A big podcast announcement, more personal growth, the return of desert comedy, and the Mariners front office can't seem to ever get it right.

Desert Talk with Jon Hanford

Cut the Fat

I'm back in the desert after a brief trip up to the Oregon coast. I experienced some big insights and wound up making a big decision that I am proud of myself for making.

Are You Enthusiastic?

This episode begins with a sample from a far-out mandolin jam with a couple old hippie friends last night. I talk about the importance of hanging onto my inner child, my need for a dishwasher, a spontaneous photoshoot, and probably some childhood trauma as well. Thanks for liking and subscribing!

Me Pumping Myself Up

Clancy and I are continuing to bond and I have felt her begin to reshape my worldview. Pretty wild. In the week since her mom was adopted, Clancy has also found a best friend, which has filled the hearts of Joshua Tree tourists and myself alike. We might make merch. Also tried a taco shop that I've somehow been sleeping on for almost two years. This is significant shit. Listen and find out!

Fight to the Kisses

I'm at Essig Park in Yucca Valley, CA, with Clancy in hopes that she rolls around in enough dirt and other dogs' dumps to get the smell of an old lady's perfume out of her coat.

Roberta's Perfume

It's been a tumultuous week on several fronts and I'm talking about it. Also some good came from it too: I found Miracle a forever home and got to jam with a couple old desert hippies over the weekend.

Human Morons

It's the first episode of 2021! I take a look back on what the last year taught me and express gratitude for those lessons despite how challenging they were to endure.

Worthy of Consideration

Wild and Experimental w/ Liz Glazer

A short episode, but I’m back in Austin with a couple exciting announcements!

Dog Park

It's been a weird week to be in such a massive brain fog because I've been doing a lot of different things: delivering for Postmates, getting escorted by an armed guard to get a Covid test, and interviewing to be a contestant on a game show. This episode contains a rant about frosting, so if you're an easily triggered frosting fanatic, perhaps you should find something else to listen to.

Degenerate Day

Kristy Belich and I are coming to you from Austin, TX, where she just moved. I tagged along on the drive out from Southern California and stuck around for three days to feel out the Austin comedy scene and the vibe of the city in general before recording this swapcast and flying back. (Side note: check out THee Fire Wolf Podcast w/ Kristy Belich.) In this episode, we discuss the move to Austin and the journey we went on to get there.

Diva In Neutral w/ Kristy Belich

Jake Bassi is a comic and musician based in Oklahoma City. He joins the podcast this week to share his thoughts and experiences with comedy during the pandemic. We also talk about music, baseball, and things we're working on personally. Check out his podcast, "The Jakeing Off Show."

Mental Push-Ups w/ Jake Bassi

My anticipation of performing in Tulsa, OK, on Thanksgiving reminds me of the time my family had Thanksgiving dinner at 13 Coins near Sea-Tac Airport. This week, I appeared on both Pittsburgh Community TV and the top live podcast in the world, "Kill Tony." I discuss my initial feelings on those things and how I should maybe dial it back on the overthinking.

I'm Not Trying to Celebrate at 13 Coins

The US presidential election has been called and you heard it here first! I give my take and try not to spend too much time on it. More good news, as I just got confirmation I will be on the road in Oklahoma and Texas at the end of the month. I also discuss the role that manifestation has played in my life and how––now that I'm aware of it––I feel like it helps me live fluidly.

A Fun Series of Tangents

It's Halloween and I just returned from Phoenix, AZ, where I performed at a few open mics since California is shut down still. I learned a few things about comedy while there, which I discuss here.

I'm Over Deception

Jon Hanford, a NYC expat living in the Mojave Desert, is on a quest to find sustainable happiness and realize his creative potential through comedy, music, and spontaneity.
