Brian Scolaro's Comedy Podcast "A Complete Waste of Time" Comes to XM

Handheld Comedy signs distribution agreement with XM Satellite Radio for popular comedy podcast.

Tampa, FL (PRWeb) January 31, 2007 -- Brian Scolaro's "A Complete Waste of Time," the popular podcast launched on The Handheld Comedy Network (www.handheldcomedy.com) just four months ago, is now airing on XM's flagship comedy channel, XM Comedy (XM150). XM is the nation's leading satellite radio service with more than 7.6 million subscribers. XM Comedy offers the world's first uncensored programming and is one of XM's most popular channels.

Written and hosted by Scolaro and his zany cast of characters, the short-form program purports to take on serious issues of the day, but never gets the job done.

"Fans love this show. It's five minutes of craziness delivered with superb timing. Of the eight comedy shows we produce, 'A Complete Waste of Time' gets the most quantity and quality of listener comments," said Mike Siewruk, Handheld Comedy CEO. "When we launched our podcast comedy network we fully expected to develop some 'hits' and get mainstream media attention, but doing it this quickly is a very pleasant surprise."

"Brian Scolaro and his sidekicks are breaking new ground with 'A Complete Waste of Time.' It's 'The Kids in the Hall' meets 'The Aristocrats' on radio," said Sonny Fox, program director of XM Comedy.

'A Complete Waste of Time' will air throughout the day on XM Comedy.
