Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

Have now listened to about 20 WTF w/ Marc Maron podcasts thanks to this thread. My God this thing is incredible. Highly recommended for weird, uncomfortable interplay between Maron and interviewee: Carlos Mencia 2-parter and Louis CK 2-parter.

co-sign this whole post^^ the Ira Glass episode was really nice, too.

also, would like to big up http://uhhyeahdude.com/ again. comedy podcasting by 2 guys who aren't "comedians", just guys who are funny to listen to.

yeah i've liked the couple shows of theirs that i've listened to

Ya uyd is rad

They are actual comedians though right?

i just started listening to WTF, started with the louis ck ep. and it was really good and interesting and funny, but like 97% because of louis ck. marc maron seems really annoying and he talks way too long before he brings the guest in.

Jonathan Laroquette is a musician and Seth Romatelli is a sometimes actor. Neither one does stand up.

Wrongest thing u have ever said bro

Eh it was just two episodes so I could change my mind, but his voice is really grating and he was just like whine whine whine about Louie CK not returning his emails.

Jerry Minor finally has his own show on Earwolf, "Cyberthug Radio" or somesuch. Thing was released last night and on my iphone's itunes top ten by the time I was driving home today.

on the wfmu beat, seven second delay (where I steal many gags from lately) and nardwuar are both awesome.

they gave nardwuar a show?

xp

keep listening n/a

downloading the adam mckay episode now. i plan to keep listening, the interview was great and he has interesting guests.

love seven-second delay

the mckay is okay, but it's the ones where he gets super personal that are really fascinating. you can't miss the carlos mencia ones, or the robin williams one, or the judd apatow ones.

ok - but the itunes app won't really let you go back further than like episode 80 or so (only has the past 50 eps) and I'm lazy about plugging my iphone in to the computer. but i'm pretty sure the apatow episodes are available from the itunes app.

you must find the strength within to plug your phone into your computer

ugh

u can do it

Do it clap clap clap

The Maria Bamford episode is my favorite.

I love that episode!

The Paul Scheer ep from a couple of weeks back was pretty great too. Took an interesting turn with his family issues.

Loved the live ep with Charles Fleischer too, dude is out there & hilarious.

Yes Paul Scheer episode was great. Dude had a crazy/awesome adolescence.

Ive never been sure where I stand in Sarah Silverman, but her WTF interview endeared me to her.

Worst part of WTF podcast: his theme song. Ughhhh.

UYD's practice of using different bumper music every episode has turned me on to some great stuff.

I went to the uyd live show in santa monica a couple months ago.. so rad. went to the bar after and my friends talked a bit with jonathan and seth. seth seemed kinda nuts to me. his eyes were super wide open and he was chomping the shit out of some gum.. but I guess when you listen to the show so much its not very surprising that hes a little off.

If you leave a voice mail for Seth and leave your number, he calls you back. Have had a few lol/ o_O phone conversations with him.

LOCK THE GATES

WHY DOES IT SAY LOCK THE GATES

WE DOING THIS?

Why are his fans so offended by dildos?

I never got that either.

i don't understand any of the stuff at the beginning. Also i'd like to support dude through his endorsement stuff but --i don't know about the rest of you but i do my best to avoid the brands of coffee that make me shit my pants (i see you Cafe Bustelo)

coffee company = endorsement
endorsement = supports dude's podcast
poop jokes = "funny"
funny = essential for comedy podcast

that's how I break it down to an extent.

maybe but that's a big risk to take on a series of presumptions

Gonna do this.

see also the new Judge John Hodgman podcast from maximum fun dudes

WHY DOES IT SAY LOCK THE GATES

it's a sample of Maron in Almost Famous

^I figured this out a few weeks ago bcz he mentioned the line in a podcast

man that movie launched a thousand stars headlong into the stratosphere

I still giggle at El Chupacabra's "WTF" in the intro.

WAIT FOR IT

the paul f. tompkins podcast is kind of a letdown.. but man, theres a shit ton of podcasts out there to choose from. what a time to be alive.

It's kind of fun to listen to the tompkast late at night with the lights off.

I didn't have the patience for it, but I could see the late night scenario working well.

I get annoyed with the chattiness on Nerdist...but their Rainn Wilson ep was pretty killer

Tompkins' John C. Reilly impression is killer.

I think I have been genuinely fooled by that on Comedy Death Ray?

can't get enough of Tompkins' Ice-T tbh

I just listened to my first Nerdist podcast ever last night, the one with Donal Logue. SO GOOD! I don't know which one to d/l next, though. Maybe the Rainn Wilson one?

Rainn = yes!!

The Jonathan Coulton one is pretty good also

the extra-long live Nerdist with Craig Ferguson was great

It's kind of fun to listen to the tompkast late at night with the lights off.

This is key. It's kind of the grown up version of a kid with a tape recorder doing weird shit and imaginary radio shows.

It does go on too long, though.
