In the Let's Talk About Loveline thread, I noticed a few posts from people asking why we don't have a comedy podcast thread. Well here it is! ![]() I figured this first post can be used to list all the great comedy podcasts out there. This is just *my* list of favorites, but if you have more, feel free to talk about 'em and I'll update the OP. Eventually I'd like to separate these into further sub-categories (interview-style, live performances, etc), but for now, I'll just lump 'em all together. edit: When you suggest a podcast, try and point out a specific episode that you love to give people an idea where to start! I'll eventually give my own list for the ones I listed. Most (if not all) of these can be found in iTunes, but I've also provided RSS feeds and/or other links to download the shows directly. Don't be afraid to mention your own podcast! This is the place to talk about it, and get some pretty nice exposure. The Adam Carolla Show quote:"Yeah, I mean c'mon! I'm sick of this 'swiper no swiping!' what the hell? I used to play football! My dad never came to my games, but I'm not bitter! Hey legitimate movie star, I made a movie once! Maybe you've seen it. Let me tell you about the ins and outs of the movie biz... Hey! My personal friend that I hired as a producer: quit loving the show up/close the door I can hear you/ p.s. you're a Jew! Let me tell you about how I hate Mexicans, and in particular the Mexicans I hire to do my menial labor. Hey famous guest, did that make you feel awkward? Did I mention this whole show is taking place in a garage full of my sweet cars that I own? Let me tell you all about cars whether you like it or not. Here's where I bitch about how I hate Los Angeles. How many times can I say 'swing a hammer' so people know I was once a working man? You guys know Dr. Drew right? Let me talk poo poo about him. Has is been 15 minutes since I told everyone I was on TV? Oh yeah, my kid's a human being. Since I once worked construction I feel I have open license to be a racist douchebag. I was on Dancing with the Stars and they just didn't understand my genius! Oh, famous guest, that's an interesting story/topic/idea, let me put the brakes on the whole show to tell you I know how to hang drywall or frame a door or fix a carburetor like I'm the Patron Saint of Screwdrivers." quote:Jimmy and Stef get together to talk about comedy, and everything else on their minds, in this thought provoking and sometimes silly hour, sometimes two hours, of funny. quote:Based on the live stage show the L.A. Times calls "one of the most prestigious nights of [comedy] in the country," Comedy Bang Bang brings the country's best comedians straight to your home. quote:Movie reviews by stand-up comics and filmmakers Graham Elwood and Chris Mancini quote:Comedian Doug Benson (Last Comic Standing, Super High Me) invites his friends to sit down and discuss his first love: movies! quote:An extremely funny podcast about all things bread. quote:It's a podcast hosted by the great comic Greg Fitzsimmons quote:Jordan, Jesse GO! is an irreverent talk show, hosted by Jesse Thorn (The Sound of Young America) and Jordan Morris (Fuel TV). Listen in as Jesse, Jordan and celebrity guests discuss high-fives, goofing off and the travails of being a young adult. Be advised that while the show is by no means adult entertainment, it sometimes contains swearing and frank sex talk. quote:Comedian, Bill Burr, rants and rambles Monday mornings via cell phone for cynical insights into the world of comedy and touring. quote:I am Chris Hardwick. I am on TV a lot and have a blog at nerdist.com. This podcast is basically just me talking about stuff and things with my two nerdy friends Jonah Ray and Matt Mira, and usually someone more famous than all of us. Occasionally we swear because that is fun. I hope you like it, but if you don't I'm sure you will not hesitate to unfurl your rage in the 'reviews' section because that's how the Internet works. quote:"Never Not Funny" is a party conversation with one of the funniest men on the planet: comedian and TV personality Jimmy Pardo ("The Tonight Show," "That '70s Show," "The Surreal Life"). Every week, he sits down with producer Matt Belknap and a guest from the world of comedy to shoot the breeze, share stories and laugh at life. The free-flowing discussion can lead anywhere, but whether Jimmy's talking about growing up in the '70s and '80s, his unbridled love of classic rock or facing the trials of modern life, it's bound to strike a chord with listeners of all ages, and it's guaranteed to make you laugh quote:Award-Worthy Comedian PAUL F. TOMPKINS Presents Sketch, Live Recordings and Conversation, All Whilst Taking a Healthy Dip in The Stream of Consciousness. Featuring Clips from Mr. Tompkins's Largo Variety Show, The Music of Eban Schletter and Absurd Portrayals of Ice-T, Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Cake Boss and Others of Notoriety. quote:Pop My Culture is a bi-weekly(ish) podcast hosted by comedic actors and improvisers Cole Stratton and Vanessa Ragland. Join these two entertainment nerds and their special celebrity guests as they discuss movies, music, television, celebrity gossip, etc. without all those pesky “serious” topics like politics, religion and the environment. I mean, you can tune into Fresh Air for that. We’ll just tackle the trivial watercooler stuff, ok? quote:Yet another comedy podcast about indie rock and sports. Hosted by the Sklar Brothers, this brand new podcast will feature guests, characters, and lots of great bits (presumably) from the Sklars. quote:Comedian Greg Proops is smarter than you. quote:Saving America from herself, America through the eyes of two American Americans. Seth and Jonathan are the best podcasters currently podcasting right now, they take a medium that is usually poo poo and turn it into pure comedy, it's also a dancecast and performance art. quote:Comic Michelle Biloon drags you and comedians like Doug Benson, Maria Bamford, and James Adomian to the country's favorite tourist traps. quote:Welcome to Who Charted, a weekly podcast delving into the hottest music, movies, and television for the week. quote:Comedian Marc Maron is tackling the most complex philosophical question of our day - WTF? He'll get to the bottom of it with help from comedian friends, celebrity guests and the voices in his own head. You loved him on Morning Sedition. You kinda liked him on The Marc Maron Show. You tolerated him on Break Room Live. Now, embrace him on a show from which he cannot be fired - WTF with Marc Maron. The following is a list of goon-run podcasts. If you have one, mention it in this thread and I'll update the OP!

Mr. D Bewildering posted:drat, dude! You just gave me entertainment for the week! Yeah, it's really great to see stand-ups getting into it. It's the perfect medium for getting funny stuff out to a wide audience consistently. The "indie" or "alternative" comics are especially embracing it. I'm expecting more and more to hop on the podcast bandwagon soon (Sklar Bros and Paul F. Tompkins just started on August 1st).

With Teeth It's a podcast about popular/new music done by me and a buddy of mine. Language is extremely harsh and we update it every 1-2 weeks. I have been told its "Kinda funny".

Thank you for this Thread. You've all listed a lot of REALLY good podcasts. There is a podcast called RISK! Hosted by Kevin Allison formerly of The State. http://risk-show.com/ It is along the lines of The Moth podcast but I've noticed that, for the most part, the story tellers are mostly comedians and mostly hilarious. On a side note, I subscribe to the premium Never Not Funny feed and I can't get enough of it. It's well worth the price and the video just adds to the fun. They also have individual episodes up if you don't want to pay $20 for 26 episodes and some bonus ones in between. I think Marc Maron has a premium feed too, which I'm tempted to subscribe to as well. Don't be hesitant to pay for a good podcast or two, especially from very funny comedians like Jimmy Pardo and Marc Maron. Edit: There's also Walking with Michelle. It's updated infrequently but is a pretty funny one too. http://walkingwithmichelle.blip.tv/rss NecronSchmecron fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Aug 4, 2010 |

I listen to most of the podcast in the OP but I also really like Low Budget FM: http://lowbudgetfm.com The producer of Fitzdog Radio and Carollas podcast + a guy who does radio on KLSX basically just talk poo poo. They occasionally do scripted bits that aren't funny but for the most part I find them hilarious.

What! No Bugle? Shame on you. The Bugle, Audio Newspaper for a Visual World quote:...is the greatest work of comedic, political podcastery ever created. Misters Andy Zaltzman and John Oliver put out an issue each week, that will inevitably change the world radically. Phill and Phil's Perfect Ten quote:The Perfect Ten' involves Phill Jupitus and Phil Wilding discussing ten topics, with a mix of questions submitted by both listeners and the pair themselves. The show usually opens with a summary of the format and listener emails sharing where they listen from before the show proper begins. As part of the rules of the show, the duo must cover all 10 topics within 30 minutes and are not allowed to return to previous topics once they have rung the bell and moved on. There are no rules for how long they can talk about each topic, but they must cover ALL of them within the 30 minute period. Each episode finishes with a comedic summary of what the pair have learned from each show.

It was voted best podcast a few times and that. Tears In A Vial fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Aug 4, 2010 |

I thought the one with his daughter was adorable, but the best ones -- in my mind -- are the ones with Walt Flannigan; not because Scott Mosier isn't good, more that Kevin Smith seems to take more of a back seat when he has a guest on. When it's just Kevin and Scott, Kevin talks, almost without pause, about about how much he likes to gently caress for like an hour and it does my head in.

I'm kind of surprised that I haven't seen this yet, but the Mike O'Meara show is pretty good. It's essentially what got me into podcasts in the first place.

Edit: ^^^^ beaten by 5 minutes, dammit. Seriously, listen to this one podcast if you listen to any of them. The Mike Omeara Show deserves more than just a casual mention. It's incredibly funny. All of them were widely syndicated (the Don and Mike show, Big O & Dukes) on terrestrial radio and it's a daily hour of professionally created content. You can find it on itunes or use the RSS feeds from the website, plug it right into the 'listen' android app - either way works perfectly.

For straight up comedy, try the Ask Mr. Biggs show. https://www.askmrbiggs.com Basically, Roger, the meek host, and Mr Biggs, the overbearing, jumpsuit-wearing know-it-all answer questions from callers. The best part is, the calls are actual, real calls to other shows that are edited to fit the show, with the original host removed. For a good comedy-plus-stories, I can't suggest The Tobolowsky Files enough. Stories of life, love, and the entertainment industry, as told by character actor, Stephen Tobolowsky. Based off of the 2005 independent film "Stephen Tobolowsky's Birthday Party", this podcast is filled with both serious and hilarious stories, all involving Stephen throughout his life and career. I've finally caught up to the latest episode, and I would easily say that Stephen Tobolowksy is my favourite person that I haven't met yet. https://www.thetobolowskyfiles.com

You Look Nice Today http://youlooknicetoday.com/ Three hosts who met through twitter discuss their pasts, the minutia of everyday life, and a series of increasingly improbable business models. Updated very, very infrequently, but hands down one of the most consistently funny podcasts I've ever listened to. All of the episodes are great, but the three part special episode featuring John Hodgman is as good as place as any to start. I can't hype this enough, incredibly under appreciated, incredibly funny. Fast Karate for the Gentleman http://www.daveandjoel.com/ Self described as "a semi-weekly podcast about stupid cartoons and vidjergames", it's basically two very nerdy, very funny friends shooting the poo poo about video games, food, episodes of 24, or incredibly bad anime shows. I first saw it suggested in a previous podcast thread on GBS, and was put off at first by how geeky it sounded, and was pleasantly surprised when I gave it a chance. Every episode feels like two funny nerd friends of yours showed up late at night with a six pack and some terrible cartoon on VHS. Good episode to start with: http://tinyurl.com/2evvnkh The guys try to discuss some cheesy old ninja anime movie, but get distracted by how stupid the whole concept is and discuss baby bombs instead.

Too bad they got kicked off of WJFK just so they could make more room for lovely sports radio. Although, funny enough, the radio station that broadcasts WJFK's stuff here got sold off after they switched to the sports radio format. It actually changed hands a couple times before turning into an alternative music station. Guess the sports talk format just wasn't that popular.

Frank and Erik Internet Famous has become one of my favorite podcasts. It's just two twenty-something guys talking about life. The premise may not sound that interesting, but you'll be hooked after listening to an episode. http://frankanderik.com/ Also, somebody has to mention the goon podcast, Lou Reads the Internet for You! Lou goes to different forums and reads selected posts. Another one that probably sounds mundane at first, but is actually hilarious. The best parts are when he has to stop in the middle of a post and laugh at how ridiculous it is. http://loureads.com/

Jon Hamm and Jimmy Pardo. Just great chemistry between the three of them. Hamm (of Mad Men fame) really knows comedy. Adam Carolla and Patton Oswalt.
