And now for something completely different! This week, we’re celebrating the work of Monty Python. One of the most influential sketch groups of all time.

Together the group made some of the most unforgettable comedy of all time. Monty Python’s Flying Circus, The Holy Grail, The Life of Brian, The Meaning of Life and more. When the troupe more or less broke up in the ’70s, the members went on to produce countless more unforgettable projects.

This special episode features interviews from four of the founding members of Monty Python including Terry Jones, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam and Eric Idle.
