The Culture Report was a charming, unfunded, ungraded student comedy effort that arose organically at Louisiana State University in the early 1980s. Its 20- to 30-minute compilations of taped radio comedy sketches aired weekly, on Thursday nights at 9:30. We met on Tuesday nights to plan the show and regularly put in an all-nighter on Wednesday nights to record it. I wrote some 100 or so sketches for that show over three semesters and performed in many others.

These few samplings offer some of the sketches I wrote (and one written by Michael Chambers -- "Spiked Heels"). Because they don't reflect the natural mixture of different comedic voices, these sketches don't really capture the original feel of the show, but hopefully they offer some small glimpse of the silliness endemic to the effort.

The show evolved from an original, one-man show by a then-WPRG student DJ into a full-fledged weekly sketch comedy half-hour (or so). Writers and performers of the Culture Report radio comedy show during my stint included: Steve Carleton, Michael Dean Chambers, Kim Coleman, Jeff DeMouy, Nicole Guerrin, John Moranski, Ed Mosley, Burk Murray, Theresa Regan, David Saia, Dan Sonnier, and John Wohlbruck, with occasional guest voices (Joy Sonnier, Eugene Benoit, and many others) and contributors and with the generous sound-engineering help of kind volunteers, primarily Mike... something (if you know, please email me, and I'll add it! .
