Borrego posted:WTF with Marc Maron I remember someone earlier mentioning dislike towards Natasha Leggero, I've heard of her a few times and really didn't think too much of her, but drat! On the latest episode of Maron's podcast (ep.101) she came of like a oval office. Really? I thought she was awesome. I think it's mostly persona, but Marc's great for that kind of cringe humor (awkward interaction, not offensive for the sake of offensive). The best part was the way he said "Yeah" when she asked if his girlfriend was around or when the girlfriend started clapping when Leggero called him out for talking about his ex-girlfriends too much.

ezell nym posted:Uhh Yeah Dude is the only podcast I listen to. The most recent episode (235) is a good one for a new listener, but there are so many good stories about old-school hollywood from Jonathan and present-day celebrity run ins by Seth in the older ones. 172 and 179 are the ones that got me hooked. Wow. I was honestly coming to ask if someone could suggest a good episode to start with because I really didn't like the most recent episode. I think I might be coming at this wrong: I'm a huge fan of WTF, but it seems to be less directly "comedy"-based than a lot of these shows. The rest feel like (slightly or substantially) better morning shows, which I'm not really a fan of in general.

SKULE123 posted:WTF now has an iPhone app. It's not anything special functionality-wise, but if you're not using something like Podcaster, might be a good way to keep up. Also has a premium upgrade option. On that note -- Marc released a podcast over the weekend. It's NOT a WTF, and in fact is pretty heavy (he's discussing the deaths of Robert Schimmel and Greg Giraldo), but it gives a good sense of the aspects of his personality that makes the show appealing. Well, appealing to me, at least.

A PRIZED MULE! posted:I think I've mentioned before, but these guys on The Podcast Eating Contest are funny as hell. To bring up a cliche, I was laughing so hard on the bus that people were looking at me. They only have 5 or 6 episodes, so you can check them out easily. They're like if UYD was sillier and they were quick to play off of each other more. Groundfloor. It's funny, but it feels like they must take two hours to make an episode: You can really hear the breaks in the recording--sometimes mid-sentence.

Picked up the primo NNF. Does anyone who knows the history know the guest that Pardo had on who was heinous? I'm listening to the episode with Greg Berendht, and he mentioned a guest (the only guest?) where audiences actually asked him not to bring him (has to be a "him") back.

Majorian posted:It's amazing to me that I keep hearing this, because I always found him annoying on "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn." But, in retrospect, that may have more to do with the fact that that show was really not very good. Patrice is a highly opinionated... bully's the wrong word, but he will dominate a conversation past the point of entertainment. Marc Maron does a REALLY good job of breaking down the persona in the interview, and the two end up bonding in a really compelling way over the way their personalities have undermined their careers. Patrice is also a pretty unrepentant misogynist, and Marc calls him on it and makes him really unwrap the origins. It's a very good interview, but probably a little further down on the "comedy" spectrum. I was talking to a friend of mine about WTF, and I'm starting to think that it's a podcast less for people interested in comedy and more for people who are interested in comedians. Few guests do bits during the show, and it's really more about their process and their psychoses. This tends to go to some really dark places (see: Janeane Garofalo and Sarah Silverman).

Do we know for a fact that that's Gallagher? I can't imagine that he knows what Twitter is, much less feels that his audience would've benefitted from a Twitter feed. Also, does anyone know how the live NNF went? I think it went down last weekend, but it wasn't mentioned on the most recent ep (even as upcoming).

Groucho Marxist posted:My favorite part was where Gallagher claimed to own the rights to the Ninja Turtles but doesn't see a dime from it to to Dutch lawyers or something. I think the ownership is true, actually. Eastman and Laird, I don't think, actually have any ownership of the property, and I remember hearing about Gallagher's involvement elsewhere (not just out of his mouth). I'd more likely believe that than that he tours the country speaking with physicists, at least. EDIT: My error. Looks like Laird bought out Eastman in 2008, and that they maintained their ownership right up to that point. I still remember hearing that Gallagher was involved with TMNT, but that my be his own mythmaking in other batshit interviews.

Pardo is awesome. Maron is awesome. Anyone who disagrees is not paying attention  I listen to Who Charted, but it's not my favorite. Someone before had said that they like the way that the chart discussion segues into the "personal" discussion, but I actually think that Kremer cuts off a good flow to shoehorn in the name of the next chart entry (though I think that the Roulette and Dart games make up for it). Based on Maron's interview, I think I want to listen to Ned Reyerson's podcast. He is a total ham, and came in loaded with material (which Maron's usually against), but the man's a pretty amazing storyteller and has a skilled hand with irrelevant, but compelling details and sidenotes.

King Lou posted:Yeah. I kind of agree with this. I don't get why he's so popular. I listed to a couple of the sample episodes of his show and just don't dig his over-the-top-ness. Even when he was on DLM I was wishing he'd shut up. Obviously I'm in the minority but his is a podcast I wouldn't pay a penny for. I just don't GET him. Pardo's said that DLM fans almost universally hate him. I like DLM alright, but NNF wins, hands down, for me. I can understand the audience division, though: they are almost exactly opposite personalities/personas. EDIT: I actually think that there may be a "family" line being drawn. I think that I may like Matt Belknap's work in general (NNF, Smartest Man in the World) and, for the most part I feel a lot less strongly about (or actually dislike) a lot of Earwolf stuff.

They relied on it more than usual, but this is a fairly common joke based on the unscripted, "live to tape" nature of the show. There's a great example in the Jon Hamm episode last season, where they start talking about supplemental insurance.

t3ch3 posted:On a different topic, does anyone else think that Maron recorded the intros to the Carolla and Rogan episodes as intentionally over-the-top Maron pontification safaris because he knew those were going to get a ton of downloads? The first fifteen minutes of each seemed like he was pushing that "character" to its extreme, more so than he's done in most other episodes and I can't help but think that its done knowingly. Seems like the type of thing that would drive away an audience, but that would fit his personality. I don't recall the Carolla one, but I felt that the Rogan one was a (fairly low) commentary on the interview -- specifically, Rogan not "owning up" to his role in bringing Fear Factor to life. The whole Maron opening was against "ironic" enjoyment of terrible media and the failure to accept one's own decision to sell out. It seemed to closely mirrored to aspects of the conversation to be pure coincidence.

Nemo posted:I can't stand Brody Stevens. I keep giving him chances, and I'll listen to Who Charted regardless of the guest, but something about him just rubs me the wrong way. If you don't like Brody Stevens, don't bother. Really, I adore him and this episode was exhausting. He basically has a pot/5-hour energy induced breakdown about midway through, and the whole episode goes of the rails. Howard Kremer brings it back and even works with Brody's personality ("Chart Goose!"), but it's probably going to be more maddening than enjoyable for you.

Not a snipe: if you like what he draws out of people that you want to hear from, he gets really good stuff out of everyone he talks to. Also, Sarah Vowell kinda ate her balls on the live WTF. She had a few great lines, but didn't ever mesh with the rest of the panel. Sort of an interesting shift, since she generally has the crowd eating out of her hand when dealing with "her" audience.

The episode was a bit of a clusterfuck, and he sort of apologized at the end to the audience. I think he assumed that he was preaching to the choir in mourning the loss of Gil Scott-Heron, and couldn't let it go when the audience wasn't as interested. It was fascinating to listen to, but it's the first time that I was glad not to be in the live audience.

Hey guys -- just switched out "How Did This Get Made?" for "We Hate Movies!" and suggest that you do the same. WHM seems to provide much better commentaries on the films, and a lot more jokes. I feel that too much of How Did This Get Made is based on their reactions to the lovely elements of movies, rather than actually riffing on the humorous elements. I highly recommend you find their two part analysis of Superman III and IV (Part one was supposed to cover both films, but they basically riffed on Superman III for the full hour). Also, WHM seems to rely a less on guest stars carrying the weight of the humor, and MUCH less on crappy Facebook contributions.
