The Maria Bamford episode is my favorite.
― macaroni rascal (polyphonic), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 18:16 (thirteen years ago) link
I love that episode!
The Paul Scheer ep from a couple of weeks back was pretty great too. Took an interesting turn with his family issues.
Loved the live ep with Charles Fleischer too, dude is out there & hilarious.
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 18:35 (thirteen years ago) link
Yes Paul Scheer episode was great. Dude had a crazy/awesome adolescence.
Ive never been sure where I stand in Sarah Silverman, but her WTF interview endeared me to her.
Worst part of WTF podcast: his theme song. Ughhhh.
UYD's practice of using different bumper music every episode has turned me on to some great stuff.

I went to the uyd live show in santa monica a couple months ago.. so rad. went to the bar after and my friends talked a bit with jonathan and seth. seth seemed kinda nuts to me. his eyes were super wide open and he was chomping the shit out of some gum.. but I guess when you listen to the show so much its not very surprising that hes a little off.

If you leave a voice mail for Seth and leave your number, he calls you back. Have had a few lol/ o_O phone conversations with him.

i don't understand any of the stuff at the beginning. Also i'd like to support dude through his endorsement stuff but --i don't know about the rest of you but i do my best to avoid the brands of coffee that make me shit my pants (i see you Cafe Bustelo)
― antexit, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 21:19 (thirteen years ago) link
coffee company = endorsementendorsement = supports dude's podcastpoop jokes = "funny"funny = essential for comedy podcast
that's how I break it down to an extent.

the paul f. tompkins podcast is kind of a letdown.. but man, theres a shit ton of podcasts out there to choose from. what a time to be alive.
― strongly recommend. unless you're a bitch (mayor jingleberries), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 23:27 (thirteen years ago) link
It's kind of fun to listen to the tompkast late at night with the lights off.
― macaroni rascal (polyphonic), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 23:29 (thirteen years ago) link
I didn't have the patience for it, but I could see the late night scenario working well.
I get annoyed with the chattiness on Nerdist...but their Rainn Wilson ep was pretty killer
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Tompkins' John C. Reilly impression is killer.
― macaroni rascal (polyphonic), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:27 (thirteen years ago) link
I think I have been genuinely fooled by that on Comedy Death Ray?
can't get enough of Tompkins' Ice-T tbh
― i'm assuming that it's tity boi, host of the mixtape (sic), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:45 (thirteen years ago) link
I just listened to my first Nerdist podcast ever last night, the one with Donal Logue. SO GOOD! I don't know which one to d/l next, though. Maybe the Rainn Wilson one?
― Lightning Is For Babies (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Rainn = yes!!
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:56 (thirteen years ago) link
The Jonathan Coulton one is pretty good also
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Thursday, 2 December 2010 00:58 (thirteen years ago) link
the extra-long live Nerdist with Craig Ferguson was great

This is key. It's kind of the grown up version of a kid with a tape recorder doing weird shit and imaginary radio shows.

Best Show, obviously. The podcast to end all podcasts. Also the Tompkast and Judge John Hodgman.
Really can't believe no one has said: SUPEREGO. That one is really great too.

my ex was super into the best show.. I never got into it.. seemed way too samey to me.
― strongly recommend. unless you're a bitch (mayor jingleberries), Thursday, 2 December 2010 17:53 (thirteen years ago) link
in the same way that STRAWBERRIES are samey, or BLOWJOBS

I love the best show but it is definitely not for everyone.
― macaroni rascal (polyphonic), Thursday, 2 December 2010 17:57 (thirteen years ago) link
the endless references to solo records by obscure members of 70s hard rock bands just kill me for some reason

The recent Gems show where "Bernie Taupin" calls in is awesome:

wtf ep with apatow was really good, esp. the clips of 16-yr-old apatow talking to leno, seinfeld and shandling. i really don't understand people who know what they want to do with their lives starting from their childhood but i have a respect for them.
listening to bamford episode now, also good

does she talk in that funny voice?
i really like maria bamford, but i imagine if they're digging deep it's gonna come up with some psychologicall upsetting stuff
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Thursday, 2 December 2010 19:51 (thirteen years ago) link
the most psychologically damaging anecdote I remember from that episode is her being hired to play a bajoran holocaust victim for some traveling deep space nine theme park show.
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 2 December 2010 19:56 (thirteen years ago) link
? that must have been a different show, this one is about her abusive ex-boyfriend and her love of 12-step programs and her psychological problems as a teen/college student

still had to skip 15 minutes of maron rambling about some b.s. though
