Plan B Banger: A Career & Podcast Retrospective w/ Pat McGann & Tom Bambara | Ep. 40

40 days and 40 nights? This podcast hit 40 episodes in under a year. The Lord had other plans for our guest, so we pivoted. Consider this episode an act of faith.

For the milestone episode, producer Tom flips the script and puts Pat in the hot seat for a full career retrospective. From his first open mic at Chicago and Halsted, to hosting at Zanies, getting fired into full-time comedy, and walking out to Pearl Jam at the Ed Sullivan Theater for his Letterman debut. 

The two also look back at 40 episodes of The Pat McGann Show; from a conference room to a real studio, Dwayne Kennedy's philosopher energy, Bill Rancic's pasta, and the time Lio Cundiff babysat Tom’s son after he saved a baby's life. 

Here's to the next 40 — and Dave, if you're reading this, episode 80 is yours.
