Right Now, a web series that centered around John Goblikon, the former life insurance sales goblin turned lead singer of metal band Nekrogoblikon, is moving into podcasting.
After four seasons as a web series, the show will now become a podcast, launching on October 1.
The podcast sees Goblikon interview stars such as Andrew Santino, Pete Holmes and Adam Pally in character. The web series featured the likes of Workaholics’ Blake Anderson, Comedy Bang Bang’s Reggie Watts, Bad Friends’ Bobby Lee, If You Didn’t Want Me Then’s Beth Stelling and musicians such as Fall Out Boy’s Joe Trohman and Limp Bizkit’s Wes Borland.
Goblikon is the lead singer of Nekrogoblikon, a death metal band that echoes GWAR and which has toured with Limp Bizkit, Dethklok, Dragonforce and Gwar.
