comedy podcast thread

[badhat]

best show, comedy death ray, pod f tomkast, nerdist, doug loves movies, adam carolla, never not funny, etc etc...

i tend to prefer the ones with more conversation and fewer bits - DLM and nerdist really work for me. but it is truly the golden age of comedy podcasts.

[nefarious]

i tend to prefer the ones with more conversation and fewer bits.

have you listened to superego?

[badhat]

nuh uh

tell me more

[prince polo]

how about marc maron's show? or is that already too conversational?

[HiveBurner]

WTF is the only one I keep up with, and really the only podcast that has ever kept my attention. I like how personal he is, and like he said on a recent show I like his arc of "trying to become a better person."

[badhat]

i keep meaning to check out marons show

[neopolitan]

You Look Nice Today.

They just came out with their first new episode in nearly a year.

[neopolitan]

also like greg fitzsimmons' podcast.

[badhat]

ive liked fitzsimmons a lot on other stuff - nerdist and carolla in particular

[ifear]

The Bugle is pretty great. News and satire stuff by Andy Zaltzman and John Oliver. Who are amusing.
Haven't listened in over a year though, so it might have gone off the boil.

[Subbacultcha]

WTF podcast w/ Marc Maron
Doug Loves Movies w/ Doug Bensen
The Nerdist w/ Chris Hardwick
The Mike O'Meara Show (warning: old radio deejay. mostly conversational, but there are some bits)
The Don Geronimo Show (warning: old radio deejay. mostly conversational, but there are some bits)
The Joe Rogan Experience

I wish I could listen to more but I have a hard enough time keeping up with these as well as several other non-comedy podcasts... Most of them I listen to them at 2x speed on the iphone.

Wiretap with Jonathan Goldstein from CBC Radio 1 is amazing

[neopolitan]

It's always fantastic when Maron and Fitzsimmons interview each other.

[spix et chicho]

was listening to this best show with PFT last night on the bus home from toronto and just lol'ing so hard, probably waking everyone up
http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the- ... i=84327541

when they started playing clips from the last few minutes of west wing episodes i lost it

[grammatron]

WTF and Fitzdog Radio are the only two I really keep up with.

[HiveBurner]

I wonder how long WTF is going to go, because he sort of runs his interviews on personal acquaintance for the most part, and the ones where he doesn't aren't usually as memorable

[neopolitan]

thats not true. it seems like wtf developed some sort of a buzz, which helped him land robin williams, carolos mencia, judd apatow, and some others that led to some of his best interviews.

[HiveBurner]

Yeah I should have added the exception for really famous people. If he can keep up that it should go well, though not the only ones I'd like

[brent]

i still really like jordan jesse go

[saranclaps]

I liked the Ira Glass episode of Dave Hill's podcast.

[jewels]

I like the Monday Morning Podcast with Bill Burr, but I could see it being boring to a lot of people.

it's really conversational.

[port]

Nerdist is the shit

[badhat]

hardwick really just seems like the best dude

[badhat]

he's like incapable of negativity and such a cheerleader for his friends but never comes off as cloying

[ghostmouth]

Ron & Fez

[badhat]

also only recently realized that hardwick does the Doug Loves Movies theme

[Asian Santa Baby]

Carolla & WTF are the ones i listen to as soon as they're uploaded.
I'll listen to Nerdist and Fitzdog on occasion as well.

[badhat]

carolla is frustrating cuz i think hes one of the sharper guys in comedy... just his ability to riff on anything at the drop of a hat and have something amusing to say about it, but the un-PC thing gets so grating sometimes.... its like... ok we get it dude


but god its amazing how prolific his show is.

[andrei]

i still really like jordan jesse go

never listened to this, but the sound of young america is pretty comedy-centric a lot of the time and i used to listen to that quite a bit

when do you guys find the time to listen to podcasts, btw? most of the day i find myself in a situation where it's not tenable, because it would draw my concentration away or whatever. i basically just stockpile episodes i'd like to check out eventually and then wait for a long bus ride or something

Yeah, when they were experimenting with the 90 minute format, I would fall asleep as soon as he got to the interview portion of it.
I could listen to him rant for hours.
