It will feature a round-robin of over twenty all-star comedy guests and stream live at http://pardcast.com/ from the ACME Theatre in Los Angeles led by  Pardo and his co-hosts Matt Belknap and Pat Francis. So far, Pardcast-a-thon has raised over 55,000 dollars for The Smile Train.

It was nominated for a 2006 Weblog Award, a 2007 Podcast Award in the Comedy category and has won a 2008 Rooftop Comedy Award for best Comedy podcast. It was named an Editor’s Pick by Esquire Magazine and “The #1 Relatively Obscure Thing You Need to Be Paying Attention To” by GQ.
