Nest of Vipers
Cultural chitchat for know-it-alls, ne'er-do-wells and nattering nabobs everywhere. Like the unholy coupling of FRESH AIR and THE BEST DAMN SPORTS SHOW, NEST OF VIPERS is smart, funny, and irreverent. Each episode features the rantings, ravings and erudite patter of independent musicians, filmmakers, writers and comedians holding court on cultural topics of the utmost importance. Hosted by San Francisco independent filmmaker Danny Plotnick.
