That'll do, pig. That'll do.
I've fallen for the Smartest Man in the World Vodkast. Can anyone recommend more like it?

I tried citizen radio but I find Kilstein abrasive and want him to sometimes just enjoy his loving day.

The Filmdrunk frotcast has made me laugh a lot on occasion. The hosts are decent but a lot of their guests are really hilarious. This is the most recent one and it got good pretty fast and kept getting funnier.

I have made it a mission to go every year to at least one event. (This is only my third year coming up, though, so that's not saying a lot!) But for what it's worth, here are my impressions:

- There will invariably be a few last-minute events that are really cool, so sign up for emails and be on the lookout. That's how I scored the Children's Hospital tickets before they sold out.

- Come to think of it, expect that the more popular shows might sell out and plan accordingly. I remember the year my wife and I went to the Paul F. Tompkins show, PFT himself was at the ticket counter desperately trying to find tickets for some of his friends (hope he succeeded :ohdear:).

- Parking will suck for pretty much all the evening events. That's just San Francisco for you, though. Oh, and also admission lines can be pretty long, so you might want to show up an hour or two early if your tickets are unassigned seating.

- I've been to the live Rifftrax the past two years and it was fantastic both times. Bruce McCollough was probably my favorite guest riffer---he had a way of saying the darkest things and making them funny---but Paul F. Tompkins is neverendingly brilliant every time he does one of these. I remember Janet Varney being extremely funny both years, too.

- The Paul F. Tompkins show in 2011 was a lot of fun and makes me mad we don't have our own Largo for him to perform regularly at. I would mention that Gillian Jacobs and Neil Patrick Harris are both great comedic actors, but you probably already know that. He's really, really fit, by the way. (NPH, not Tompkins, though let it be said the latter does cut a dapper figure.) (Also, I am a huge Paul F. Tompkins fan.)

- The Benson Interruption last year was saved by surprise guest co-host Zach Galifianakis. Benson was super baked thanks to doing skillets, but it was cool because Galifianakis kept things going. The line-up was Chris Hardwick (good, but had heard all the material before; got some fun improv bits in during other comedians' performance), Greg Proops (first time I'd seen him live, liked it), Tom Lennon (hilarious), and Michael Ian Black (sadly truncated set, but still great).

- An Evening With Children's Hospital: Lots of fun. Got to see the Mythbusters cast up-close as they were standing in the aisle next to me for a few minutes before being ushered to their (much closer and nicer) seats. Rob Huebel is a giant of a man and he poked my wife during the Q&A because he thought she fell asleep. Also, Ken Marino is much shorter than I imagined.

I don't understand how anyone could think her podcast appearances are not good. Her on YMIW, The Todd Glass Show, and CBB of course - all amazing. She's a little befuddled anytime she's on DLM but I can give her a pass.

What I'm sayin is gently caress the haters Chaz is on my top 5 list of podcast guests. If I had shades and a motorcycle I'd put them on and ride away on it respectively.

I love Chelsea, her stand-up, I talk to her on Twitter, but she sucked on DLM. Which IMO is a generally lovely podcast anyway. Now I'm a hater?

I love the games. Don't like Doug-- or rather, his taste in movies. "Fellini sucks, his movies are boring!" I only listen when they've got great guests. The episode with Silverman/Notaro/Schumer/Glaser was phenomenal, though.

Die Flederhouse is pretty amazing, and there was an update from the disputants in a recent episode (I think Ipso Lacto, which is a pretty fun episode about an insane person, even by the standards of people who call up a deranged millionaire for him to settle their pretty disagreements).

Away With the manger from a few weeks ago is notable for Hodgman getting pretty real about some serious stuff.

It never stops.

I know he's in the entertainment field and that allows him a little more leeway, but I think my favorite aspect of Paul F. Tompkins is how he seems to live his life like an eccentric millionaire.

Of course he's going to bring in a horn section to sing the theme from Skyfall, loving why wouldn't he?

I wasn't accusing you of not listening to it, I was just making people who may have listened to DAP but not Superego aware that there's tons more where that came from. Although there's got to be a pretty big overlap between the listenership of DAP and Superego.

Paul F. Tompkins and John Hodgman should tour this year as THE ECCENTRIC/DERANGED MILLIONAIRES.

Hi thread! Looking for recommendations after about a year long hiatus from podcasts (spent most of the last year in Central Asia). Before I left, I listened to and plan on resuming:

-Bill Burr
-Bob Kelly's "You Know What, Dude?"
-Greg Fitzsimmons
-Mohr Stories
-Joe Rogan
-Smartest Man in the World
-Walking the Room
-Comedy Bang Bang
-Who Charted?
-Superego

Ones I just don't like:
-Doug Likes Movies
-Nerdist
-Harmontown

Those are the main ones...basically. Any new ones pop up this year I that might meet my tastes? Thanks!

edit: Basically, anything where Patton Oswalt, Bill Burr, or Greg Proops have a chance of showing up.

My favourite podcasts that have started up within the last year(ish) are probably Matt Besser's Improv4Humans and The Dana Gould Hour.

Greg Proops has been on the Todd Glass Show, which can be a good podcast at times.

I'd say try: The Dana Gould Hour, Nerd Poker (Brian Posehn and friends playing D&D. It's brand new and amazing), Throwing Shade (if you're into the preachy part of Smartest),and Dead Authors Podcast (I'm amazed Proops hasn't done this)

In Case of Emergency and Satellite Dish were good while they lasted to. If you even kind of like MBMBAM give them a shot.
