Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

since there's no context itt, maybe some actual info about what the podcast is would be more useful than just telling ppl to google something for no reason

just a thought tho

lol tell that to everyone who posts tweets here

forget i said anything

it's a comedy podcast called Ask Joan and Jericha

(though all of that info can be gleaned from the URL and the context of this thread)

i don't want to say more quite yet because i think it's better to come at these things fresh tbh!

lol sorry "DEAR Joan and Jericha"

Doug Benson came up during the same alt-comedy explosion that people are currently making huge amounts of money from. His peers were like Eugene Merman, Bamford, Patton Oswald etc. Why is he never in tv or films? He seems doomed to be a mediocre podcast guy forever. Even stupid Pete Holmes got a HBO show.

I don't get the sense that he auditions for much or writes much. He has very few writing credits, and his acting credits are mostly as Himself in his friends' works (including Pete Holmes' show). He appears as himself in You're the Worst. He had a bit part on his friends' show Another Period. Etc.

He had a show on Comedy Central but it didn't last.

It may also be due to being constantly drunk and high?

Pete Holmes on the other hand created and wrote his TBS talk show and wrote for College Humor for several years before Apatow anointed him.

Benson seems perfectly happy at his current level of success, touring nearly every week, doing five podcasts, having a live-streamed weekly talk show on the internet, putting out an album a year, making no-budget documentaries, occasionally getting TV gigs, and AFAIK not paying any portion of his income to an agent or manager. While being constantly drunk and high eleven months of the year.

Once you've been in Blade Runner, Return Of The Living Dead, Space Camp and Captain EO, where else is there to go as an actor?

He's was born one day before Tom Cruise

Hollywood Handbook ate it in front of a Comic Con crowd and so their episode this week is them doing commentary around it, I’m dead.

This is absolutely superb

dear joan & jericha is very funny in places

I wonder how much of it is ad-libbed. they do a great job of staying straight faced too

the scottish accent is really good too

oh i fancy listening to that, julia davis is a genius

this is a good hollywood handbook and is in the same category as sean telling the story of him auditioning for a voice-over commercial role that asked for "hollywood handbook types" and not getting it

it’s really well done. there’s a discussion of clitoral flossing and vaginal steaming in one of the later eps that’s wild

xp?!

This Hollywood Handbook is something

their genuine gratitude to Chef Kevin for killing time is so heartwarming

it really doesn't sound all that bad there's def some laughter throughout the original show. maybe not an amazing reaction but it doesn't really sound like they died up there.

I’ve been liking Punch Up the Jams. Two comedians/musicians and a guest review a hit song from the past, then record their own “improved” version. A bit dorky, but infectious. I dug the “What a Fool Believes” episode, because one of their fathers, a commercial jingle producer, was the guest, and he had worked with many of the Steely Dan/Yacht session guys.

While I am here please everyone go listen to FILM COURT a podcast my sister and her friends are doing about basketball movies, there’s not really a homepage but it should be indexed by all the podcatchers. It’s good! Get in early.

That Handbook billboard is next level

jo firestone ep of hollywood handbook this week was one of the best in a while (poor chef kevin though)

the HH ep of hello from the magic tavern is amazing

“What a glorious way to prepare for fighting”

“Yeah it’s cool, it’s alright”

The Flagrant Ones is great fun

Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Project is now out from behind the paywall on Earwolf. Only episode that's really scaled the heights of the first season has been the Dalton Wilcox Bonanza one.

I got Stitcher Premium to catch up on the HH back catalogue.

Also: Threedom with Lauren Lapkus, Paul F. Tompkins and Scott Aukerman is a delight.

Threedom's out from behind the paywall too.

yea luv 3dom

Tracer I'm annoyed at Dear Joan & Jericha without listening again because the episodes are all called things like WjxcRae2TQGe2IRQC8M8_DJJ_S001_E001_FINAL_001 with no metadata at all

huh

Beyond Yacht Rock!

Oh shit I gotta go to that

Done. Perfect way to spend the last evening of my 20s.

I’m freshly obsessed with The Podcast for Laundry. Recommended if you like Hollywood Handbook but wish it were more alienating and hostile

Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster is quality stuff, the UK's very own Doughboys.
