Episode 68: Miscellany Business (featuring Trav S.D.)
With Marxfest around the corner, friend of the show Trav S.D. thought it might be a good time to publish his many ideas about the Marx Brothers in book form. Meanwhile, with Marxfest around the corner, Marx Brothers Council Podcast creators Bob Gassel, Matthew Coniam, and Noah Diamond thought it might be a good time to have Trav S.D. back on the show (his last appearance: Episode 14!) to talk about his new book, The Marx Brothers Miscellany, just out from BearManor Media. How could a wild coincidence like this possibly take place? I’ll tell you how — miscellany!

Recording Episode 68
Official description: “The Marx Brothers Miscellany is not only the name of a new book by our guest Trav S.D., it also describes this episode. We engage in a free-flowing discussion of numerous Marx topics, including their Vaudeville roots, how Gummo’s place in the team differed from Zeppo’s, and whether the Marxes were the greatest comedy team.
“We also discuss the Algonquin Round Table’s place in Marx lore, and Trav details how he helped Noah bring I’ll Say She Is back to life in 2014.”
Note for early birds: When a new episode is released, it might not appear at all of the locations below right away. If you visit your favorite podcast provider and the previous episode is still the most recent one you see there, be patient! And above all, don't worry.
