Guest: Samson Davis (me) We I talk about: my schwantz and other problems Here’s my 9th time doing stand-up. It’s at my favorite spot, the Brody Theater. Anatoli Brant gives me a funny intro and, if you listen real close, you can hear Jen Tam give me her iconic “yeah, dawg” as I come offstage. […]
Robin Williams has been like an older, funnier brother or the best of all uncles for my entire life…someone that I could check-in on and be revived with joy whenever I needed it. The world seems weaker and less interesting without him…but, thanks to him, we’ll always have his work to lift us up, to […]

This is a tribute to a sadly forgotten early 20th century bandleader. A lyrical genius, Harry Roy had a long, interesting career. The most surprising thing about him, though, is how he became even more interesting after he passed away. Click the play button to listen: …just in case the audio player is not visible […]
I’ve been gone for a while. It sucks. Here I am again, trying to get back to form with a little ‘minisode’. Maybe you don’t think size matters. If you like it, tell me…and your face. Click the play button to listen: …just in case the audio player is not visible on your device, don’t […]
…just in case you’re interested… The WordPress team prepared a 2013 annual report for this site. It’s kind of interesting (if you want to know stuff about who is listening with you & where they’re from): Click the following link for all of the graphic-y goodness: The 2013 Annual Report for ‘portlandians’ Hey folks! I’d […]
If you know this story: Yes, maybe I am piling-on…but I promise it is with with my own, specific take (on two separate issues). If you don’t know this story because you don’t care about football: Don’t worry, there’s no football talk here…just social commentary. Click the play button to listen: Just in case the […]
This is not what I expected from Cuban radio, but I should have. It’s eclectic, interesting and devoid of ads (Cuba has no advertising…radio, TV, billboards…you name it). This is what radio was like in the US before Clear Channel & their corporate chums began trying to sterilize our minds for profit. You’ll probably get […]
I waited so long. I’m so glad I finally got to hear this: –Ask Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots. “I get to meet a lot of people in my life,” Kraft says. “But I’ve never met anyone quite like Sam. I love the kid.” Sam has progeria, which ages him at eight […]
You’ll probably get a lot more out of this series if you’re fluent in Spanish, but I know almost none and I love it. I bet you will, too. Throw this in your iTunes for something completely different. It starts with us jumping right into the middle of a radio theater piece with […]
–FOLLOW-UP (06.15.2013)– This post has been altered from it’s original state due to a threatening letter received from my employer’s law firm and my lack of financial ability to defend my rights as a citizen. After 2 1/2 months of broken promises, endless delays & disrespectful treatment, I was at the end of my […]
While everything was going on in Boston, PSY was debuting the video for “Gentleman” on Youtube. It seems like the song features the same music & melody as the last song, but maybe it’s because I don’t care. The part I thought WAS interesting is that he is wearing pants that are a cross between: […]
That line (“Boston, you’re my home”), from the song “Dirty Water” by The Standells is on my mind tonight. I grew up in New Hampshire (“the Shire” if you’re not from there & want to make an ‘annoying-to-decent’ joke). I know it’s not in Boston, or even Massachusetts, if you paid attention in geography class…or […]
