Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

CBB live show last night was so much fun. Horatio Sanz doing Victor Ramos (the community organizer) and PFT doing John C. Reilly. Made my face hurt from laughing.

Already up for download, btw.

You can probably hear me boo for comedic effect at one point.

Never Not Funny is free on Earwolf now, apparently.

Andy Daly has his own podcast starting this month (also Earwolf)

Desus Vs. Mero is great

just getting into The Champs, some of the guests & interviews are really great. not sad that they lost the dj drops at some point though.

yeah there are some seriously great interviews.

the doug's drops are good sometimes, but they did get kinda meh after a while.

Anybody here listen to Welcome to Night Vale? It's a horror/comedy hybrid in the form of community radio broadcasts from a fictional desert town. It has floating cats, mysterious hooded figures, deadly librarians, and a fairly well-handled gay romance subplot. I think it's kind of hit-or-miss, but when it's good, it's *really* good.

YES! It is so amazing!

The Champs episode with Wyatt Cenac is great

Andy Daly's Podcast Pilot Project is some next level shit.

Also, You Talking U2 To Me?! is surprisingly compelling.

I am liking Andy Daly in pretty much everything right now. His guest spot on Kroll Show was great. Review is pretty funny. I seriously do want him to do a Dalton Wilcox book just so I could listen to him reading the audiobook.

i love the sound of Are You Talking u2 me but I can't stand scott aukerman

i love the andy daly podcast pilot project though

I can't stand scott aukerman

huh!

something about him, his voice, his deliberate meandering... it all drives me up the wall

the andy daly project thing is pretty awesome, he's definitely a funny dude. i've been watching old episodes of the long-since-cancelled crossballs on youtube and he's pretty great in that too

i like scott but i also like not having to hear shit like the "cbb weather report" and his endless introductions and plugs and all that crap. andy daly's podcast gets right to the good stuff

ha Veg if you hate Aukerman's deliberate meandering you would HATE U Talkin' U2 To Me and I Love Films, because of Adam Scott's MUCH MORE deliberate meandering (and the fact they agree they both have exactly the same voice)

lol

But those episodes of CBB with Adam Scott and Harris Wittells as the lumber yard guys are pretty okay

Harris is on 2/3 episodes of Talkin' U2

Adam Scott's MUCH MORE deliberate meandering

in the latest episode, it takes more than an hour before either of them think to mention that this week is about Rattle & Hum, and it is another 25 minutes before anyone starts talking about it

I want them to bring in Tom Scharpling for an ep or two

Finally getting to the Don DiMello ep of the Andy Daly podcast... I'm dying.

go see Andy live and he'll do the character

U Talkin' U2 To Me is basically Topics where U2 is the only topic

I've been getting into Slumber Party with Alie & Georgia the past couple days. I can almost tell their voices apart at this point.

The Matt Mira episode is great...and the Dan Harmon one is, well, it's very drunk rambly Dan but it's pretty funny

Adding my tupence to recommend the Andy Daly podcast project

Podcast Pilot Project

RS does a top 15 led by Maron. Anyone heard James Urbaniak's?

http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/pictures/listen-up-the-20-best-comedy-podcasts-right-now-20140508/

Only one ep, which was a little play he performed written by his wife.

That RS has some curious ordering, and I would not put Indoor Kids on there, as I think Kumail's strengths are far greater in being a guest rather than a host with a dubious knowledge of the ostensible subject matter.

Two shows they missed:

-The Flop House, which I enjoy every single time and stars 2/3rds Daily Show writers, which has surprisingly inclusion of Tennessee Williams and 90s Marvel/Vertigo comics when they wander off on their constant jags

-the aforementionend U Talkin U2 to Me? A great recent ep where the hosts pointedly refuse to talk about U2 has Paul F Thompkins on to help them not talk about U2.

It's a great show for anyone who hates U2, and also, for anyone who loves U2.

They need to have Tom Scharpling on preferably with Harris Whittels returning, as Tom's constant cranky excoriation of Harris' fave band on Harris' Analyze Phish show was a thing of beauty.

Hmmm and I see I've already made like most of these points up thread so carry on then

No UYD in that Rolling Stone list? I mean, I like the Bugle but it doesn't make me laugh til I cry on a regular basis.

lol at the Bugle picture being just John Oliver.

I love the Bugle, but yeah, kinda sad that UYD didn't make the cut

UYD always seemed to me to be a show best enjoyed in bulk over time. I can remember listening to it some a few years ago, but I think I kept getting Seth's voice confused with Merlin Mann's on You Look Nice Today, as I consumed both a lot back then.

any best comedy podcast list that doesn't include UYD is 100% nonsense

hey a bunch of mediocre stand-ups are interviewing each other! gather round

glad The Champs made the cut though

i tried The Champs, but i realized I just hate Moshe Kasher too much to overcome my hate of Moshe Kasher.

oh no

i love me some moshe

i really like him from the podcast now, at least as a human. i don't know if that applies to his stand-up...watched the first 10 minutes of whatever special is on Netflix and wasn't into it, but maybe i should give him another shot now.

I'd like to hear Kumail Nanjiani's podcast. His album from last year was great. Seems like a chill dude.

I've been listening to Doug Benson's Getting Doug With High, where he invites people over and they smoke down. Some episodes are better than others. My favorite eps that I've heard so far have been Greg Proops and Ngaio Bealum. I guess it is actually broadcast as a streaming video thing, but since podcasts are mostly something I listen to while driving, I don't really fuck with them.

I was surprised to see Doug Loves Movies in that list. I went and checked the site just yesterday because I haven't listened in a long time and it didn't even look like he does that podcast anymore. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place?

podcast websites are sometimes neglected afaict

Oh, right. I always forget that most people use iTunes to get podcasts. I'm not one of them.

There's also Stitcher or apps like Downcast.

The Bridgetown Comedy Fest starts tonight in Portland, and I think I'm going to hit the taping of the Thrilling Adventure Hour w/ PFT and Jon Daly. Other shows taping here this weekend are Throwing Shade, Jonah Raydio, Harmontown, This Feels Terrible, and like several more that I can't currently remember.

Oh, right. I always forget that most people use iTunes to get podcasts. I'm not one of them.

bookmark the rss feed, not a homepage

The podcast is pretty much only about video games fwiw
