Dana Gould is one of those guys who’s name might not ring a bell at first, but you definitely know his work. From stand-up, to TV appearances on The Ben Stiller Show, to his seven years writing on the Simpsons, Dana has done it all when it comes to the world of entertainment. Alicia and I were lucky enough to sit down with Dana to talk about how he launched his comedy career in San Francisco, what the process of writing for The Simpsons is like, and exactly why he has a unique connection to Elvis Costello.

Check out the podcast of the interview below and make sure to catch Dana while he is in town for SF Sketchfest this weekend.
