Comedy Button is great, if you ever listened to the old Gamespy Debriefings it's them with Max Scoville added in and it's hilarious.

The MaxFun commercials are not flattering to their shows. Stop Podcasting Yourself and Throwing Shade are excellent.

The Bone Zone is a pretty good podcast and should be given a shot. It's two (used to be three) stand up comedians just doing a goofy improvised show where they play exaggerated goofy versions of themselves and occasionally do light hearted prank calls (like calling a Red Lobster they don't work at to tell them they can't come in to work today, or calling a motorcycle store and ending up just getting an informative talk to about motorcycles and getting your license). And oh boy some of the guests they have, including such names as Chelsea Peretti, Al Madrigal, Bill Clinton, Moshe Kasher, Nick Thorburn from those bands everyone in LA seems to know, Bert Kreischer, President Barack Hussein Obamacare, Tom Segura, Rory Scovel, and many many more!

I love Jordan Jesse Go and I like Jesse Thorn a lot, but I can't even begin to express how cathartic it was to hear Jordan and Nick Adams call Jesse out on having a pet pig despite how vocal he has always been against LA hipsters doing LA hipsterish things.

Illinois Smith posted:I had no idea who Jordan was two weeks ago but him and Jesse taking over Hodgman's podcast while he's busy with deranged billionaire business is definitely my least favorite part of the summer. Yeah, I'm a big JJGo and Thorn fan in general, but he's a pale substitute for Hodgman in that role. It probably didn't help that those were the two worst cases they've ever accepted.

The two most recent ones? I haven't listened to them because both of them sound like legitimate marriage problems that the people involved should most likely talk to someone not on a podcast about and I have zero interest in hearing the kind of people who take that poo poo to a podcast.

I've found most of the recent ones to be way too awkward to listen to. A case should be based on some hipster precedent before it gets to the court, in my opinion.

Binowru posted:The Pod F. Tompkast and Welcome to Night Vale are pretty much required listening. I'm working through this after people were recommending it in the thread, but after about 15 episodes it seems like they're becoming more invested in the continuity and Lovecraft pastiche than the comedy. Do they ever course-correct?

Not sure if has been mentioned, checked back a couple of pages and didn't see anything (checking back may not have occurred); I've been getting allot of mileage out of: Walking the Room: http://www.walkingtheroom.com/ So there was some recent drama with the owners of this stuff which has coloured the last few episodes - 10 to 150ish have been good though. It's about 2 stand ups who talk about their lives, family, crickets. If I saw either of these men on the street I would cross the street and attempt to make awkward conversation with them before making up an important sounding reason to be somewhere else. http://www.tofop.com/ Charlie Clausen left the podcast to pursue acting in an Australian television drama and Wil Anderson (pretty much my favourite australian comedian) has been replacing him week by week with 'guest Charlies'. This only took a few episodes to get off the ground and is very easy to listen to on long commutes. I thoroughly recommend it.

I also highly recommend Walking the Room. It's a little like my all time favorite Uhh Yeah Dude, only with two talented comedians publically reveling in the failure of their careers. WtR has the same sort of in show universe and vocabulary that has been built up spontaneously over the years, and like UYD, knowing the inside jokes and call backs isn't strictly necessary, it does make it better. Each episode tends to be broken up into three distinct conversations where Dave and Greg start off on a topic from their lives or the news and ramble off into entertainingly dark and nonsensical tangents. I don't know if I would describe what caused WtR's recent hiatus as 'drama' however. For those that don't know, host Greg Behrendt (of He's Just Not That Into You "fame") broke his long time sobriety by taking dog pills of all things. Dave Anthony is IRL close friends with Greg and so was understandably pissed off and hurt and disappointed at the time, but it was luckily just a brief relapse and the show has been back and as good as ever for awhile now. I recommend starting off with one of the special episodes where a comedian they know guest stars (just pick one with someone you like) to get a feel for the show, and if you like what you hear just start from around the 10s and power through the archive so you too can find out about the habits of the mysterious hobotangs and the secret violent side of Ellen Degeneres. Oh, and they also started the LA podcast festival, so there's that too.

I remember really loving the Kyle Kinane episode

I just skipped to around the 35 minute mark - why is Todd yelling at me? He sounds so much like every conservative talk radio host right now. Obviously not in the content of what he's saying, but just the cadence and tone of his voice and lack of anybody responding to him makes him sound like he's about to start screaming about undocumented immigrants taking all our jobs.

That episode gave us the phrases "bathroom gentleman" and "pancakes are not a hand food." So good. I highly recommend their live podcasts as well--the second one with Dave Holmes and Patton Oswalt is particularly good. Plus, they sell some great t-shirts at their store, which I think are made in Greg's garage. (They also sell stuff for other comedians, including this magnificent Kittens McTavish shirt for Greg Proops.) Thirding the TOFOP/FOFOP love, Wil's terrible Batman impersonation gets me every time, though he doesn't do it as often now with the guest Charlies.

Todd seems to be using the 'serious' parts of his podcast just to vent whenever something in the news frustrates him. Not my favorite listening material, but hey, it's his podcast and he's entitled to vent his spleen on it if he wants to. I just wish his boring preachy parts were as entertaining as Greg Proops'. Todd has been pretty good about giving minute marks to to skip around the non-funny parts at some point during his open-to-the-open-to-the-opens so I really don't mind so much.

What kind of a show is Mike and Tom Eat Snacks? Is it more of a chatty podcast, with a bit of 'snack review', or is it more focused on the snack review, with bits of conversations as an opening? Also, do they review delicious snacks? I lived in Australia and some of their snacks may not be available here.

The premise of the show is that they review snacks, but a lot of episodes are 80-90% them talking/riffing about whatever and 10-20% snack talk. I also live in Australia and yeah they do a lot of American snacks that we don't have here (or at least aren't easy to find in a small town in regional Victoria). They have really great chemistry and their riffing is so goddamn funny to me. Just give it a listen. I started from episode 1 not really knowing what it was going to be and fell in love with it very quickly.

They also do a lot of regional snacks that aren't available around me either, and I do live in the USA. It's one of those podcasts based on a subject where you don't actually have to care or know about the subject at all to enjoy it.
