Comedy Mainline
The Comedy Mainline podcast (formerly Writer’s Block) is hosted by comedian Steve Gillespie (CONAN) and Robert Baril (HELIUM RECORDS) and features the Legend Chris Maddock. Each week, the boys open up their phone lines and take calls from famous comedians, fans, enemies, secret-lovers, dead celebrities, made-up characters, and anyone and everyone that finds their number, within the zany world of ‘The Mainline.” The show is centered around comedy, with conversations that are unscripted and freewheeling, with some of the funniest minds in the business. Hop on the line, you never know who is going to call in!
