Not to stir up that "issue" again, but that episode of NNF really turned me around on her comedy (or at least her storytelling).

Edit: for the better, that is.

I have a big backlog of Judge John Hodgman thanks to having most of the podcast content being unfunny random people. I wish the callers would step back a little and let him do his thing.

Yeah, I feel this way, too. I'm never in a big rush to hear it because of that. The best part of the show is probably when they clear the docket because it's jsut John and Jesse talking and being pretty funny. I almost wish the whole show was like that.

"Comedy Death Ray" was a good name. Even Terry Gross took a dig at what a terrible name "The Sound of Young America" was.

I guess for me "Bulleye" just sounds so generic, even if TSoYA sounds dumb it's been around long enough to justify that dumbness.

Even if The Sound of Young America was originally named as a joke, it's gotten increasingly awkward as Jesse has gotten balder and crotchetier.

To you, but not to anyone who Jesse is actually interested in justifying the name to. Public radio station managers would frequently reject the show out of hand because of the name and demography the name appealed to (which was quickly becoming "no-one" as a 30 year old was regularly interviewing 40+ year olds claiming it was the sound of "young" America)

But what's the point of sitting there and making long winded points about how he is an unfunny rear end in a top hat? Are you just trying to make a point? If so what exactly is the point? Should he stop making the podcast and doing comedy? I don't get why you are coming out and making big long posts about him being an rear end in a top hat. Like you seem really bothered by him.

The long winded posts came after people started making long winded posts defending Maron and making unkind generalizations about people who don't like him.

I listened to a few but it became clear to me (although maybe this is supposed to be part of the charm) that people are trying very hard to be funny. And usually when people try to be funny around comedians they make themselves appear very very unfunny.

Anyone else not able to download any podcasts lately? Every single one of the 9 I regularly listen to keep giving me a libsyn page with "The information you requested could not be retrieved." Googling that brings up a bunch of posts from around the web circa March of last year, but nothing recent. Everyone else seems to be getting them fine. I even installed iTunes but nothing downloads, I get err = 500. Sent an email to libsyn support, dunno what good it'll do as everyone else seems to download them just fine. Been trying them all off and on since Sunday.

The problem is that you can't connect to libsyn which hosts all of the shows you can't download. So either its your ISP or libsyn is blocking your IP/IP range for some reason (which seems unlikely).

What happens when you visit each of these links:

http://comedydeathrayradio.libsyn.com/
http://traffic.libsyn.com/comedydeathrayradio/CBB_139_MAIN_ODENKIRK_HUSKEY.mp3
http://libsyn.com/3/alt-index.php

Try running this in the command line and then copy/pasting the result here:
tracert comedydeathrayradio.libsyn.com

(To do this, hit Windows Key + R, type in "cmd", then type that, then right click and hit "Mark", then select the whole thing)

If you're on a home network you should unplug your router and modem for a couple of minutes to reset your connection.

The Who Charted? stuff isn't on iTunes, but the CBB Bumbershoot episodes are. If you enjoy Paul F. Tompkins/Andy Daly recurring characters, you'll enjoy it.

That's pretty much all the premium content I've purchased, save some NNF episodes. :)
