In this interview I talk to Brian Burton and Charlie Cusumano about their comedy partnership known as Two Guys Talking.  I think we all had a lot of fun, and we hope you enjoy it, too.  Thank you for listening.

Brian Burton and Charlie Cusumano created a comedy series in the late 1980s called Two Guys Talking.  In this series they talk about... nothing much, but it is very funny in a very deadpan way.  Hopefully I am doing it justice.  These are the recordings, in order, restored from glorious cassette tape archiving.
