Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

it's not a vodcast if I can't put it on my pod and do housework, but instead have to sit in front of a buffering computer for two hours

I'm still not sure if I like Professor Blastoff but they've got Nick Offerman on their 2nd episode so that's something.

I've never listened to this but Andy Zaltzman's wife does this podcast -

which just won the Gold for best internet programme at the Sonys

Wow, just watched Kevin Pollack interview Demitri Martin. Pollack is very boring and often annoying. Pretty awful show.

from what ive seen i agree. mchale pretty much carries his episode and leaves KP speechless without a comeback more than a few times.

excited to listen to this!

where? the site just loads an embedded flash file when you select an episode from the drop-down, with buttons for share/volume/fullscreen/blip.tv, no download.

Pollak's thing is streaming-video-only though, not a podcast - the audio feed ended one year in

No it didn't. Use this URL: feed://feeds.feedburner.com/KevinPollaksChatShow-audio

oh, sweet. includes video too!

I like "How Did This Get Made" (Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, Jason Mantzoukas) especially the "Battlefield Earth" episode.

sic, im doing it through itunes. no streaming allowed for me.

id actually perfer streaming because as it is itunes syncs my iphone and suddenly ive got no space left

you can set it to "manually manage songs and videos"

Bob Ducca now has a podcast: http://www.earwolf.com/show/affirmation-nation-with-bob-ducca/

Only 4 minutes?

It's a daily thing, M-F.

cool. Bob Ducca rocks

What's up with the other new Earwolf show--the Apple Sisters?

Time Out NY raves: "The show soars!"

http://theapplesisters.com/buzz.html

I've seen them live a few times are they are great.

I finally got hooked on Uhh Yeah Dude. What a great podcast.

this week's was kind of sub-par but the last 4 or 5 have been pretty great.

btw if you call the voicemail and leave a callback number Seth actually calls you back just to shoot the shit for a few minutes.

Really enjoying this week's Earwolf Challenge, with Paul F Tompkins and Jesse Thorn giving actual constructive feedback to podcasters.

Scott Boxenbaum and Megan Koester talk with other comedians about their favorite music. I only found out about this because my friend April did an early episode, but it's turned into a really fun show to follow.

The Gamespy Debriefings just ended, which was great for a bunch of IGN guys talking pointedly about anything other than video games and busting on each other.

Their new show, The Comedy Button, should be debuting soon.

Another show I've just found is WeNerdHard, which is Elon James White and friends in the Brooklyn Comedy Company get together to loudly argue nerd shit with each other and it's hilarious.

Mike and Tom Eat Snacks is the best.

Comedy Film Nerds is a new fave: Ric Meyers ep last week was so great

I rescind my Hootenanny rec, btw. It only took a few episodes for me to absolutely LOATHE these people.

yeah i listened to one on your rec, johnny. tamra brown talking about how she likes her men old and wrinkly *shudder*

would work if it had better guests though. i like the idea.

Mike and Tom Eat Snacks is the best.

yesssssssssssssssssssssss

are there any scripted comedy podcasts, like short sitcoms or what have you?

Tracer have you tried Superego?

Mike and Tom Eat Snacks is the best.

Fuck yes. Been listening to one a day as I catch up, can't believe the dude from Ed is funny and dickish enough to hold his own with MIB.

can't believe the dude from Ed is funny and dickish enough to hold his own with MIB

Think maybe they developed a friendship when MIB WAS ON ED?

Yeah? But that show looked like garbage so I never watched it?

I mean if their characters have a similar dynamic and are half as funny as the podcast, please let me know and I'll go watch it.

Tracer have you tried Superego?

no, but i will now, thanks!

"Ed" was great...had a weird Northern Exposure-meets Freaks and Geeks kinda vibe. Bit of fish out of water, bit of high school blues, plus town weirdos.
But they're never gonna put it on DVD because of music rights clearance issues so you'll have to torrent it.

Superego's good - nice and short, no rambling, well-written, the actors enjoying themselves. Extremely short supply of women tho

you might like Thrilling Adventure Hour, or some of the sub-series in it too - it's not produced, instead done live in a faux old-time-radio style, but is fully scripted, concise and the actors having a ball

comedy bang bang w/ zach g, pft & ylt is delightful

the cdr with zach g and pft as alw was totes ace

Scharpling's hurricane experiences on the September 6th Best Show. Only just now rewinding to find he's ranted about his clean-up for well over 30 minutes. Amazing.

has anyone else listened to "analyze phish"? it's kind of interesting - not a must-listen, and not really a comedy podcast for the most part despite being hosted by scott aukerman and harris wittels. it's more just about the concept of a person who loves something trying to convince someone who hates that same thing to love it, mainly about how difficult that is, but also how embarrassing it is and what kind of strategies you would take. it does have extensive phish clips, on the other hand.

hah yeah i listened to it. i like aukerman & wittels a lot and used to listen to phish a lot but dont at all today. there really is no way to defend trey's voice & honestly i dont know how id convince someone to get into them. actually i wouldnt try but i do think the show is interesting. basically u need to have a lot of free time and be 20, probably. also, i think it's hard to underestimate the obsessive aspect of it

Waiting for The Comedy Button to be posted online

This new Paul F. Tompkins' "Dead Authors" podcast looks promising.

i'd never listened to phish and so far wittels has yet to convince me with his selections, they all sound pretty shitty

had a dream last night that i was explaining/praising "mike and tom eat snacks" to marc maron and a couple of other people. i think maybe i told maron that "it's probably not your kind of thing, you've had issues with those stella guys in the past"

did anyone else listen to last week's "homemade guacamole" episode of MATES? it takes an interesting turn in the last 10-15 minutes.
