FEAST OF FOOLS PODCAST CELEBRATES 300 EPISODES WITH COMEDIAN MARGARET CHO'S PODCASTING DEBUT.

CHICAGO, IL (May 1) - The Feast of Fools podcast celebrates 300 episodes with Margaret Cho, comedy heroine, freedom fighter and podcast rookie.

Continuing to set records while entertaining a worldwide audience the Feast of Fools podcast delivers five days a week an impressive assortment of zany discussions, offbeat news reports, somewhat sage advice, cocktail recipes and celebrity interviews such as the 300th episode talk with Cho.

Cho made her podcast debut in an exclusive in-depth interview on the Feast of Fools show May 1. On the program hosts Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion interview Cho about her comedy, her writing process, her family, her outspokenness on stage, and her shyness offstage.

In the mid-1990s Cho, like comics Ellen DeGeneres, Tim Allen, Jerry Seinfeld, Rosanne and Drew Carey, transformed her comedy act into a sitcom with "All American Girl" on ABC. Not typically known for being Prime Time safe, Cho's comments about the Bush administration at a Moveon.org political rally saying "Laura Bush's pussy tastes like Lysol" have made her the focus of an intense conservative backlash.
