Ches Neckbeard posted:Well IFC has always been stuck on some premium tier that I've never had personally but I've always had TBS. That's all the defense I can really offer on saying that. Pretty sure TBS doesn't count as basic cable so I literally didn't know how to refer to it in another way. Basic cable is exactly what TBS is. Conan's band is even called The Basic Cable Band.

He has been retweeting dozens and dozens of tweets that are all variations of "Man, @toddglass sure does love pussy", "Hey, @toddglass, leave some pussy for the rest of us", etc. Sounds like the reason I stopped following Neil Hamburger. He would always re-tweet random people saying "Taco Bell gave me the shits" and variants of that sort.

It's certainly possible that bigger names were interested in Maron, but IFC will give him more control over the show.

Basic cable is just your local affiliates. Anything else is expanded cable. It's like that for Comcast, Time Warner, and Charter.

No, basic cable is whatever comes with your provider's basic cable package. If you're only getting local channels, it's not cable just because it's coming from a coaxial cable in your wall.

I work for those three companies and that is what we call the different packages. If you were to get basic cable which is like $17 a month all you would get is abc/cbs/fox/pbs/hsn/qvc to get standard which is around $50 you would get your espn/nick/mtv type channels. IFC is above that though in Tier 1 which also includes things like mtv jams, ID, nick toons and so on. Then there is also tier 2 which would add on the extra sports channels.

Doug Stanhope put out a podcast about l'Affaire Andrist. http://stanhope.libsyn.com/ds-idhap-001?utm_source=DS+has+a+podcast+%28022713%29&utm_campaign=podcast+2%2F28%2F13&utm_medium=email He says he bought gear, so I get the feeling he'll dabble in podcasting more seriously at some point.

A couple of my friends started up a podcast called An Innocent Looking Bookstore, and it's pretty good! It's based in Baltimore, so pretty much all of their guests are locals, but they know a lot of funny and interesting people, and it's a welcome change from hearing the same ten comedians interview each other all the time. If you're into loud, foul-mouthed nerds arguing about nerdy stuff, it'll be right up your alley. My favorite episodes so far are Ep. 13 (guest Jen Tydings), Ep. 31 (guest Danielle Robinette), Ep. 34 (guest Johno Marra), and Ep. 37 (guest Dave K.). The live episode is pretty good, too.

loving hell this makes me so sad. My guess is that Greg used all the kickstarter cash on sweaters and pants. I guess I have to find a new podcast that updates on Sundays. 5$ says the real reason is that Greg and his wife split up

I'm definitely bummed after they've mentioned they were planning to do Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland this year in the last few episodes. Actually, I think Bridgetown has already been locked down, so there might be some hope for one final Starfish Circus, at least.

Walking the Room was the podcast I saved for last because it was like a dessert. A sick dessert that smelled bad but dessert nonetheless. The more cryptic tweets Dave does without ANY response from Greg makes me wonder if Greg hosed off with some of the money or something. But this is all wild speculation. At the very least, we got the Dave Holmes story about the Shower Rangers in the second live cuddle. Nothing can take that away. (Seriously the best story ever told.)

It's kind of Uhh Yeah Dude lite in that WTR has its own sort of vocabulary and callbacks, so even with the poor sound quality, it might be best to start at episode one. The Kyle Kinane episode is an A+, though. EDIT: The Justin Hamilton episode has a story that, if the full Kyle Kinane episode is A+, Hamilton's story alone is A+++.

Jesus, Mike Schmidt leaves Never Not Funny, Todd Glass Leaves Comedy and Everything Else, TOFOP goes kaput, WTR implodes - every time a podcast changes/goes away, it's always under the most mysterious circumstances that no one will ever talk about.

At least with TOFOP they were pretty honest that Charlie's new family-friendly acting job was willing to pay him extra to NOT talk about prison rape, time travel, and bad Batman impersonations. But yeah, Todd Glass leaving Comedy and Everything Else where I think they were even going to tell what happened but only if a fundraiser hit a certain target, or the many many engineers who've left Earwolf (not to forget Cyber Thug). It's really quite bizarre.

I thought the situation with Schmidt was fairly clear. Although I guess it might not have been at the time. I am incredibly bummed out. WTR was the first podcast I really got into and even though it introduced me to a lot of other comedians and podcasts and I listen to a ton of shows now, WTR is the one I love above all others, for whatever sick, twisted reason. (And yeah, my money is on something going wrong with Greg's marriage. I kind of got the vibe that something was up from the last batch of episodes, don't ask me why.)

I hurried to listen to this week's Never Not Funny, hoping to hear a funny side of Bob Zany. Nope, he really is just boring and unfunny. It made me cringe listening to him talk about how great he was, and how he didn't listen to Rodney Dangerfield when he told him not to do a dumb catchphrase. Maybe I was just reading my own feelings in to it, but I kind of got a "I guess I have to finally give in and have him on" vibe from Jimmy. Some of those pilots he talked about sounded dire, no wonder none of them took off.

I fell like Todd left CaEE just so he could do bits and then bail out of them instead of taking about tort reform and other serious poo poo (though I did love the show when Todd was on). I never heard about PFT and Tom Scharpling. I never listened to Tom's show but they seemed like actual friends on CDR/CBB
