Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

Greatest Generation is awesome. Very much the kinda show one just endlessly shotguns down once you first take a listen

The Dollop book is out in bookstores, judging from a shopping trip last night

xxp definitely agree on both points.

I just listened to the Hollywood Handbook music episode and I was LOLing while driving and coughing. Peaches -> Corporations -> Colin was pretty amazing.

yeah, it's great - i've just caught up to the current episode and listening to the recurring jokes pile up over a compressed period was really fun

This weeks Spontaneanation

It's not the funniest ep but the Dollop about Uber is incredible. I don't use it so I was totally unaware of how incredibly evil they are.

yeah that one was p crazy

it is literally unbelievable to me that people willingly listen to that podcast, it's just this barrage of loud crap imo

i like pf tompkins' own (quiet, wry) stuff tho

I love cbb

it has definitely gotten louder in recent years. i used to listen to every episode, but now i pick and choose.

It's hit or miss, but it's given me a lot of laughs over the years.

cbb can be really funny but it's a kind of comedy which you can become aggravating when you listen to too much of it. For the last couple of years I've mostly just listened to the end of year best episodes thing, which is enough for me.

Paul F Tompkins is on Jeb Lund's show, talking about politics in a way he rarely does on mic

Nick Mullen is incredibly funny and witty on his feet when he's on. I guess Cum Town crosses the line from time to time, but it seems like it plays a certain role as the scummy unfinished basement of comedy podcasts.

will listen

still love catching up w/magic tavern so so much, it is my favorite thing rn

Every episode of Off Book w/ Jessica McKenna & Zach Reino is an improvised musical that is often hilarious. I probably lol out loud at least 3-5 times each episode and they're extraordinarily quick and clever performers. They always have a guest and so far they've had Paul Scheer, Paul F Tompkins, Fran Gillespie, Jamie Denbo, etc. I can imagine this isn't for everyone but if you love musicals + improv comedy I think it's worth checking out.

There was also a sort of side ep of Off Book done as an episode of With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus

Stav soundboard episode of cum town was great.

why am i listening to an hour and a half of the doughboys and hollywood handbook eating shrimp live

Because they must put crack cocaine in it, that's how addictive it is

I'm dying at how bad Wiger is doing.

o damn looking fwd to that ep so much

yes the biggest laughs are wiger's terrible lack of strategy and sean making his corny biscuit jokes to the waitress

but there's also a lot of wet chewing

Wet chewing has an audience

Hayes & Sean would deliberately wet-chew into the mic just to irritate others

pink shrimpies

I've listened to so many episodes of The Dollop in the last month. Pretty much addicted tbh. Who's looking forward to episode 300?

yes & no

yes bcz Dollop
no bcz Captain Cheetoh

yeah I've also been binging on old dollop episodes lately, but feel like I already know way more about Donald Trump than any person should ever know and I don't even really know that much about him

i thought i knew a fair bit abt Errol Flynn & boyyyyy i did not lol

prolly start on the Trump on tomorrow

Hollywood Handbook today is dark

It wasn't good imo, I wonder if Lapkus was genuinely stung by Sean's takedown of the premise of her new podcast. I like that Hollywood Handbook usually avoids the mock contentious tone that CBB characters often take, of course they're assholes but the premise is that they're trying to help.

been very much enjoying 'what a time to be alive' lately - comedians kath barbadoro, eli yudin and patrick monaghan talk about five events from the past week

or at least that's the framework for it, mainly it's just an excuse for them to riff and make endless digressions, but they have great chemistry and it's usually really funny

on similar lines i'm also into 'your kickstarter sucks'

after a brief break i'm back all-in with hello from the magic tavern

The late-2017 episode of I Don't Even Own a Television on Love Monkey (which i just caught up with) features a guest spot from a certain ILXer, and is well worth a listen.

There’s another ep with the same guest a bit further back in the catalog too!

Valley of the Dolls ep

Just listened to my first ep of this, the Ready Player One ep, and really enjoyed it.

Yeah, IDEOAT is great and J's a solid dude. Highly recommend the ep on Bill O'Reilly's novel (yes, really).

Andy Daly's Podcast Pilot Project getting a second season, if it's anything like the first should be a blast.

got live tickets for how did this get made AND hollywood handbook later this summer. psyched.

has anyone listened to the podcast called Episode One? it took me a while to find because searching for that is impossible but once i found it i liked it, and then i listened more and holy hell it gets very good and weird

I've listened to it a bit. Those guys are definitely very funny, and the concept is kind of amazing (for the uninitiated: every episode is presented as the first and only episode of a failed podcast, with a different subject and characters each time). But it comes off as almost completely unedited, which can make for a rough listen (awkward pauses, jokes that don't land, the hosts breaking to laugh at their own jokes, etc.) I don't think I've ever made it through a whole episode.

Scharpling's Meet My Friends the Friends is a better, more subtle and funnier podcast parody. It's his loooooooong-form humor in bite-sized bits, and it works.

Once the rhythm of it got going it’s been aces. Every time Scharpling was losing it and then one of Jason’s bumpers would play killed. Really hope Brett Davis appears again as Ruby Goodman.

My other 'alf and his friend Tara have been nominated as finalists in TWO categories - comedy and most popular - in the Australian Podcast awards for their Bloody Murder podcast. Unbelievable!

I mean these awards have pods done by TV stations and media outlets and shit, this isnt small fry stuff.

Ooh cool!
