Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

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

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

The podcast is pretty much only about video games fwiw

it's kinda cool though

they have a chill vibe, and dan harmon does a 2parter abt skyrim that is cool even if u dont game

Yeah, I don't game. But I also don't smoke pot and still listen to Getting Doug With High.

just pick a guest you like & try it, it's pretty fun

UYD always seemed to me to be a show best enjoyed in bulk over time.

I think this is pretty accurate. I guess I can understand how listening to a couple of shows at random might make you think that a bunch of standups interviewing each other would be more fun. But enjoying UYD in bulk over time has turned me and everyone I know who's ever heard it into mental fans.

hi how ya doin

Hee. Like, I get the appeal of interview-style stuff, but if I don't like the guest that week then I'm out of luck, really. It shows how superior UYD is that it's the same two people talking every week and it never gets boring.

SEATBELTS

Oh I really want one of those t shirts, btw. And they are always sold out.

PFT! Jon Daly! Baron Vaughn! Reggie Watts! What a night this was!

another recommendation for Andy Daly's Podcast Pilot Program. really hilarious

Attended the tapings of the Crab Feast, Jonah Raydio, and Harmontown. Good times, but Harmontown was not quite the cathartic experience everyone was hoping for(which is no surprise of you've ever attended a taping of that before)

Catching up on the last few weeks of U Talkin’ U2 To Me?, and almost fell over in public laughing at the launch of What’s Your Fuckstyle? during Staind Glass.

I think Staind Glass ep will probably the greatest thing Earwolf will do all year, tied only by certain eps of the Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Podcast Project.

Seriously, you guys need to hear this:

http://www.earwolf.com/episode/staind-glass/

The bit where they play songs for Todd to guess if they're U2 or not is transcendently glorious.

"ill know if its his song in a heartbeat. probably"

todd glass is mostly insufferable tho. he should be studied by science

I like Todd Glass but he seemed so uncomfortable for most of that episode. My favorite UTU2TM has been the one with Paul F. Tompkins where they were up really late and got loopy and kept making PFT start his U2 story over and over and then ended up by saying they wanted the episode played at their funerals.

I just started digging into Kurt Braunohler's K Ohle podcast & omg it is great

The 'Get Lost' episodes are maybe some of the most legit interesting podcasting I've heard ever. He blindfolds comedians & drives them to secret awesome LA landmarks that are kinda unusual or unique.

And his one Radiolab parody episode 'Fact Time' is hilarious in its perfect riffing of that show

Gilbert Godfried has a new podcast, though apparently its going to be him interviewing a bunch of classic Hollywood types, so I'm not really sure what to expect from that.

Enjoying Professor Blastoff after about a month of subscription.

oh whoa. would def listen to a GG podcast

GG was great on norm

Welcome to Night Vale 2nd anniversary at Town Hall. Meanwhile I'm half dead trying to bring #BestShow2014 back. Where Is The Justice.

I'll pay or subscribe, whatever he's selling, I'm buying. DIY home studio for future iterations of Best Show is a great move. But he must be running into a couple foreseeable roadblocks:

mirth - no problem there, he could do 45 minute Fonzie riffs and people would still listen. no shortage of funny guests either.
music - no big loss here, we all know who led zeppelin is. dude could host bands passing through, depending.
mayhem - this must be the main barrier to producing something unique. he could do a dial in line like Chelsea Peretti's podcast, but then he'd be self-selecting for the worst type of Best Show caller, the cleverer than thou rabid podcast listener who infested the lines towards end of the run. he'd still have the Supercallers, but no randoms.

I'm not sure how one creates mayhem outside of live radio.

My favorite UTU2TM has been the one with Paul F. Tompkins where they were up really late and got loopy and kept making PFT start his U2 story over and over and then ended up by saying they wanted the episode played at their funerals.

yes this was hilarious

Yes the Best Show is pretty much the only podcast I can think of that I would actually pay money for (ESPECIALLY if it includes a full downloadable radio show archive but that might be a pipe dream) but he needs to figure out a way to have callers or some analog to callers.
