Todd Glass show is like 2 1/2 hours long every week and is wall-to-wall hilarity. The only thing I wish is that the guests were a little bit better. Even with the D-listers every week (Graham Elwood, Henry Phillips, Kevin Farley, etc) it's still great. Probably my favorite podcast right now.
CBB has been letting me down. Three stinkers in the last 5 weeks. This week's was especially bad - Aukerman let Margaret Cho on for some reason, and she sang horribly and made him incredibly awkward the whole show by trying to act like they were still close (they dated in the 90's, Aukerman basically hates her now from what I've read). He was obviously in an uncomfortable place and it made the whole show drag down. Trying to think of one funny joke from this past week and it's not coming.
DLM - Doug needs to blow this out with 2 90 minute+ episodes a month with quality guests, and nothing else. I think Doug's getting tired of playing the Leonard Maltin game every show he does in the country. The fact that it's so easy for him to remain relevant with just that game/reputation has made him uninspired and lazy. Even listening to his comedy albums from 3-5 years ago compared to now, it's like night and day. On the new album he just rambles for 45 minutes and there are like 3 punchlines. He's losing it, probalby needs to take a long break but I know he can't so I guess he's going to be like Kevin Smith where everyone hates him here soon and he has to market his comedy to 13 year olds exclusively.
Improv4humans is great. Relaxed improv, reminds me of a great CBB episode every week.
