Piece Description

"Schadenfreude" is WBEZ-FM Chicago Public Radio's sound-rich, experimental comedy program. It currently airs Saturday afternoons on Chicago Public Radio. The show is the brainchild of CPR general manager Torey Malatia and the critically-acclaimed comedy ensemble, Schadenfreude. ==== In this episode... When is a diner just a diner? And when is a francheesie just a francheesie? Join Schadenfreude as we ensconce ourselves in the world of booths, bright neon, and all-day breakfast. We stalk Glass. We talk smack. We buy the diner, then rebuild it. One diner. One half-hour. About eight sketches. Schadenfreude—Can I top that off for ya?

Aired on Chicago Public Radio in 2004 and 2005
