I didn't see it posted, but there's a brand new Dead Authors with Andy Daly as the Marquis de Sade... It's loving hilarious.

I can't believe there are people who think the Nietzsche/Lovecraft, Carl Sagan and Brothers Grimm episodes of DAP were "boring".

Yeah those are some of my favorites. I really liked PG Wodehouse as well for how silly it was. I'm a little surprised everyone liked the Kirkman ones so much because I was a bit disappointed. They're not bad or anything but I wouldn't call them high points.

I just started listening to the Dana Gould hour, and man is that a weird show. It drives me nuts how he edits the thing; just let people breathe! I love big, free flowing podcasts like CBB or Never Not Funny, and the editing he does completely stifles that energy. Dana also makes it about himself super frequently, which for some reason I didn't expect from him.

That said, it can be pretty great to listen to and it's always interesting to hear people like Eddie Pepitone and Doug Benson just hanging around and shooting the poo poo in a non-performance context. I like Doug a lot more when he's just talking vs when he's hosting

Also "Two Guys From Boston" is loving bizarre because Dana can't do a Boston accent as well as he thinks he can; his normal speaking voice is so much more authentically from the area

I like free flowing conversational podcasts too, but Dana's show comes out pretty infrequently so I think its a pretty nice change of pace. I especially like the Hollywood history parts he puts in.

I've started a podcast of my own, Podcasts Are Wonderful, where every week I get a big celebrity (actually one of my children) to come on and tell me about their life and work and then listen to a podcast and talk about it with me. The format is sort of similar to Go Bayside! or It's That Episode. Early reports indicate that it is a good show, but I wanted to make sure I had sound quality nailed down as well as I could before trying to tell everyone in the world about it.

Episode 1: "Will Smith" and I talk about Comedy Bang Bang episode 150. Sound quality is listenable but not great, but there are some pretty funny bits in there.
Episode 2: "Katy Perry" and I talk about Go Bayside! episode 25. Again, pre-new microphone/figuring out good compression settings, so sound is a little rougher.
Episode 3: Live from the LA podcast festival (with a very obedient audience willing to stop cheering the moment I ask them to) featuring "President Obama" and "Queen Elizabeth".
Episode 4: "Gordon Ramsay" comes on to talk about Reality Show Show episode 6. This is the first episode where I think I have the audio quality about as good as I can possibly get it without building a home studio or whatever, and it's also just a really funny show.
Episode 5: "A Vampire" and "A Werewolf" join me to discuss The X Files Files episode 22, which one of them bothered to listen to.

Next week is going to be The Todd Glass Show episode 30 (Juice Genie!) and I have a few more episodes already planned out, but if you want me to do a podcast you like, send me an email at podcastsarewonderful@gmail.com or let me know in the thread. I don't care about swearing but I'd prefer nothing too raunchy because of the nature of my guests.
If you give it a try, thanks for your time!

Your show is great. I've only listened to a few episodes, but I have a technical question. How do you get a precocious child to sit and listen to an hour+ long podcast then have them record one right after? I mean, I guess the answer is your kids are pretty cool, but still, that's a lot of patience to ask of a little boy/girl

Probably they are a little older than they sound? My son is 10 and daughter is 12. They listen to the podcasts while they do their chores usually and then we do the podcast later. My son is all over the place during the recording, and a lot of that gets edited out, but usually once or twice an episode you can hear me complaining about him running to the other room for some reason.

Yeah I guess they sounded younger to me. Fun podcast, keep it up!

If anyone likes fights, Bob Zamuda gets pissed at Greg Fitzsimmons and storms out of the podcast when Greg is rightfully skeptical of his ANDY KAUFFMAN IS ALIVE stuff.

Also, while I can't recommend the show in general unless you like people talking comedy shop as much as I do, I CAN recommend the Nick Kroll visit from January of last year.

Is it actual anger or is it just a performance?

I'm late to the party but man, the Goldfinger episode of James Bonding was a missed opportunity. There's so much stuff there to talk about and make jokes about but the guests just can't stop being shocked that James Bond is sexist and silly. I guess it's some kind of schtick?

I didn't much care for that one either. Alie and Georgia show up again in episode 18 too, but thats an extra one from wondercon that doesn't cover a specific film. I think every other episode is pretty good though.

I felt like I was being scolded going thru the later eps because predictably a million internet misogynists called them cunts. I don't think what they were saying was wrong, I just didn't find it funny. I mean to be honest I'm mainly interested in that podcast for Gourley/Ion Flyming.
