Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

Holy cow, the Gilbert Gottfried podcast is legit amazing for old school show-biz trash talk.

I have massively overdosed in catching up on Alex Horne Breaks the News (I didn't know about it until 2 weeks ago)
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/alex-horne-breaks-the-news/id636514684?mt=2

listening to a lot of Go Bayside!, a show where April Richardson watches an ep of Saved by the Bell with a comedian friend on her couch and discusses it afterward.

The latest ep has Paul F Tompkins on it and is glorious.

Will I enjoy that even though I've never seen an episode of that show? I do like April Richardson. And PFT.

Yes. Half of the guest hosts have not seen an episode.

CBB #300 is really a tour-de-force for Andy Daly. Though it might not make any sense if you haven't heard most of his prior CBB appearances. I thought I had heard every episode but he still did at least one character I don't recognize.

The Jimmy Pardo eps of Go Bayside are great, covering the episodes of Jessie's pill addiction and when they camped out to buy U2 tickets at the mall

I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so...scared...

my sister still says that line from time to time. classic ep.

Scharpling in the Derek Jeter hat tip commercial is killing me right now:

the Seaton Smith episode of the Champs podcast is A+

really good conversation abt Ferguson & blackness etc

Superego is finally back, with Paul F. Tompkins as an offical member now--plus Neko Case on the new episode

i listened to it yesterday... maybe my expectations were too high but I was kinda 'meh'

Best repercussion of today's Apple announcement: the eventual return of "U Talkin' U2 to Me?"

yeah, my first I thought when I read about the U2 album being released was that this means they have to make at least one new episode of "U Talkin' U2 to Me?"

I've heard about this... Used to know the co-host back in the NY scene of the '90s.

...and it's already up

And its 2.5 hours long.

the smartest man in the world is my favorite atm

i love proops

I got sick of Proops for a while last year. I don't know. I was under the impression that he was drinking heavying maybe? Anyway, I tuned back in last week and he seems back on his game.

I'm enjoying Black on Black Cinema, especially when they go after Tyler Perry

I've gone back and listened to a few episodes of You Made It Weird this week. Pete Holmes is tough to take for two hours at a time, but the conversations go into good places. Not to be mistaken for a comedy podcast, though.

I love Pete's energy but I can only take him in small doses -- it has to be a guest I really love for me to tune in

Will rep again for Kurt Braunohler's K Ohle podcast -- the Get Lost episodes are SO good

I couldn't get into K Ohle, not sure why. Pete Holmes is so annoying but he's kind of fun on Doug Loves Movies because he's trying to be annoying.

I don't like the regular K Ohle episodes, they're too aimless for me -- but every couple of months he does a 'Get Lost' episode where he blindfolds someone and takes them to a weird/unique location. It's really great. More like an NPR field-reporting type style than anything else around.

I'm enjoying Black on Black Cinema

I listened to one of these last week after you mentioned it (the 'Malcolm X' episode) and it was good. Not sure I need to hear them all, but I may queue another episode up if I'm in the mood.

He does the annoying Marc Maron thing of talking about his life for like 20 minutes before getting to the fun part of the show.

I don't know if anyone else will care but "Mike and Tom Eat Snacks" is back after being gone for like a year.

yes! so happy

I've been enjoying some of these podcasts with narrow themes: Go Bayside!, James Bonding, The X-Files Files, U Talking U2 to Me? I guess MATES is similar but more open-ended.

Are there any more of these types of thing?

Go Bayside!

Happy whenever I see someone bring this one, because April's a friend.

James Bonding is the best, I love it so much

The Dork Forest is good -- it's a different guest each week but they get super specific about whatever that guest is nerdy about, it's pretty fun & interesting

I still don't listen to comedy podcasts bcz i imagine they are almost as awful as your descriptions.

like "whatever a guest is nerdy about" -- when i hear ppl talk about such things, i just get embarrassed for them and me.

x-post to ignore Morbs Sounds cool. I've heard her on other shows.

I haven't heard it but there's a podcast called The Worst Idea of All Time where two guys watch and review the same movie every week. Grown Ups 2.

ha yikes

examples -- Greg Proops talks about Satchel Paige and Negro League baseball and early baseball history in general

there's a live one where Dana Gould & James Urbaniak talk about old Hollywood history & movies that's GREAT

Dork Forest was where I first heard about Michelle McNamama's work on unsolved crimes & her True Crime diary website

some episodes are kind of embarrassing, like when she did one with Maria Bamford in a restaurant and they were both eating on mic, and the Jen Kirkman paranormal/ghosts episode was pretty dumb

There was a recent Dork Forest where a comedian guy claimed to be into interior design and his tips were sooooo bad

they're not all great, I'll the first to admit that

Did the name come from that line in Saved By the Bell? "Dorks! Take me to the forest!"

Pick of the week: Danny Aiello on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast. He explodes on Scorsese, Sopranos, everyone, everything.

Whoa

I know Nerdist isn't particularly beloved around here, but Spike Feresten's story about why Bill Murray absolutely despises him is pretty fun listening.

anybody watching the pardcast-a-thon? at pardcast.com

Patton Oswalt on right now

not technically a comedy podcast but Matt Gourley (Superego, James Bonding) has a new podcast called I Was There Too where he interviews ppl who had bit parts in big movies
So far:
Paul F Tompkins - There Will Be Blood
Ricco Ross - Pvt Frost from Aliens!
Greg Proops - The Phantom Menace

he does v sincere interviewing so even the PFT interview was not just a straightup lolfest

What's happening with superego anyway? Noticed they didn't drop a new ep last month

yeah i dunno

The drive thru scene in the latest Superego cast is quite funny
