Exactly!

Jason Pargin, aka David Wong, is the main reason I listen to (and yes, re-listen) the Cracked podcast. I have recommended some of his articles to many folks over the years for it's insightful content, and occasionally revisit them myself. It's literally a case of "come for the jokes, stay for the insightfulness".

Sadly I never really got into his comedy horror books (even though I own one or two). But Pargin has said so many insightful things that are meaningful to me and my psyche, I have once asked him to compile these things into a genuine self-help book. But the man's to humble, I recall he essentially said that there are likely people better suited to do this.

I knew of his new ventures, glad he's still going strong, and yes, of course I do listen to 1-900 with him (as guest) and the incredibly funny Seanbaby. But thanks so much for mentioning it!

Yes, I never got into his comedy horror books either. But I buy every single one because he's contributed ENDLESS hours of engaging entertainment for me, and the books are the only way I can give him money.
