About
WHO
Hello! My name is Bill Corbett and I'm one of the RiffTrax guys, and I was also a writer and performer (Crow / Brain Guy) on MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000.
WHAT
I have a new podcast called BILL CORBETT'S FUNHOUSE and so far it has been an absolute blast to do. Along with my crew of regular cohosts and occasional guests, we discuss what's going on in the world and chat about entertainment and culture (mainstream and super-obscure; old and new). Then towards the end of each show we give our best advice to listeners who write in with their personal problems and challenges. It might not be good advice per se but it's our best, dammit.
We don't mind being serious when it fits, but always keep it fun and lively. Since most of us work in comedy the jokes are many, the dumbness is ever-present, and the smartassery flows like cheap Trader Joe's wine.
WHY
I've personally been paying my crew, guests and contributors for each episode since we started a couple of months ago. It's important to me as a matter of principle that the awesome people who add entertainment, enlightenment, and technical skill to my podcast earn something besides my appreciation -- though they will always get that too!
I want to keep paying my cohosts and guests, and pay them more if I can. As much as i'd love to be in the position to keep doing that indefinitely by myself, I can't without eventually having to drive an Uber, or sell my plasma, or sell my plasma to Uber. I also wouldn't complain if I got a little dough for producing this show, but it wouldn't take much to make me happy. I'm humble as hell.
In addition to paying people, I'd love to raise the technical game of my show. I'd like to add more audio and music that enhances what we're talking about. I'd like to maintain a website for the show that catalogues the stuff we talk about -- including links to anything pertinent, e.g. movies, books or music we discuss -- AND has info on guests and any upcoming live appearances. Oh yes, we want to do live appearances.
SO!
Any help you can give us will be so appreciated. Thank you very much!
your pal,
Bill
