Gilbert just immediately diving into Bill Cosby rape jokes was hilarious.

The theme of his podcast is exactly something I'd want to listen to, and I don't hate him or anything, but I just haven't bothered checking in yet.

It's good every now and again, but it's made by the guest. Frank Santopadre is an excellent foil to Gilbert (well researched, polite, asks solid questions), and Gil never ever lets a joke go. The Steve Buscemi episode is particularly good, but it's not Earwolf, it's Sideshow, so no memory hole.

So what exactly is In Your Dreams? From the description on the site and all the early ads it sounded like an awful dream analysis show in the vein of Beautiful/Anonymous. But on more recent ads it sounds like it might be an improv comedy podcast? Or is it a hybrid of the two? Because Gethard is a great comic and improviser, but hearing people try to analyze dreams might be the least interesting subject in the world to me. Unless Earwolf gets a podcast where people talk about the time they swear they saw a ghost, that might win out.

Yeah I haven't listened but I saw someone say on the earwolf reddit that the dream analysis thing is a bit and gary richardson is a comedian (and I guess there's like an arc where they gradually realise he's a fraud or something) I didn't get that at all from those early ads I heard though so I thought the same thing as you.

I just gave the Gilbert show a try and really enjoyed it. The Ira Glass episode was really fun. I was going to say that the cohost is really great as well.

This has probably been discussed before, but I was wondering why we don't seem to get as many James Adomian podcast appearances and CBB characters as we used to. So I checked his twitter for the first time in a while and remembered "oh yeah he's kind of a dick". His bio reads: "Renowned Homo-American. Noted and forgotten in standup, podcasts, cartoons. @TrumpvsBernie album out now! #lgbt4bernie" That's such a strange and bitter line to put in your own bio.. Then the most recent tweet is apparently continuing his years long, weirdly personal beef with the loving AV Club over god knows what: https://mobile.twitter.com/JAdomian/status/821905814000697344 Pretty much the rest of his posts from the last couple days are: simultaneous arguments with about 10 random twitter trolls on Chelsea Manning; retweets of Patton Oswalt, Jane Sanders, etc.; and angry unacknowledged rebuttals to Paul Ryan, Debbie Wasserman Schulz, etc. https://mobile.twitter.com/JAdomian/status/821564127168569345 I heard him on Chapo a couple times recently and he fit in great there but I bet in any other environment he's just a pain to deal with. Besser seems pretty similar so it makes total sense that he also got in a death feud with a site that recaps and assigns a letter grade to WWE SmackDown every week. It blows because I've listened to JA's CBB appearances - Leykis, Hitchens, Merrill Schindler, etc. - so many times and maybe it's just me, but for me there really is no one funnier (except Andy Daly). His characters are so detailed and always start off with a high brow concept that gets steadily more lowbrow. Also I don't know if he's retiring Bernie or what but it seems like now would be an important time to keep that character and his message out there. I'm sure he's out there touring and the BvT album only came out a couple months ago, but I watched the Fusion 'Trump vs. Bernie' debate show a couple days ago and it's just weird and dated now. Still, the last 5 minutes when him and Atamanuik get sincere are really powerful (and sad! in hindsight). It's clear that I've now spent way too much time thinking about this so in conclusion: I don't care if Adomian is kind of a tool, he's still brilliantly funny and he should be on CBB and other podcasts more, and on twitter and reading Orwell less. Also make a sequel to: http://www.earwolf.com/episode/the-tom-leykis-radio-program/ Side note for any sportos out there: "Is Chelsea Manning a traitor" should become the new "Is Joe Flacco elite?"

Paul Sheer on HDTGM posted a short episode regarding the paywall. It's mostly toeing the line and supporting Howl and the paywall (and also apologizing for the poor way it was handled but it sounds like they got some minor concessions. Their best ofs will always be free and up. The free eps will go back a year instead of 6 months and there will be 25 rotating free past episodes.

He's fine but I lost a lot of respect for him (he cares, I know) when he got really mad SNL didn't hire him to play bernie sanders. Also in general I don't like endlessly repeating continuity heavy characters so... It's ok.

I must have missed that. Dude can feel frustrated they went for larry david. Larry david feels like the easy joke. Ataumatik also complained about SNL doing his gyna bit. SNL sucks though so I hope they feel solace in knowing not being on SNL is its own silver lining.

Easy joke or not, having Larry David do Bernie was obviously the right call from any perspective other than wanting to use the platform to help less famous comedians establish themselves. I totally understand why Adomian was upset, but I don't know how anyone else can blame SNL, especially since it was never going to be a part they'd need someone permanent to fill. Now that Trump seems to be around to stay, I think there's more of a case to be made that they should pick someone else to play him though.

Also in regards to him not being on podcasts a lot he also was traveling a lot doing the Bernie vs Trump show live a bit too. So he's still been busy.

Adomian's impression of Bernie Sanders is based on only two things: 1) the voice (which, c'mon, is a pretty easy voice to do) and 2) the dude likes to quote statistics. That's the extent of it. Wow, comedy gold right there. It's just like his Gary Busey (oh boy, time for a shitload of bad acronyms!). I do still enjoy his Leykis and Shindler, even though those impressions are equally one-note.

Isn't the point of going on podcasts to promote the things you do outside of podcasts? Don't think it's the listeners faults.

Have podcasts have been around long enough for comedians to be able to tell whether a random one-off or occasional appearance (as opposed to being a host of a podcast that really takes off) actually makes a difference IRL? I often wonder how much plugs on CBB and other kinda-big shows actually translate to ticket or album sales for the guests.

Podcast appearances are free so as a working comic, you shouldn't be expected to drop your other poo poo and do them. And it's not like CBB isn't prebooked; even if you're at the studios and Scott's best friend, the walk-in potential is "8 minutes of Jarls."

To be honest, the only thing I know about James Adomian apart from his podcast appearances is that he played the sheriff of Nottingham on an episode of The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail. It was really funny.
