Never Not Funny (season 1)

The first season of the Never Not Funny podcast featured 60 episodes and first debuted April 4, 2006. The core lineup was Jimmy Pardo, Mike Schmidt and Matt Belknap with occasional guests from the Los Angeles and Chicago comedy scenes. All 60 episodes were initially free and can now be purchased individually or as a whole season at pardcast.com.

The Lost Episodes

Episodes one and two were quickly taken out of the podcast feed as all three hosts were unhappy with the quality of the content. Later they were condensed and edited together as a clip show, episode 117. They are currently available as part of the complete Season 1 package, but not as individual downloads.

The Best of Never Not Funny, Volume One

Midway through season 1 a compilation was made from stories from the first 20 episodes. It was released as Never Not Funny: Volume One, on AST Records. It also featured the full length version of the theme song, "Mad At The World," by Pardo's longtime friend Daver. It is currently the only best-of volume.
