Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

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.

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.

LOCK THE GATES

WHY DOES IT SAY LOCK THE GATES

WE DOING THIS?

Why are his fans so offended by dildos?

I never got that either.

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)

coffee company = endorsement
endorsement = supports dude's podcast
poop jokes = "funny"
funny = essential for comedy podcast

that's how I break it down to an extent.

maybe but that's a big risk to take on a series of presumptions

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.

Gonna do this.

see also the new Judge John Hodgman podcast from maximum fun dudes

WHY DOES IT SAY LOCK THE GATES

it's a sample of Maron in Almost Famous

^I figured this out a few weeks ago bcz he mentioned the line in a podcast

man that movie launched a thousand stars headlong into the stratosphere

I still giggle at El Chupacabra's "WTF" in the intro.

WAIT FOR IT

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.

It's kind of fun to listen to the tompkast late at night with the lights off.

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

Tompkins' John C. Reilly impression is killer.

I think I have been genuinely fooled by that on Comedy Death Ray?

can't get enough of Tompkins' Ice-T tbh

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?

Rainn = yes!!

The Jonathan Coulton one is pretty good also

the extra-long live Nerdist with Craig Ferguson was great

It's kind of fun to listen to the tompkast late at night with the lights off.

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.

It does go on too long, though.

Funny:

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.

Best Show gems is nice if all you want is some S&W.

my ex was super into the best show.. I never got into it.. seemed way too samey to me.

in the same way that STRAWBERRIES are samey, or BLOWJOBS

I love the best show but it is definitely not for everyone.

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

whoa bamford ep gets pretty hardcore

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

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.

? 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

isn't it the one where he's driving her after some comedy festival in the boonies?

The stuff about her Dad kind of fascinates me

listening to the louis c.k. two-parter; it's so good! am sort of in love with louis c.k. now

I've never really seen anything with him except a clip from letterman where he talks about how everything is awesome and people are miserable that's really funny. I should watch his TV show.

he is amazing

Louis the TV show is pretty great.

the dane cook WTF is amazing too, where there's 20 mins of cook being actually kind of affable and nice, and maron keeps asking, in various different phrasings, "why does everyone hate you so much? why does everyone say you're an asshole?" and cook gets more and more tetchy and difficult until by the end he's unbearable. this whole podcast kind of reminds me of the interrogation room scenes from homicide: life on the street, but with poop jokes.
