A five hour audio sampler of the comedy of Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre.

These are five hour long programs, in no particular order, representing thirty years of Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre. They are loosely - very loosely - themed. They feature Ian Shoales, Dr. Science, and Randee of the Redwoods, among other favorite characters.

They come in two different versions - one with a News Hole at the top, and one without.

(1) Behind the Comedy: Kings of Comedy- This is the self-help episode, with many religious types, shrinks, and experts offering useless advice. Also, Naked People's Court, and a gaggle of public radio satires. More.

(2) Behind the Comedy: The Sweet Stink of Success- Shakespeare parodies, Ian Shoales, Superhero Talk Show, the Transvestite Farmer Association, Minute Mystery, a Conservative Weight Loss Program, and the documentary - Taconite! More.

(3) Behind the Comedy: Road to Glory- This is the money show, featuring several adventures of Denny, In House Psychologist (for Norton Corp), also money saving tips, All Criminal News, shock jocks, and The Brooke Report. More.

(4) Behind the Comedy: A Look Back - This incorporates sketches from live performances, along with audio bits themed around sports, travel, and work. It also contains the longer radio play, Dog Man, about a suburban family man who undergoes a hideous transformation. More.

(5) Behind the Comedy: Out of Iowa - Our Holiday Show! Thanksgiving and Christmas mainly. Though we make every day a holiday. Also a mini-tribute to England, and Randee of the Redwoods. More.
