2018/02/22

Anthony Devito! One of our favorite storytellers, a man who has been featured on This American Life, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert & Comedy Central, and who — more on topic for us — made future NFL players laugh at the University of Miami before bailing on his architecture major to do this for...

College Stories ·

2018/01/25

SPECIAL EP. 100: This is the ultimate college story for our hosts: it’s the origin story of the College Stories podcast.

College Stories ·

2017/12/14

Mike Cannon is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet who also has insane stories about doing steroids. Mike played college basketball at Rockland Community College where he was point guard/artificially enhanced enforcer, and then he *almost* played at SUNY Geneseo. Mike made his money in college playing underground poker games in New York...

#98: “Shoplifting & Marc Summers” w/ Asterios...

2017/10/05

Asterios blew the fuckin’ doors off the show in episode #98. We start with a Marc Summers (of Double Dare!) college story, and end with a little shoplifting. Asterios is a comedian, comedy writer, and part-time ass-kicker of bigots on Reddit (our description, not his). He has an insane amount of stories, and we begin with when Asterios’s...

College Stories ·

2017/09/21

We’ve double-checked, and it’s confirmed Greg Burmeister is the first guest we’ve had whose college experience included a 4-day coma. The man is a party machine (although that is NOT what led to his coma!) and his college experience was less of the campus life, and more of the rock & roll life. Greg played...

He takes us through his transition from recruited college athlete to his...

#95: “Why Aren’t I Dead?!” w/ Mara Marek (host “Happy...

College Stories ·

2017/07/06

Usually, we write a notable fact about the guest’s “college story” here. But for Mara Marek, all you need to know is that her life is NUTS. She’s had about 8 full lives, and she has no idea why she’s not dead. A rundown: she somehow went to college BEFORE she was done with high...

#94: “Dropping out = $$$” w/ Cliff Cash (comedian)

College Stories ·

2017/06/29

Cliff Cash is a very funny, unique comic who dropped out of college and made a bunch of money real fast. Like Bill Gates! Then, well, things got weird. But it was a baller couple years! He also started college at the top — had a private dorm room and a fake ID immediately, and...

Georgetown’s Joe Gerics describes in great detail their beef with Syracuse, we talk about the shock of people in college who are incredibly comfortable being naked in public, moms who do your college applications for you, and how to say “King of Cocksucker” in German, and a few other foreign language swears. Joe was also...

College Stories ·

2017/02/23

Harvard’s Alyssa Wolff has one big thing in common with Ball State’s Kevin: drunk Halloween college fights.

That wasn’t her biggest hit: she also crashed into a very important person’s...

#90: Deleted Scenes #4

College Stories ·

2017/01/12

It’s another deleted scenes episode! Sometimes, our guests have TOO much good stuff, and when that happens, we collect the tangents, and off-the-rails stories, and put them in a big grab bag of fun, and call ’em “Deleted Scenes.” On today’s episode #90: comedian/writer Steve O’Brien (original ep #72), MTV/VH1 producer Kim Reynolds (#74), director...

College Stories ·

2016/12/02

Nick Blake survived the celebration of the Red Sox championship in 2004 (barely), and eventually things got even better: he met the girl who he’d marry, and he brought her back to campus to propose in a super college-y way. In this mini-episode that’s a follow-up to Nick’s epic story from #85, we also talk...
