bango skank posted:Is John Hodgman really a "celebrity"? I mean, sure he's on the Daily Show occasionally, but he's probably about as recognizable as a Wil Wheaton or a David Faustino. He was the human representation of the PC for several years as well. I'd say he's pretty much a celebrity in the certain nerdy circles. He's really fun to see live because he's really rather clever.

e:f;b I didn't see the new page. To add some content... People may not know that the British version of the Mac/PC ads starred Mitchell and Webb of "Peep Show" and "The Mitchell and Webb Look": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQlZ8t2WDEA&feature=related If you haven't seen these shows, check them out. They're on Netflix streaming. Here's a sample of both. Peep Show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdmcjd7kSWE (NSFW language) Mitchell and Webb Look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEle_DLDg9Y One more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDNgmdGMpuY NotWearingPants fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Feb 23, 2012 |

The difference between Hodgman and most of the other celebrity/comedian podcasts is that he's doing an original show, and he's legitimately funny. The majority of these new podcasts are just cheap ways for C-list comedians to sell their comedy special, their friends comedy specials and get advertising money. No original ideas, just a zany morning show with whacky (scripted) improv bits.

DangerDummy! posted:I think he's continuing a conversation from a couple weeks ago about how the guests on John's show have been pretty annoying lately. Unless I miss my guess, he's being very sarcastic because he likes to get riled up about people saying mean things about podcasts he likes. It's hard to tell with him sometimes. Oh, literal Jimmy!

So I thought John Benjamin's story on girl on guy was the greatest poo poo story ever. Dave Holmes on the most recent live Walking The Room proved me wrong. God I wish he would do a podcast around his time at MTV.

Sometimes it even drops with a partial download for me and I have to download it two or three times. He's probably paying some idiot friend from the old days way too much to have it hosted out of his garage or something.

I'm not sure who is still following Gelmania but the latest episode has an absolutely batshit insane audio play at the end that is almost more of an avant garde horror story than anything else. I loved it.

I saw Brett Gelman last year at the Traverse City comedy fest on a show with Jeff Garlin and Aubrey Plaza. Even though it was a comedy festival it was Traverse City so the room was probably 80% old white people. Brett Gelman thought this would be a great place to read iBrain. I Can't even describe the look on the face of the 90 year old accordion player who was the only other person on stage until Jeff Garlin came out to cut him off. I think the people of Traverse City are too weirdly polite to walk out because I don't think anyone did but that was the most tense I've ever felt a room. The second show was a younger crowd though and he read the whole thing, which I'm not sure he's even done on any podcasts.

I dropped another Lou Reads a couple of days ago. I ran into a fence post while snowboarding last week and I've been a little slow in the brainpan since (even though I didn't hit my brain). Just getting around to telling people about it now. I read from a GBS thread. I can't decide if I should post it in there, too. http://loureads.com/2012/02/29/lou-reads-tales-of-soul-crushing-moments-from-the-something-awful-forums/

I'm almost positive they record every show at the festival but I've looked and it isn't up anywhere. I was planning on volunteering this year, and I would have tried to get that footage, but it was cancelled this time around because of some scheduling conflict. Hopefully next time they do it I'll get my hands on it because it needs to be seen.

I just saw a boycott list of Rush Limbaugh's sponsors and some of the names are the same companies that sponsor most of the podcasts I listen to, including LegalZoom, Carbonite, GoToMyPC, and ProFlowers. But I guess EarWolf and other podcast networks are not really in a financial position to refuse any sponsors, so there's no use criticizing them for it. I already don't use the products/services from those companies so it makes no difference to my life. Jungledisk > Carbonite and GoToMyPC sucks compared to alternatives like TeamViewer.

can someone explain gelmania to me? I tried listening to an episode, would listen to a couple minutes then fast forward 5-10 minutes, and it was the most confusing thing ever. I'd try to stick with it and not fast forward but my brain just couldn't comprehend what was going on

What's wrong with it? It's a structured bunch of skits. A crazy satanic hype rant to open Rap track Recurring voicemail bit A continuing story part Old men arguing skit Large sketch with guests Brett's plugs an outro Except for some crazy production and the heavy, oppressive tone, its a pretty typical format.

Some of his sketches do this in a very subtle way. It's easier to understand when you know that sometimes he's going more for a tone than a punchline (wherein the tone becomes the punchline).

And he also seems like a hippy liberal, so I bet it is a little cathartic for him to act like he does too. The Ronna and Beverly podcast is on Earwolf, and I think it's really funny. You should listen to it. `_`

I've been getting into The Champs lately. Really entertaining podcast that feels refreshingly outside of the Earwolf/Nerdist family by simply having guests of color. Hosted by Neal Brennan and Moshe Kasher and punctured throughout with sound clips from Tim & Eric/Portlandia's DJ Dougpound. Guests have included J.B. Smoove, Sasha Grey, David Allen Grier, Flying Lotus, Lexington Steele, and Blake Griffin.
