Our Editor's Take

The Bonfire with Big Jay Oakerson and Dan Soder brings listeners an abundance of laughs. Those who follow comedy are sure to be familiar with the two hosts of the program.

Jay Oakerson has been touring as a headliner for well over a decade. He previously appeared on Comedy Central's Premium Blend and This is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir. Oakerson also cohosts the Legion of Skanks podcast with Luis J. Gomez and Dave Smith. In 2016, his first special, Jay Oakerson: Live at Webster Hall, debuted on Comedy Central.

Dan Soder is another comic who headlines at comedy clubs around the United States. He released his first one-hour comedy special, Dan Soder: Not Special, in 2016. It aired on Comedy Central. His second special, Dan Soder: Son of a Gary, premiered in 2019 on HBO.

And it's not only Oakerson and Soder who keep listeners laughing here. As two of the biggest comedians in the industry, they've got a lot of funny friends who often join the podcast. That means appearances from comedians like Jessica Kirson and Joe DeRosa. Shane Gillis has also shown up. The Bonfire with Big Jay Oakerson and Dan Soder regularly releases episodes on Amazon Music.
