Into Your Head is a uniquely absurd stream of conciousness comedy monologue podcast. When dry witted Irishman, acquired taste underachieving hobbiest humourist, socially awkward entirely unheard-of legally blind cat obsessive and husband Neal O’Carroll downs a generic energy drink, something reasonably interesting happens. There emerges a silver tongued* purveyor of comical monologues, absurd analogies, illogical yet impressively argued opinions and copious Two Cats walk into a Bar stories. Segments begin with no idea how the first sentence will end, or what topics may emerge. A ludicrious creative method inspired partly by radio’s Just a Minute. In the far future?
