Legendary broadcaster and comedian Ron Bennington is turning his chemotherapy treatments into a new kind of comedy podcast.

PORTCAST is recorded from Bennington’s chemotherapy chair as friends including Shane Gillis, Michael Che, Tim Dillon, Jim Norton, Sal Vulcano, Joe List, Gary Gulman, Matteo Lane, Dan Soder, Colin Quinn, Stavros Halkias, David Cross, and Dave Attell sit beside him for candid — and often very funny — conversations about cancer, comedy, friendship, life and death.

The podcast’s name comes from the surgically implanted port used to administer Bennington’s treatment.
