Wow. The artists listed are just the tip of the iceberg. So many to choose from, I don't know where to start!

These are really great. I'm on the fence about the animation, but I'm loving the interviews.
The Carol Burnett one is quite moving.
And I've never been a huge Janis Joplin fan but that interview sort of humanized her for me; she's sort of proud and insecure at the same time.
Going to listen to more.

Awesome sauce, but I was disappointed that I couldn't fold the Al Jaffee one to make a totally different interview. (You'd get that joke if you're truly MAD!)

Oh how fabulous, I can't wait to check these out. And wow, they used my photo of Pete Seeger for his interview! That's a nice way to start the day.

Am I the only one that saw the domain name and wanted it to be the first post-racial porn site?
