The Letterman Podcast

This week’s guest is the host of the Daily Comedy News podcast, Johnny Mack. Johnny, whose full name is John McDermott, is a veteran in broadcasting whose career has spanned decades both in the studio and behind the scenes.

After his lengthy time in terrestrial radio, John was brought on board Sirius Satellite Radio during its infancy and was given the formidable task of building out and producing its comedy channels. John and Mike have a fantastic conversation spanning much of McDermott’s career, talking about how comedy has changed, the origin of the Daily Comedy News podcast, and of course, the massive influence David Letterman had on John and so many other broadcasters.

They also talk about why Letterman’s name appeared in a very recent episode of Daily Comedy News.
