Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

I agree with Marc. I would watch a show about Kathleen and Lewis just being together. Doesn't really matter what they're doing.

Doctors -- who happened to be in the audience -- rushed on stage and straightened out Gallagher's arms ... and waited by his side until the ambulance arrived.

I have lost and gained respect for doctors over the course of sentence.

I just listened to the Mike DiStefano one last night (because I'm catching up in order and it just happened to be appropriate timing more than anything) and fucking hell that dude had a life. Absolute essential listening for anyone.

So sad.

(also how he snuck away from Monday Night Football at Shatner's when Rush Limbaugh turned up bcz he couldn't trust himself to be polite and respect Bill's hospitality, and for the rest of the year Shatner would fuck with him: "Henry! I think Rush Limbaugh might be... behind that -- potted plant!")

This makes me really want Shatner on WTF.

Catching up on Nerdist and the Billy West episode is astonishingly great.

Paul Reubens on CDR is great

Yeah, I loved that one.

I'm enjoying the Michael Ian Black and Tom Cavanaugh podcast "Mike & Tom Eat Snacks"

I'm distracted entirely by the interviewer. Am I alone in immediately not being able to stand him?

I found it weird in that Nerdist interview with John Oliver that no one mentioned The Bugle until the very end when an audience member asked about it & the Nerdist chumps sounded like they'd never heard of it.

xpost I like the interviewer's schtick there. I watched and enjoyed it.

I like Alex Blagg but I'm tired of his "strat" character.

if he's going to do "clueless media jagoff" he could take it a lot further

xpost...so the interviewer was doing a character?

Alex Blagg is alright, but I want the shoes he was wearing for this interview.

Yeah, shoes were p tight

I have been really loving Who Charted.

listened to the Gallagher WTF last night and boy, what a dickhead.

what a creepy, disconnected from human interaction, person (was my reaction)

maron is going to be here this weekend, do i go?

also this week's podcasts seem promising (joe rogan and michael showalter).

You should go. I've seen him twice, once in Sac and once in SF and enjoyed both shows. There's a little bit of crossover with the podcast and his standup, but not much...def worth seeing imo

And if there's any crowdwork, double bonus: he's really good at it.

I'm going Saturday! (you're in Madison I presume)

yup. i'll see if i can convince my gf to go (might be a tough sell).

feelin kind of burned out on WTF. i realize he has this narrative about "i used to be jealous of you, but now that we talk, i realize we're very similar" but like every episode is the same and it's starting to seem forced. also when he has preconceived notions about a guest, he sticks to those notions; he doesn't always listen to what the guests have to say and adjust accordingly. this really stuck out to me in the new joe rogan interview, he gets stuck on this "you were into martial arts, you must view comedy as competition" thing and won't let go of it even after rogan disagrees with the point a few times.

latest ep of comedy death ray w/adam scott and "alan rickman" was dadaist nuttiness in the extreme.

really into comedy death ray these days. the character bob ducca, scott's ex-stepfather, consistently makes me cry from laughing

i recommend the "bob ducca - list of ailments" clip on this page: http://www.earwolf.com/show/comedy-death-ray-radio-scott-aukerman

bob ducca is fantastic

was just thinking about this this morning and Maron could be better about getting out of the way of the interviewees HOWEVER, the Bobby Slayton ep was great and the show is great often enough that I'm hanging on

loved the Slayton interview

Not feeling Rogan but I dont like him that much to begin with. I always had a niggling feeling that he hides behind his nice guy thing,,, not based on anything, just me being irrational

Also, Conan + Showalter coming up -- so that's really exciting

i guess this is duuh but maron is so much better with people that he already knows personally. he flounders a lot more with younger comedians.

Like, if 50% of the interviews are duds that's still a really high hit ratio. Bobby Slayton was great -- I enjoyed the Carolla one (even tho Maron didn't really let him do his thing -- sometimes I feel like maybe he's too worried about mediating less-than-PC elements of his guests), Paul Tompkins was enjoyable, Dino was all time classic I felt (and it totally turned me on to Morel Oral and Frankenhole) um that Gallagher interview was only a few months ago. So what if Lewis Black's girlfriend was boring? Something better is always on the horizon!

Maron and PFT are both coming across the planet to Australia next month and only doing one city, boooo

Kathleen Madigan wasn't boring! xp

I enjoyed the Carolla one (even tho Maron didn't really let him do his thing

what? i felt like maron let carolla ramble the whole time?

See, here's the thing about that.

I guess I meant re: Carolla that it turns out Maron isn't Dr. Drew and I had forgotten that Carolla was only ever interesting with Dr. Drew in the room

man i wish i new about comedy death ray sooner, i was up all last night working on school shit & i plowed through several eps. bob ducca is the hardest i've laughed at a podcast ever maybe?

i am rather enjoying stop podcasting yourself, and my brother my brother & me both part of MaxFun but without Thorn on them if you don't like him (personally I think he's alright). he's also on judge john hodgman but in a minor role, and more john hodgman in my life is always acceptable. thrilling adventure hour is wonderful.

i want a fighting talk style "game" show podcast about things other than being a dick and soccer. maybe i should start a podcast. need more than just dudes talking sometimes.

After listening to the Carolla episode, I'm pretty sure I'd rather hang out with Gallagher.

carolla was such an asshole. i don't know why but, even tho i never liked him, i always kind of gave him a pass. he always seemed too aware for his shtick to be anything more than shtick. but when he was talking through his "thought process" regarding race and basically he is just long form describing racism 101...too much. when he was talking about how he's not sexist because he never hit a woman, and he's not racist because he never fired a black guy, i figured it HAD to be a gag, but apparently not.

I also need some gaming podcasts to hear

Yeah I like Carrolla when he talks about movies, or stupid shit ppl do when theyre renovating, or all the Love Line stuff...but on women and race he just needs to stfu. Way too simplistic, drives me bananas.

I did find him interesting on Maron, all that being said, esp his family and his Mum, etc.

yeah and the whole not hitting a woman = not sexist was O_o
Um, I dont think that is quite the definition to hang your hat on, Adam

Saturday show in Madison is apparently sold out, think I'll go Thursday?

DO IT (in Maron voice)

POW!
