"No Restrictions" premieres at noon Thursday on
Sideshow Network. New episodes, a mix of live and studio recordings, will post
every Thursday and will run 45 minutes to an hour.
According to post-gazette.com, "No Restrictions"
is a free download and is available through iTunes, Stitcher and on Mr. Krenn's
website, jimkrenn.com, and at the Sideshow Network site, sideshownetwork.tv.
Sideshow is an online comedy network featuring a large
roster of podcasts, videos and live performances. Mr. Krenn will be in good
company there: Sideshow also offers podcasts from Harry Shearer, George Lopez,
Phil Hendrie and Tommy Chong.
The debut episode was recorded live at Bricolage in front of
a small but highly enthusiastic audience. The conversation is a humorous and
irreverent take on pop culture, items in the news and sports. Recorded skits
and commercials are interwoven into the live portion of the show.
Mr. Krenn will be joined by a crew of regulars every week.
"No Restrictions" is a mix of morning radio and
stand-up comedy -- which is Mr. Krenn's comfort zone: He's a well-known
comedian in the area and was host on the WDVE-FM 102.5 morning team for 24 years,
until Clear Channel Media + Entertainment Pittsburgh ended his contract in
February 2012.
Krenn had to sit out a six-month noncompete clause in his
contract, which ended in September. "It was time after 24 years to reflect
and reinvent," he said. He considered several options, but Sideshow's
national comedy podcast "was the most interesting offer ... . We're a
partner in producing it. There's total creative and artistic freedom."
