Publisher's summary

[Contains explicit content] Sounds Like America is a wild sound collage of the United States as seen by the people who know it best and tell it like it really is: comedians.

Hosted by a rotating cast of seasoned comics, each episode covers a different American pastime, region, city, characteristic, or zeitgeist. The show opens with a host introduction, followed by a sound collage that features stand-up comedy, funny interviews with special guests and folks on the street, and even local music. It’s a hilarious (and sometimes touching) tribute to our complicated country.

When you add Sounds Like America to your library you will receive 21 episodes, each with a runtime of approximately 20 minutes, including the following:

Sports with Roy Wood Jr.
The Midwest with Jackie Kashian
TexaFlorida with Michelle Buteau
America from Abroad with Rob Delaney

Mindless Anti-American drivel posing as comedy.

Felt more like a bland and politically correct commentary of America you’d hear on NPR than an actual comedy show. An incredibly candid moment of honesty at one point in the audiobook where this one guy says comedians are just very sad people floating through life seeking validation. You can hear the biggest moments of applause and adulation from the audiences didn’t come from any actual jokes but from condescending holier-than-thou put downs against ordinary Americans as a bunch racist and xenophobic simpletons. If you want real comedy stay away from this PC garbage and go listen to Kevin Hart, Joe Rogan and Daniel Tosh

Great Lineup

A series of sets having different stories about particular regions of the US. The material is funny, the other reviewers have been
A) An elderly woman
B) A rational fan of a different generation of comics
C) A self-important comment section warrior who seems to have heard a singular joke that hurt his feelings, and then proceeded to go on a tirade.
Give it a listen, form your own opinion. Try and enjoy your day

comedy clift notes of the USofA

A fast humerous, clift note view of the USofA thru the eyes of many stand up comedians.
Since I recently retired, and am currenty making a bottomless bucket list, Traveling around the USofA is pn the list. These humerous views of places add to my bucket.

Lesson learned. No more comedy. I do not think it's funny. I guess Im just too old to find today's comedy entertaining

Excellent companion for new and established artists

I’ve been a professional artist over four decades and served as a USIA Arts Ambassador (State Dept) teaching artists how to succeed as artists. This book includes everything I’ve ever passed along but includes music and writing. It’s a truthful dissertation on the power and responsibility we have with our creations .

What an adventure

At first I thought, I’ve hiked plenty, what’s this kid’s story going to be as a rookie ?

What an adventure!! So well described where I felt I was on the trail with you. I had my own trail name while in this book. I recalled my own trips and the settings to imagine yours.

Thank you for sharing your story.
