Tangent was developed by Derek Russell and Tucker Colburn of SHoE after literally thousands of emails commenting on the the way they spoke between each other. Every week, they weighed in on what they thought about anything and everything. Each podcast was like walking into the middle of their conversation. Thrown into the mix were hilarious side sketches so we could keep the demographic of our listeners with ADD happy. To seal the deal Derek and Tucker invited a celebrity guest on the show each week to chime in on the topics and tell the listeners about their upcoming endeavors.
Tangent went on hiatus in late May 2007 after it’s successful first run of 7 episodes in order to revamp and rehash new ideas.
In mid-July 2007, Tangent will return with Derek and new host Shane to continue the antics and laughter and as always, go off on a Tangent.
Some celebrity guests who have already spoken with Tangent are:
- Cedric Yarbrough from Reno 911.
- Mike Nelson from MST3K and RiffTrax.com.
- Dana Snyder, voice of Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
- Eric Stolhanske from Broken Lizard
- Don LaFontaine
- MC Chris
- Doug Stanhope
- Jonathan Katz
Tangent is the result of 23 years of planning and procrastination. We hope you enjoy what we have in store!
