We hope you liked our bonus episode on Monday and let us know here or on social media if that’s a format you’d like us to keep on doing.</p> <p>Today on the Comedy Cast we’re joined by American stand-up comedian Ashley Sanders, English band False Heads and myself and Seamus we speak about the controversy about Louis CK returning to stand-up comedy and George Carlin is our Legend of Comedy.</p> <p>We kick off the podcast with our interview with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WhosThis12/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ashley Sanders</a>. Ashley is a stand-up comedian from Florida and has been on the scene there for a few years now. She also runs a fantastic podcast called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WhosThis12/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Who’s This</a>, a podcast where she conducts longform interview with people from all walks of life involved in all kinds of different stratospheres.</p> <h3>Funny Podcasts</h3> <p>Next up on the podcast we speak about Louis CK’s return to stand-up comedy. We go deep on the story behind the story here and speak about the issue of consent and forced consent. Sure Louis has apologised, but still, there’s still something that feels very wrong about the whole thing. We won’t get into it here but we speak at length about it and we’d like to know your thought to, so don’t be shy about emailing in or getting in touch on social media.</p> <h3>False Heads</h3> <p>Luke Griffiths of False Heads joins us there for our music interview. False Heads are an English three piece who have been making waves since the release of their first EP, Gutter Press last year. They’re a fantastic band who are pretty difficult to pigeon hole, taking influences from punk to mod, from doom to guitar pop. They’re one of the most exciting bands to come out of England in quite a while and they’re destined for big things. Getting them on the show at this point in their career is something special.</p> <p>Luke and Spud speak about False Heads’ influences, their songwriting process and how they dealt with the added pressure of being labelled “the future of Rock and Roll”.</p> <h3>Legend of Comedy, George Carlin</h3> <p>George Dennis Patrick Carlin was born on May 12th 1937.     Our Irish listeners will of course know that his father was Count Donegal and his mother was the daughter of Irish emigrants to America. Their marriage wasn’t a happy one though and they separated only two months after wee George was born, his father’s alcoholism being the problem.</p> <p>Raised Catholic by his mother, George Carlin was in and out of school over the years, as in he was kicked out of a couple along the way for his behaviour and in his own words was raised on the mean streets of White Harlem. Morningside Heights, didn’t have the same ring to it but White Harlem gives a more appropriate picture of a tough neighborhood of Irish, Italian, Polish immigrants, poor white Europeans basically.<img class="alignright size-"></p>
