(formerly '''''Comedy Death-Ray Radio''''') is a [[week]]ly [[comedy]] [[Sound|audio]] [[podcast]], which originally began [[broadcasting|airing]] as a radio show on May 1, 2009.<ref name="astcdrr">A Special Thing Forums: "[https://web.archive.org/web/20170210052940/http://aspecialthing.com/forum/f42/comedy-death-ray-radio-starts-today-13457/ Comedy Death-Ray Radio starts today!]"</ref> It is hosted by [[comedy writer|writer]] and [[comedian]] [[Scott Aukerman]], best known for his work on the 1990s [[HBO]] [[sketch comedy]] program ''[[Mr. Show with Bob and David]]'', creating and hosting the [[Comedy Bang! Bang! (TV series)|''Comedy Bang! Bang!'' TV series]], as well as for co-founding the weekly ''[[Comedy Death-Ray]]'' stage show at the [[Upright Citizens Brigade Theater]] in [[Hollywood]].
''Comedy Death-Ray Radio'' was formerly broadcast from [[Southern California]]'s [[Indie 103]] studios, but since the summer of 2010 has been broadcast as part of the [[Earwolf]] comedy podcasting network, being recorded in studios owned by the company.
Line 48:
''Comedy Death-Ray Radio'' first aired May 1, 2009, after Aukerman gained permission from Indie 103 to conduct a "one-month tryout". The first episode's guests were [[Rob Huebel]] and [[Thomas Lennon]].<ref name="astcdrr" /> During occasions when Aukerman has been unable to host, [[Paul F. Tompkins]], [[Chris Hardwick]], [[Jimmy Pardo]] or [[Jerry Minor]] (in character as "Cyberthug") have guest hosted. Although normally produced in Los Angeles, the show has also been taped in [[Vancouver]], [[Seattle]], [[New York City]], [[Chicago]] and [[Austin]].<ref name="coldtowne">ColdTowne Theater Blog: "[http://blog.coldtownetheater.com/?p=316 THIS JUST IN!

===Name change===
On the May 15, 2011 "Two-year Anniversary" podcast, Aukerman announced that the show's name was changing to ''Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast.'' He went on to say that the show had evolved a great deal in its first two years, and he credited his wife [[Kulap Vilaysack]] with coming up with the new name.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.earwolf.com/episode/these-times-they-are-a-changin/ |title=These Times They Are A-Changin' |publisher=[[Earwolf]] |date= |accessdate=2013-07-13}}</ref>
===Red Hot Chili Peppers parody===
In episode 204 (which aired on March 4, 2013), "The Pepper Men," guests [[Jon Daly (comedian)|Jon Daly]] and [[Zach Galifianakis]] professed their love for the rock band [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]]. Both claimed to be "huge Pepper Men" and had written a song in tribute to the band titled "Abracadabralifornia", which Daly sang using his best [[Anthony Kiedis]] imitation.
Line 61:
For the first few months of the program, comedian [[Doug Benson]] would semi-regularly call the program and give several "8 Words or Less Movie Reviews".
Occasionally the podcast is taped with a live audience, usually at comedy shows or at festival events. Either way, the podcast is known as "the show where we talk to interesting people."<ref>{{Cite web|url=
In the last third of the show, Aukerman and his guests will often play one of several [[Improvisation|improv]]-style games. The following games have recently been played:
