Ironically, the launch of Howl has gotten me into Hollywood Handbook and improv4humans... not that I've been listening to them via Howl at all, but I've been like "poo poo, maybe I should download every episode of these shows just in case I end up loving them in the future!" and now I've listened to a bunch of both of them. And I'm glad that I did download every episode of both of them. What other Earwolf shows should I download the entirety of before it's too late? (Aside from CBB, HDTGM, and UTU2TM?)

I just listened to the Kate Berlant episode of Wild Horses: Perspectives. It might be the most incoherently insane thing that has ever existed. Absolutely hilarious. One of them is a living barbie doll with a musty (not musky) vagina and the whole thing devolves into a weird name game that has no connective thread. Definitely worth a listen

Farg posted:I want to get into this HH business, what are some of their best episodes, at least for a new listener? Episode 44, with Nick Wiger. More importantly, with the opening segment "Welcome to 'Welcome to Sweden' Etc." The Wiger interview itself is good and highlights a lot of their personality traits, but my God, the opening...I think that's the epitome of where Hayes and Sean can go when it's just the two of them playing off one another. The bit starts with a pretty straightforward concept, gets silly...then it spirals so far, into such a weird place. My absolute favorite 20-odd minutes of Hollywood Handbook.

The Ape of Naples posted:It's late in the week to bring it up but Matt Gourley saves this week's Spont. It started off like they couldn't figure out where to go but when Matt becomes Les Claypool he carries the whole thing. I was going to give up on the episode but decided to finish it off and I'm glad I did. Sometimes now I just listen to the beginning, interview, and improv introduction and skip the actual improv stuff, because its usually not that good.

Tarranon posted:im irrationally happy about the fact that HH seems to at least be safe from being canceled. i liked their competition to be the second least popular show on earwolf, but i also didn't like it Haven't their listener numbers gone waaaaay up since the CBB ep? For instance, the Julie Klausner ep has almost 20k listens, where as before their eps seemed to hover around the 2-5k mark IIRC.

Mr. Squishy posted:Is he even involved still? I thought he was out of it. He's not involved in the company anymore as a decision maker but I remember hearing someone high up, I think Adam Sachs, mention him recently. I'm totally blanking on the convo or podcast, but I remember thinking, "At least he didn't sell off all his stake before Scripps bought Earwolf." right after. My best guess is The Wolf Den that was released immediately after the sale.

Isn't howl a mid roll thing, which is Jeff's new joint? Come on Jeff, come in and explain why I can't see which podcasts I have downloaded so I can listen to them on the go.

Did anyone else notice that at the end of this week's CBB, Scott plugs "h-a-w-l dot f-m"? Even he's trying to undermine it!

Was Matt Besser implying that it was "The State" that took his idea for a tv show? My early 90's sketch comedy it really limited but I want to know what show he was talking about that stole his ideas.

I don't think The State started in Chicago, I doubt it. Was looking at this, and I barely remember any of these shows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_broadcast_by_MTV#Comedy_series_2

It's Chicago guys, it's the kind of line blurring irritate people stuff ucb liked in their early days, the time line roughly matches up I think. I could be wrong though.
