Tim Wilson
Songs From the SouthFor years comedian, songwriter and philosopher, Tim Wilson has been joining us on the air and in that time has treated us to a number of classic tunes such as My Brother In-Law, I Could Be Wrong and Church League Softball Fistfight. And though he's one of our most frequent guests, it's still an adventure every time he stops by, thanks in part to his uncanny ability to find a story to go along with any topic of conversation. But as a warning, if you're even talking to Tim, try to avoid mentioning The Bible, NASCAR, credit cards or Jimmy Carter. In other news, Tim recently turned author as his new book about Ted Bundy is now on sale. Pick up your copy of Happy New Year - ted today. Robert Schimmel
The One and Only Known as one of the best and most well respected stand-up comedians in the nation, Robert Schimmel has developed a unique style that's frank, funny and extremely blue in nature. However, part of Schimmel's charm comes from his ability to discuss dark and taboo topics that make people laugh and squirm at the same time. He's also not afraid to speak his mind or be open about his real life problems including his heart attack, battle with cancer, and marriage. Many of these subjects are covered in his his new book, Cancer on $5 a Dayand in his recent Showtime Special, Life Since Then, available now on DVD Costaki Economopoulos
Easy For You To SayBack in 1993, Costaki Economopoulos was a man divided. Part of him wanted spend his time honing his skills as a standup while his more practical side urged him to finish his work as a graduate student at the University of Georgia. For the most part, his practical side won out, but once he graduated, the comedian in him took over and Costaki put master's degree to good use by becoming a full-time comic. With his Greek heritage, it's not surprising that he's been described as a “joke philosopher,” and we're sure he's not the only one saying that. Costaki is also a talented joke writer who's punchlines have been heard on "The Tonight Show," BET, and MTV. In other news, he's recently released a new CD, The Economonologe, and he has a daughter with the beautiful and funny comedienne Caroline Rhea.
