I was turned on to the wonderful, un-pigeonholeable 2005 film Stephen Tobolowsky’s Birthday Party by none other than the director, Robert Brinkmann, who happens to be a mutual acquaintance of an old friend from San Francisco theater, as well by Tobolowsky himself. I talk a little about STBP in an earlier posting which you can find here.
Fans have been clamoring for more of the big guy, and now in response comes The Tobolowsky Files, a series of videos in which he shares more of his incredible, funny and poignant life stories. For the audio portion of his Halloween tale, click here to listen. You’re in for a (trick or) treat!
Want more Tobolowsky? His hilarious story, “An LSD Christmas”, was published in last year’s winter issue of Cantaraville, which you can read and download at my earlier posting. The editors of Cantaraville are pleased to announce that “An LSD Christmas” was nominated for a Best of the Web award.

Hi,
I helped to create the Tobolowsky Files and it's my voice that you hear at the beginning of the podcast. Instead of duplicating the mp3 file and hosting it elsewhere, could you please link to our site instead?

Directing traffic to our site will ensure that we can actually keep making these episodes. Thanks.
Of course David, I'll change that link now.
