2000 Miles From the Totem Pole

Join Robert T Sutherland and his brother, known on air as Cat Collins, for 2000 Miles From the Totem Pole, a comedy podcast built on the chaotic, unscripted energy of sibling improvisation. Recorded with a continent between them, each episode is a spontaneous conversation where no topic is off-limits and every observation is fuel for laughter. The dynamic is less a structured interview and more like eavesdropping on a late-night phone call between two people who share a deep, often absurd, shorthand. You’ll hear them riff on daily life, dissect pop culture oddities, revisit shared memories with questionable accuracy, and generally find the humor in the mundane and the bizarre alike. The charm of this podcast lies in its raw, unrehearsed flow-a genuine comedic partnership where the digressions are often the main event. Tune in for the feeling of hanging out with quick-witted friends who are guaranteed to make you chuckle, precisely because they’re cracking themselves up first. It’s a celebration of conversation itself, proving that the funniest moments often arise from simply talking, especially when you’re two thousand miles from your usual totem pole.
