Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

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):

Nerd Poker is a great idea but could use some more time in the woodshed

ha didn't they record the first episode over a year ago?

also they've been playing D&D on Harmontown for awhile now

the Harmontown D&D is great

The latest Hodgman interview on Nerdist is a winner.

yes! new cm punk interview is good too

"This is gonna be 'ruff'!" #womptacular

"how did this get made?" is pretty hit-or-miss but the live episode with julie klausner about "the devil's advocate" is gold

I love "How Did This Get Made?" My only gripe is that they try so hard to expose plot holes and inconsistencies, but it often turns out that they just weren't paying much attention. It's always like, "I watched this movie on my phone while I was jogging and it made no sense."

The first two episodes of Jeff Garlin's podcast were both great.

Ok, Paul F. Tompkins and Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett of MST3K doing dueling Don Pardos on Superego 3-14 kinda killed me.

omg I haven't heard that yet :D

Moshe Kasher & Neal Brennan's ep with Kumail Nanjiani is really great. See also: Wayans Bros ep, and the Retta ep.

I'm enjoying "The Reality Show Show", especially where the ludicrousness of the subject matter is such that the hosts break character and can't contain their reactions

comedy bang bang tv show is up on netflix streaming now

jake fogelnest read my farrah abraham itunes review at the start of the Fogelnest Files today. so proud.

My pal April has started one where she invites people (comedians, so far) over to her place to watch and live-critique episodes of Saved By The Bell. She's gotten verbal commits from both Dave Grohl and Andrew WK to appear on future eps, but those haven't materialized yet.

lol this is the funniest thing to me

it's a real game, not a CBB invention, if that's why you're lolling?

thx sic

I feel like hip L.A. comedians are always going on about singer-songwriters like Aimee Mann and Fiona Apple and Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe, so it was a nice surprise to hear Zach Galifianakis give a shout-out to The Field on Comedy Bang Bang this week.

What the eff:

apparently one of the founders of Westwood One decided he's going to try to start a podcast network or distribution point or I don't know what. the shows carried on there tend to run the gamut, you could say.

Adam Carolla to Harry Shearer to On The Media and RadioLab and Ron Paul and Laura Ingraham to the Skeptics Guide to the Universe to Dennis Miller

Nerdist interview with Jeff Bridges worth a listen

The Reality Show Show has started back up after a prolonged absence. Worth a listen.

loved jon wurster on fogelnest files, he's such a good talker and has a long and varied history. ymmv if you don't care about superchunk/the best show on wfmu though

oh that sounds cool - I dip in and out of Fogelnest, some of the guests are not great

It's weird to hear Wurster not in character. fogelnest kept trying to rush a bit to get the next clip, but Wurster was like "chill, i'm telling a story here"

The live Fogelnest eps where it's kinda like watching a bunch of random YouTubes with your friends are more fun to me than most of the single-person ones, where he tries to be all serious as an interviewer. AV Club Podmass dude seems to think the exact opposite, tho.

I don't like Fogelnest's show as much as I like the YouTube playlists he creates for each episode. Some of them are pretty great and fairly obscure. Fogelnest is a little tough for me to take as a host.

He's enthusiastic and I wkiw, but he also tends to just loudly agree with whatever his guests say (even when they've just disagreed with something he said previously), and that deferential attitude sometimes makes it seem to me like he's being good naturedly bullied on his own show, whenever he has someone with a stronger personality on.

Also dude's anti-teen thing gets tiresome - I kinda think kids in the 90's were if anything LESS interested in the history of popcult than they are today - but hell, I'm 28 so it's no longer my battle to fight.

i don't always love it, esp when it borders on mocking the people who post the videos, but i'll listen if i'm interested in the guests. i agree fogelnest can be pretty annoying.

I enjoyed Kumail Nanjiani on the recent CBB, as I think he's a far better guest than host(dig his Harmontown appearances v. his own show). The fact that he was able to get Scott Awkzermans and James Adomian(especially) to break up repeatedly was great.

that was a weird episode but mainly because of adomian, who turns me off sometimes - he was much funnier as jesse ventura than as paul giamatti. i'm glad andy daly has been back the past couple of weeks after not being on the show for a bit.

i just started listening to kumail's loooong nerdist interview

kumail is great -- his interview on the Champs is also pretty good too

just bought tickets for the comedy bang bang live tour in october. didn't go last year but paul f tompkins is coming this year and birthday boys are opening, sounds pretty fun.

my favorite "how did this get made?" episodes are the ones when they have people who were involved in making the movies on the show. interview with one of the writers of crocodile dundee 3 in the most recent episode was amazing.

I loved that story of Paul Hogan jacking the script credit
