Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

yeah I got weird looks for laughing at this while listening to this this morning while riding the subway.

Also I've had it's been a while stuck in head all day

If nothing else, Staind Glass has explained to me why Scott and PFT and various others have been singing it's binawhile as an aside for the last couple of months

manstainding

Ha how is it that I am just now learning that Milo from the Descendents is Scott Aukerman's uncle?

Wait, what?

Wow! Oddly I think I've heard Scott A. talk more about the Vandals than the Descendants.

Huh I didn't know that either. Also weird bc his parents seem pretty conservative.

I can help. I put this together last year (just in time for the show to end): https://mega.co.nz/#F!IhMUHSbT!bd9x_zzfj2lFfm8_dkvD_A

Oh yeah I saw that via FOT, thanks. I actually downloaded the first few episodes, thinking I might start listening to the whole show in order, but I'm not sure that's the best way to go about listening to the old stuff. But I'd still give Tom money for it.

holy shit dude. i heard a rumor of an mp3 archive but figured it was a hidden board on FOT or on bittorrent.

I think an even bigger compliment to Tom would be that he is worth downloading RealPlayer for.

Does anyone listen to Topics? I love MIB and Showalter but I felt like I got the joke of Topics after the first episode. Did they ever go anywhere different with it? I miss MIB and Tom Cavanaugh's snack podcast (RIP).

Topics got old. But it kinda served as a template for are you talking U2 to me?

I listened to the entire run of U Talkin' U2 To Me? over the past few days. Today's finale/commentary episode is pretty funny.

Started listening to Kumail Nanjani's X-Files podcast-- not comedy really, but cool.

I like Topics, but it's more of an occasional download than an every week download for me.

"clap your hands" is people doing standup. i heard a settlers of catan joke on it. it's weird that it's hard to find more like that (standup podcasts, not settlers of catan joke podcasts)

Comedians don't want to use up their stage material on podcasts

Do you mean "Put Your Hands Together," Cameron Esposito's podcast/stand-up show?

Good ep of "You Poppin' My STONES?!" today!
