The Doctor Awesome Show airs each Wednesday on WPVM from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. If you haven’t tuned it yet, you may be missing “the biggest self-absorbed trainwreck” you’ve ever heard.

This week Jason interviews Nick Prueher, writer for The Colbert Report and one co-host (along with Joe Pickett) of The Found Footage Festival, which will be making a stop in Asheville this Saturday as part of their 2008 tour. The Found Footage Festival is a showcase of strange, outrageous and profoundly stupid videos collected over the years by Nick and Joe. Find out what to expect at the show, how many videos are in the collection, what qualifies a video for screening in front of an audience and more.

Stephanie and Jason finally get around to having their wine-tasting, answer listener e-mails, dish out inaccurate and dangerous medical advice, share recipes and jam out to a playlist of all new music this week.

Tune in to this week’s archive:
