey. Ryan Casey has recently cut his hair shorter which is a really good look for him, he looks sharp. Just imagine if he had a nice pair of slacks to go with it! Ryan Casey: He’s going places! Oh, and he is very funny to boot!

All this and more at The Dan Potacke Show at the Frequency at 6:30 PM on Monday, March 8th. As always, this show has NO COVER and is 21+.

In February 2009... a show began. Few believed it would last longer than a few months but now... one year later... THE DAN POTACKE SHOW THRIVES!

Hi, Dan Potacke here, on February 22nd, I’m throwing The Dan Potacke Show: One Year Anniversary Special. Guests will include Sly from Sly in the Morning on WTDY, rockers The Selfish Gene, and comedian JoAnne Poniatowski.

I’ll look back at the highlights of a great year of talk shows and count the number of times I’ve broken down and cried onstage, I think it’s more than a dozen! Plus: We will introduce a revamped and retrofitted Wheel of Fantasticness, hopefully this time it will be able to spin without falling over and hurting me.

All this and more, at the Frequency 121 W. Main St. on Monday February, 22nd at 6:30 pm! NO COVER!!!!!!!!!!! Be there!

That’s right, on February 8th, the legendary former Madison Mayor Paul Soglin will stop by the Frequency to chat with me about his historic legacy and his current projects. During his terms as Mayor, Soglin’s initiatives helped create and shape many of the things that make Madison great today. Presently, he has returned to his activist roots as he publicly calls out governments and lobbyists on issues ranging from campaign finance to the plowing of city streets. Why is he coming on this show? I have no idea.

Also joining me that night with be comedians Nick Hart and Rochelle Steeno. Nick Hart's comedy is getting better week-by-week as he delivers great jokes including amazing story jokes that can last for minutes but keep audiences enthused the whole way. Rochelle Steeno performs bits that challenge some of the locked forms of modern comedy, she's also very funny.

Fun fact, I believe Paul Soglin is the first Dan Potacke guest who has met Fidel Castro. Maybe Comedian Nick Hart met Fidel Castro once, I’ll have to check on that.
