Well, now I feel better about my opinion. I'm not a fan of audience participation and second opinion theme songs. But I get it they make money off of these Largo shows and probably nothing in studio. I will make an exception for "No Holds Barred". That was a great live show.

Live Show Problems:
1. Jason dominates the convo too much by yelling nonstop, which he doesn't do in studio eps
2. All the audience interaction stuff is bad, extremely rote, and there's WAY too much "hey stranger Imma stick a mic in your face be funny right NOW" stuff
3. They do a bunch of clips and images and stuff, which is a waste of time, then do the same "gently caress you listener" jokes every time, which is also a waste of time
4. They record them back to back to back and then sit on the episodes for 6 months and release them out of order which makes things jarring and confusing.
5. In general the live shows lead to too much "This... Movie... is... CRAZY!!!!!" stuff instead of actual jokes or conversation because it pops the crowd.

Thank you for reading my feedback.

The only good episodes of HDTGM are where they had the Crocodile Dundee guy on and Lexi Alexander.

Don't remember if it was in here or in the CBB thread where people where talking about the Dead Authors podcast, but I like Jon Hodgman so I started with that one and thought it was pretty good! Then I started listening to the Roald Dahl episode and turned it off after maybe 2 minutes. I like Ben Schwartz but that was just awful.

Are most episodes like the Hodgman one where they actually make an effort to act like their character? Or more like the Schartz episode where he's just being more or less himself? I'm sure some authors are easier than others I guess.

The Roald Dahl episode has one of the greatest moments in the history of the podcast.

It really depends on whose on. Some people are just comedians who probably looking at the wikipedia in the green room and some are huge fans of who they're portraying

If you wamt to listen to the best episode(s) go for the L Ron Hubbard ones. They're incredible.

Bro, you got to listen to more than 2 episodes. They're almost all good, and I would say the only bad ones are when the guest just isn't funny.

Oh I will for sure, would just like to avoid any bad ones if possible. I'm sure my tastes are different than some people though, so if there are some that are more similar to the Rand episode than the Dahl one that's what I'm looking for. To be honest though, I'm starting to run out of time. I mostly just listen in my car but my commute is only 10 minutes so CBB and ADPPP usually get me through the week unless I have a bunch of errands to run or something.

I highly recommend the episode with The Brothers Grimm, played by Matt Gourley and Jeremy Carter. I've relistened to it many times now, it's one of my favorite podcast eps of all time.

Jorge Luis Borges (Nick Kroll) is my favorite episode. Good blend of still being funny and knowing a good amount about the author.

Mary Holland was Janice Cramps, right? I don't think I've ever heard PFT laugh as hard as her introduction.

The only time I heard him laugh harder was the Spont ep with Lund and Blasooch where Amanda gets tricked into admitting her character did something bad and the only thing she could think of on the spot was "I ate a whole...ROLL OF QUARTERS." PFT was done for a 5 minutes afterwards.

Nowhere is that more obvious than the first Chucky Spliff episode, and that's her best performance yet, as far as i'm concerned.

Even for as good as the ADPPP ep was, his other L. Ron Hubbard appearances are funnier IMO. Check 'em out.

This whole song was a real roller coaster experience and is probably the hardest I've laughed at a podcast in a really long time.

The sad realization that it was encapsulating years of their work was the peak, but I also really loved Bret hoping for a shoutout followed almost immediately by a Cody shoutout
