This week, your host Joe Weber has compiled some of his favorite comedy bits from AM1690, The Voice of the Arts in Atlanta. Comedy was always an essential glue that held together the blend of music, short stories, poetry, and other facets of culture that the station explored. This first edition of our Comedy Roundup features readings, clips from some timeless comedy bits and performers, and a first taste of the kind of original sketches and faux-commercials that were created specifically for the station, with some wonderful music choices to tie them all together. Enjoy!
