I asked Leo
In a recent hunt for guest-hosts for the show, I had a crazy idea. Why shoot for the moon when you can shoot for the stars?
I asked Leo Laporte to guest-host Nobody’s Listening.
Hello Mr. Leo,
I’d like to invite you to guest-host Nobody’s Listening Pocast. NLCast is a comedy show where we share funny true-life stories and invite others to do the same. NLCast is an iTunes featured comedy podcast. Celebrating 1 year and 50 episodes Dec 31st.
It goes without saying that it would be an honor. I had to ask.
Guest-hosting would entail sharing a Weekly Update–a funny happening from the past 7 days–and telling the Featured Story–a funny true-life story from your past.
Thank you for your consideration.
James
Yesterday I got the following response:
Hi this is Mara. Leo has hired me to help answer his email.
Thanks for the invitation. I’ll pass it along to Leo!
Thanks for listening…. and writing!
Mara (for Leo)
I’m not holding my breath… but how cool would it be if he took pity on this little old podcast? Pretty darned.



If you got Leo on the show that would simply be amazing! He is one of my heroes and he is also just has a great presence.
Dude, this would be so cool. Leo, is my hero. He is amazing. Good luck.
Don’t hold your breath though. As much as I like Leo, he’s notoriously busy. I listen to some of his podcasts and he’s admitted more times than I can count that he gets so much email – he just doesn’t read it anymore.
But… I’m not giving up hope – it would be very cool to have him on.
Good thinking!
I’m not holding anything… except to a hope that this little podcast that could would get this man to tell a funny story!
Don’t consider your podcast little… when it’s playing on my iPod – it’s the only thing I’m listening to.
Leo would be a great guest, his radio program is a hoot.
Dude, that would be awesome. Imagine if he did that…he could mention you on his show, and thus–Expansion!! He could advertise your show…how cool would that be?
That would get oh so many listeners or fans.
Yeah but honestly… though that’s a side effect… I really would just love to have him on.
And i don’t even know who this man is…so yeah hopefully he’ll be on…cause i don’t really know anything about him…So shoot for pluto…
I only know him from G4. He had that tech show…can’t recall the name, but I remember seeing him. It was a good show from what I remember. I don’t think it comes on anymore though…or at least I haven’t noticed it.
The name is familiar, but I can’t place it either. So who is this nobody? He should be grovveling to be on your fine show.
man, you should totally try to get Adam Savage…
or James Earl Jones.
