KING OF BLOGOSPHERE posted:How many of the comedy death rays have people doing characters? I listened to 63 and 62 after hearing how many people rave about it, and they were both awesome for the first 30 minutes and then some lame jerk came in doing a dumb character and completely ruined the rest of the show. I just started listening to the CDR podcasts after finally catching up on Marc Maron's (I started that one from the beginning too), and it's my new favorite. Scott Aukerman plays a great straight man for the character bits. RightClickSaveAs fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Aug 7, 2010 |

Strange Matter posted:The only song that CDR played that ever really made me laugh was one where a guy was playing an acoustic guitar and singing a soft, breathy song and gradually falls asleep because of how dull his own music is, and eventually falls off his chair. Jimmy Pardo's only hosted a few episodes so far, but he's pretty vocal about not caring for comedy songs either, and avoids playing them as much as possible. He introduced me to a non-comedy song that I absolutely love, Simon Scardanelli's Fish out of Water. I went and bought it on Itunes after hearing the show.

DangerDummy! posted:Is Tig Notaro actually a comedian? I've only experienced her on random podcasts and she's always goddamn death. The Doug Loves Movies she was on was especially painful, she single-handedly brought the show to a dead stop several times. I guess it can be kind of funny to be the monkey wrench in the works under the right circumstances, but when everyone else is just having fun and riffing about movies and stuff it's really terrible and unfunny.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I posted it earlier on in the thread, but I figure, in case anyone just wants to give it a quick try, I humbly suggest Ask Mr Biggs. I wouldn't repost if it wasn't a fantastic-yet-infrequent-podcast/show. It's also worth mentioning how really well it's recorded, the audio quality is excellent, and there's a lot of low-key background stuff going on constantly throughout the episodes that isn't necessary but really enhances the comedy. Rupert Buttermilk posted:Anyway, do you have any problems subscribing/downloading their stuff from iTunes? It won't let me get the old episodes from there anymore, and the new one doesn't show up.

Oh man, this day started off really lovely but got so much better when I got to listen to both a Lithgow episode of DLM AND a new Pod F. Tompkast. They were both fantastic. Also if Paul F. Tompkins had mentioned it before I missed it, but he's confirmed now that his episodes will be coming out on the first of every month. Now I can stop mashing the update button every day!

Paul F. Tompkins and his wife were on the latest Dork Forest (Jackie Kashian's podcast). They nerd out about clothing accessories and older video games a bit. I really can't get into the other shows so far, but this one was interesting. The show itself focuses on really specific and, well, dorky topics, which is the point, but it makes it really hit and miss to listen to. One of the recent ones is just talking about Broadway musicals for the whole show, which I couldn't get into at all.

That was such a great episode. I did love how Marc was ribbing him a little bit about the "you've stolen my ESSENCE" thing, but at the end of it you really feel like you get a different perspective on the guy.

If you've never had a chance to watch the magic that is Huell Howser you've been missing out. I first heard about his show from listening to Loveline, where Adam Carolla would always talk about it. Huell Howser visits the Bagdad Cafe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImpGsMenmSs There's a bunch more on Youtube but that's probably the best. The punchline to the Burt Lancaster painting is priceless.

Jay and Silent Bob Get Old has been a really good listen so far. The first 8 episodes or so are all about the story of Jason Mewes and his addiction problems, which he's told before on his blog. It's a crazy tale and Kevin Smith is a really good storyteller. I'm just starting in on the newer episodes so I'm not quite sure how the content is going to be from here, but if you've ever read "Me and My Shadow" and liked it, definitely give the earlier shows a listen.

Majorian posted:Weirdly enough, I laugh the hardest when people comment on the theme fanfare, ie: PFT as ALW "conducting" it, or Greg Proops thinking they were being invaded by the Carthaginians. Cyberthug Radio is fantastic, I have never been happier to be wrong about something (I didn't think it was going to be an actual thing). Also Mayhem Miller was on the Nerdist today, that guy always brings it no matter what show he's on. I'm usually completely repelled by anything to do with MMA, but this guy is funny and cool and not the gigantic musclehead I tend to (probably unfairly) associate with the sport and it's awful fans, who tend to sport TapOut shirts and douchebag attitudes (which is something they make fun of on the show).

brainsforbrains posted:And last, to the Adam Corrolla podcast-it's poo poo. He was a smug dick on Loveline. He was a stilted charisma-devoid rear end in a top hat on The Man Show(and that's saying something). He's an ignorant cockbag on his podcast. gently caress Adam Corrolla. Anyway that's some pretty strong hyperbole, it's not nearly that bad. You don't always have to agree with someone to find them entertaining. I wish they'd switch the show over to a weekly format though and just focus on the guests and other strong points of the show, as some of the episodes are a stretch to fill the time, but he seems committed to the 4-5 days a week for some reason.

Civil posted:He sounds like a libertarian more than anything else. Regardless, he should keep politics off his show, because he's just not good at it, and comes off like an idiot discussing it. I still listen to most episodes, even the ones that don't sound that promising often end up having something entertaining, and I'll get hooked again. I think he repeats himself admirably little for someone who's spent many thousands of hours doing the same style of talking into a microphone.

Yeticopter posted:I'm trying to expand on my podcasting horizons but I don't know where to go first. Another option that seems to be really popular is to find a podcast you hate and keep listening to it so you can bitch about it nonstop in this thread! One thing I will say is if you listen to Comedy Film Nerds from the beginning, the audio quality is terrible for the first two or three shows, then gets massively better as they get good equipment. The show has really found its stride now, I love these guys.

Speaking of games on podcasts, today's Carolla show had another episode of Gaywalking, which is an example of a good one. It's easy and fun to follow and play along with. Totally Topical Tivo Trivia is another they do infrequently that's really well put together.

I found out about CFN through this thread and quickly turned into my favorite comedy podcast, check out episode #40 with Laura House if you've been sleeping on these guys. They also just had Brian Posehn on. They got into horror movies a little bit, I was hoping they'd go deeper but Graham and Chris don't seem to care for the genre much themselves.

Getting people he didn't really know and were more at the fringes of the comedy scene: Rollins, Gallagher, Tobolowski, Smith. Yeah that was a stupid criticism, especially considering he's a comedian so he's going to tend to interview, you know, comedians.

wafflesnsegways posted:All of those people are in comedy in some way or another except Ira Glass. And when he branches out to someone like Ira Glass, the episode stands out. He should do more of that. wafflesnsegways posted:But his guests are all the same! They're all his buddies from the comedy scene 15-20 years ago. They all tell the same stories about comedy clubs. Talk to some writers or... anybody else really. Regular people, whatever. He's a good interviewer, but all the interviewees sound the same. He had to go through some hoops to interview Ira Glass. He does a show out of his garage, why would you expect him to not interview people he knows and people who are in the same business? He's had writers on in the past as well, so that further invalidates your point. And it's already been covered but what politicians exactly are going to sit down on the show, even assuming he wants to talk about politics, which he's said he mostly stays out of now.
