bring in da girls

cyberthug radio is pretty good too

I agree with this, but there hasn't been an episode in two weeks and it's not on the Earwolf site anymore. Think it's dead, sadly.

man that sucks...

wonder what happened.

it was a really good niche too, vibe meets CDR.

[badhat]

holy shit that new DLM with everyone in the world is the nerdiest thing ever

nerdgasm

[brent]

yeah it was pretty awesome

i have never been a big fan of aukerman but thought he was hilarious on there

my favorite tweet of the year, by seth morris as bob ducca (from comedy death-ray):

What exactly does "legally annoying" mean and can a bus driver declare me that?

[badhat]

Hey Wolfpack - we've been hearing your requests for info regarding CTR, and haven't been able to discuss it for a while. But we can now unfortunately announce that Cyber Thug and Miles Archer have decided not to continue doing their show. This was not a creative decision - the show was not canceled, nor was it given any direction at all by anyone at the Earwolf Network. This is purely their decision not to continue with us. As fans of them and the show, we hope they will start it somewhere on the web in the near or distant future - starting perhaps by jacking some other fool's podcast - and of course, if they do, we will be the first to alert you to where you can find it!

We apologize for getting you all excited about something that was perhaps premature, but at least we got to hear two great episodes. And if you're disappointed, please let them hear that you'd like to see it somewhere in the future.

Exciting announcements regarding upcoming shows on the way in the new year!

raccoons ftw

how weird was it in that doug loves movies holiday thing when kevin pollack said 'im working on a show for adult swim with jason lee' and the crowd was laughing thinking he was joking

[Foob]

*sonic screwdriver sound*

i fixed the mic!

oh god that killed me

someone keep graham elwood away from podcasts forever

[nefarious]

someone keep graham elwood away from podcasts forever

no way.

[brent]

yeah that guy sucks

even the other comedians hate him

[pinkerton]

for some reason i'm really liking Who Charted? w Dragon Boy Suede and Weirdest Kulap. It's not particularly funny or insightful, but I guess It makes me feel connected knowing what the top 5 songs in America are every week for the first time in 10+ years

eddie pepitone and maron on WTF Live was pretty spectacular

[badhat]

this WTF outtakes ep is really great.

does anybody know the story behind the Lost WTF live ep with destefano that he cant air but wont say why?

[badhat]

also listening to the CDR highlights show was the first time my wife heard iBrain

she was dying

the funniest part is patton in the background expressing his disgust

[badhat]

glitter is the garbage first ep is pretty terrible so far

is anybody else listening? does it get better?

its like... evan: the podcast but without the music reccs.

yeah my first time hearing that too and i was losing my shit
still not as good as bill cosby bukowski's jelloems, though

[Disturbed]

GitG has grown on me. Very different (read: ultragay) sensibility to most other podcasts.

The Thrilling Adventure Hour has started tentatively podcasting, I think they'll be putting up longer stuff later this month.

Superego is the funniest podcast there is. They improvise sketches (presented in the mostly-meaningless framework of psychological "case studies") and then edit them down and do some production. Get season 2 before they start season 3 (and begin charging for season 2) or you'll be sorry. The character Shunt McGuppin, legendary country artist, is recording an album. Can't wait. "You Don't Like To Fuck Me (So Why Am I Still Here?)" has been stuck in my head for months.

loved fitzdog on maron

just awesome all around

maron on WTF too.

[Markman]

loved fitzdog on maron

maron on WTF too.

Just recently gave Maron a try after hearing his interview on the Nerdist. I'm not completely sold on him. His interviews are great but his comedy/rants at the start of the podcast aren't great in my opinion. Comedians who swear to try and get laughs rather than say something intelligent I find are a little lazy. Don't get me wrong, I think he is better than 90% of the stuff out there and WTF has probably quickly become my #4 podcast, but his opening (What the Fuck buddies, What the fuck friends, what the fuckonauts, etc) and the shitty (no pun intended) plug he does for the coffee rub me the wrong way.

FYI, my top 4 podcasts are probably Nerdist (almost perfect with interesting guests), Rich Eisen NFL network podcast (outstanding for what it is, and I want to be Rich Eisens friend), Freakonomics (really interesting but wish it was more regular) and WTF

maron on WTF too.

grabbed both of these before leaving the house today

I loved the last CDR with patton and rob huebel

[badhat]

youre taking the swearing thing to seriously, its not lazy, its just sorta his schtick.

also liking the interviews but not the rants i dont get at all.

i could listen to him rant all goddamn fucking day.

[badhat]

the hardest i've laughed at maron lately was "power of now? how bout power of......




takes sip





POOOOOOW!!!!!!"

haha, yes

[Fullscreen]

maron calling out chris hardwick's name-dropping on the nerdist was pretty good

[badhat]

tangent: is Men of a Certain Age any good?

watched the pilot and it didnt make much impression one way or another other than depressing me about how fat andre braugher has gotten.

[brent]

dana gould is kind of annoying, right

[Jouster]

I don't think swearing is schtick at all, he's just a guy who happens to swear a lot.

Men of a Certain Age is the best show on TNT, that much I can tell you.

[badhat]

i think its a conscious thing, but in anycase i dont find it lazy or whatever. that was my main point.

i think hes an incredibly thoughful speaker.

[nakedlunch]

got about 15 min into the nerdist with maron and it cut off... for whatever reason the full thing didn't load onto my ipod. angry.
