Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

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.

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.

Laser Time
The Comedy Button

oh man, Gelmania was funny. I hope he does more episodes.

*doug loves movies halloween ep w/ cbb characters*

just saw that on the feed, and have a laugh-boner swelling in my hippocampus already

Bought Chris Hardwick's _the Nerdist Way_ funny self-help-type tome yesterday. Will see how he translates all the stuff he's learnt himself to an instructional format.

Let me know how it is, I was thinking of picking it up.

Started listening to Comedy Bang Bang more often and it made me appreciate Nick Kroll. Uh and the Paul F. Tompkins/Andy Richter episode was pretty good all around, lots of PFTs Werner Herzog impression.

I've now listened to 304+ hours of Uhh Yeah Dude in the past 6 months and am pretty sure it is the greatest comedy achievement of our time. Seatbelts, fruits.

damn ive been on a tear lately-- burned through abt 50 episodes since the week before christmas. have about 98 to go.

fyi this is link to every single craigslist segment edited together in to one three hour long mp3: http://www.sendspace.com/file/jfntg1

also i received a callback from Seth on christmas eve

The craigslist stuff is so good.

Seth's rant about Seinfeld in the last episode was A+++

Seatbelts.

a million dollars.

going to my third live show next month. living in la has advantages.

holla back for a dope cock.

I caught on to the Maron podcasts a couple of months ago, and ended up subscribing just so I could listen to a stack of the older ones. The interviews are ultimately case studies in why successful people are successful. It's so lovely listening to schtick monsters like Robin Williams drop the act and be completely straight up about their work, and Maron knows exactly how to get the best out of them.

I mean I know it's been covered to death, just hoping to convince those people who heard 40 seconds of a monologue and gave up.

His interview with Russell Brand was good, I actually warmed to Brand a little more because of it. Not that it was hugely revealing beyond what I knew, but hearing him speak at length and joke around with Maron helped make him a little more human, or soemthing.
