I tell stories from the heart, not the script. After getting fired from the credit union for posting a link to my Christmas show, PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON, YOU'RE IN MIDDLETON NOW, to our company intranet, I decided to do this instead of spending all my time looking for the next full time job in customer service. Why even get a job? I sold my IT business after 23 years, isn't that long enough? No. I post articles on LinkedIn that bring value to no one, and stories on my website, lbkatz.com. Also no value. Maybe podcasting is where to be. I guess we'll find out.

Mark Watson is not only a fantastic stand-up comedian, but he may also be the best chance we have to overcome sin. He's got a plan to teach us everything we need to know about the Six Deadly Sins (he knows it's usually seven, but he's doing Greed and Gluttony together as a special offer). In the second series, Mark turns his attention to the Six Virtues, guiding us through Courage, Patience, Generosity, Honesty, Diligence, and Humility. Mark Watson Makes the World Substantially Better is a mixture of stand-up, sketches and songs.

Versatile actor/comedian Jack Benny had a long career (1911-1974) and was truly a star of stage, screen, and radio. Recognized as a leading 20th-century American entertainer, Benny often portrayed his character as a miser, playing violin poorly, and claiming to be no older than 39, regardless of his actual age. His radio and television programs, popular from 1932 until his death in 1974, were a major contribution to the sitcom genre. We’ve carefully chosen 11 radio episodes starring Jack Benny from our master archives for this collection.

Before the guests, the games, and the chaos— this is where it all began. Join Tim and Jordan for a spontaneous, slightly unhinged origin story of No Notes: the podcast that accidentally won $40K, defies genre, and promises zero chill but all heart. No scripts. No filter. No rules. Just two best friends, a microphone, and one very confused sound engineer.
