Comedian Felipe Esparza talks with random people he finds interesting. It might be somebody kind of famous or it might be that homeless guy at the end of your street who you walk past every day without saying hello.

We're in the studio this week with rappers Viva Mescal and Mad Macks from the East of the River network (EOTR) - a group of young up and coming artists and musicians, mostly from East L.A. and Boyle Heights. I go way back with Mescal's family from the projects of Boyle Heights. But these guys are working hard to make things happen in their community and beyond. Listen to our interview with them and also Paul Rodriguez calls in to talk about his new play that covers the difficulty of pitching (and getting) a Latino show on TV...

I've known comedian Al Berman since I started comedy. He had come from an east coast upbringing, a NY punk scene and a background of addiction. Came to L.A., got clean, joined the comedy scene. He now still dabbles in comedy and has just started a podcast, his "Sober Man...
MC Pancho and his wife Chamorita dropped by the studio today. He is such an interesting guy with a striking look that is both interesting and intimidating. Started out rapping underground and making mix tapes that ended up blowing up in Japan, then he became a cultural icon - from...

To say this guy knows us from day 1 is an understatement. Martin Moreno has been touring with Gabriel Iglesias for about 12 years now. Before that, we were young comics struggling for years together on hell gigs, bar shows and anything that paid at least $20. We haven't seen...
