This past weeks episode, aired aug 14 and online on aug 16

got it.

am listening now.

major lols at scharpling encouraging Albini to get into Night Ranger

That Albini call was easily one of the roughest Tom / Notable Person calls I've ever heard on The Best Show. Like, it's clear that Tom is a huge, huge, huge fan and kind of wants to impress Albini; but, it's also clear that Albini has probably spent 30 years talking to music nerds who love him and try to impress him w/ esoteric music talk. Couple that w/ the fact that Albini has a rep of not being the easiest dude to talk to, and ... ugh. The amount of genuflecting Tom does during the call was way out of the norm.

Funniest part of the call was that it was clearly off to a rough start, so Tom tries to steer things to a more light, conversational place, ie sports, and then Albini goes into his baseball polemic. Tom's interior monologue must've been popping off.

Either way, cool bit of radio. Heh, hope Albini enjoys his Night Ranger iTunes gift!

or listener-provided FLAC files

Huh I interpreted that conversation totally differently. I think they're both treating it pretty lightly.

i only listened to the first ten minutes of the interview but i liked tom needling albini about the urge overkill album

Joan fkng Rivers is on Nerdist today!

Really good interview. Interestingly, she said she hasn't seen any money from the IFC documentary?

ought she have?

I would have thought so. but then maybe I'm just a naive bumpkin i guess?

Jesus, the Maron, Scharpling, Murphy, Kirkman, Coop twitter feeds were on fire tonight.

Jake Fogelnest has a new podcast - The Fogelnest Files. He does it live at the UCB every month (or is going to) - played a bunch of tv clips of punk fans and punk rock bands on talk shows (ie Murphy's Law on Donahue, Ramones on Regis, FEAR performing on SNL) and has guests talk about the clips. This month's guests were Julie Klausner and Chris Gethard. It's pretty great! And he puts all the clips online so you can watch them later or while you're listening.

yeah, that was a pretty effective podcast form

Dude hosts a good mid-morning show on XMU, doesn't he

if he's the same Jake I'm thinking of

yep! and he's done VH1 and MTV stuff and is always kind of the clip-show talking guy.

I have kind of a dumb nerdy crush on him.

oh i remember Squirt TV, was on during sophomore/junior year

I enjoyed an appearance on Julie Klausner's podcast by a Gawker blogger.

the last improv4humans was the funniest one of the bunch so far. jason mantzoukas, jessica st clair & lennon parham w/matt besser

Mulaney/Kroll on CBB was a delight.

yes they kind of steamrolled lizzy caplan out of the episode but it was a funny one

the first episode of chelsea peretti's new podcast is up today. it's called "call chelsea peretti."

Today's Fogelnest Files mentions a Ned Raggett blog post about Manakin

i generally avoid pete holmes but i enjoyed his ep w/ zach g

It was a short, off-hand moment, but I keep giggling every time I think of the Scharpling bit from a few weeks ago, where DMX is about to get mauled by his dogs -> one of them pauses and turns on an iPod with its nose to play "Frankie Teardrop."

has anyone actually listened to "my brother, my brother, and me"? podmass has a huge boner for it.

it's a bit too skypey

Comedy Bang Bang this last week was killer. I love Adomian's gay supervillain voice, and the MASH jokes were brilliant.

I'll keep repping for the Flop House. Worth your time.

I finally went back and listened to the CBB (well CDR) with Adomian as Huell Howser. It was so great.

there are about 10 CDR/CBBs with Huell Howser on, plus a couple from the 2012 tour live episodes

Oh man. Well, this was the first one I found, think it dated back to the radio days. So much joy ahead of me.

yeah, just work through every Adomian episode from beginning to now, nearly every character is a hit

second Huell episode might have been the one with Michael Cera and the debut of Harris's Phone (not-yet Foam) Corner

I can't concieve of ever getting tired of Tompkins as Garry Marshall.

Please! Call him Mister Marshall.

lol, would not have posted this if I'd heard the ep

Tho it should be said that the only Huell Howser better than Adomian's is Dana Gould's, who is how I first learned of HH years ago

If you can deal with Adam Carolla, seek out the episodes when Dana Gould is on. Gould always does his Howser impression as a commentary to a real HH episode and always always kills.

Exactly. Dana showing up on Adam's morning drive show a few years back was always a highlight.

Nerdist's chat with Maria Bamford was truly bizarre. Bamford talks about her recent stay in a psych ward, but weaves in a bunch of her recent bits about it. Very odd to hear her talking about all this stuff but still using all her voices.

comedy bang bang holiday spectacular is amazing, esp the return of paul rust's "new no-no's" and bill cosby bukowski. also there's an earwolf presents that is marissa wompler's long-awaited podcast cohosted by miss listler - haven't listened yet but i'm pumped

The Flop House is consistently entertaining with their movie review or two per month. Eliot even gets namedropped by Jon Hodgeman on his Nerdist appearance, where Jon goes on about the surprising fun that bullying a nerd can be.

Been enjoying the Baby Geniuses podcast with Emily Heller and Lisa Hanawalt. Silly fun times.

tried a couple of episodes in sad attempt to make up for not being able to buy Hanawalt's I Want You #1 anywhere, after #2 blew the top of me head clear off, but production values were a bit shoddy and there was no structure

super-psyched to womp up the jamz though!

Definitely bad production value and structureless, no argument from me on those points

the womptacular has jason mantzoukis as the oft-mentioned "gutterballs"

Ha

xp oh man, must listen

also Brian huskey playing stepdad Seth

I enjoyed this rundown of horrid animated christmas specials(GI Joe, He-Man, Smurfs, etc):
