Really enjoying The Sporkful. It's not pure comedy, but it is funny when the guys get into an argument over the dividing line between dip and condiment. It's a 15-minute podcast where two guys (sometimes with a guest) discuss a food topic, like the best way to make popcorn, perfect PB&J technique, or something else stupid. It's not a deep Alton Brown discussion, just a fun conversation. There are episodes with Todd Barry and Marc Maron, but I think the best way to try it out is just pick a food that you like (or that there's been a family dispute over or something) and see if you like it.

Sometimes the podcasts get sort of incestuous (Greg Fitzimmons on Adam Carolla's show, then vice versa the same week), and there are those guys that seem to make the rounds of everything, like Dana Gould or Mike Birbiglia. It got me to thinking about the standups and other comedians that we haven't heard from,, or at least not on the dozen or so best known podcasts. For example, I think black comedians are pretty underrepresented on these, and I don't know why. Can you imagine Marc Maron talking to Dave Chappelle, or Kevin Pollak talking to Chris Rock (I've heard he's been doing a lot of last minute standup appearances, trying all sorts of different material)? Some others on the wish list: - Ron White (a bunch of the alternative comics seem to really respect him or have written for him, and we also don't really hear much from the southern comedians either) - Jane Curtin (has been opening up recently about the dark aspects of early SNL) - Steven Wright - Emo Phillips Some who would have been great for unfiltered conversations: - Richard Pryor - Redd Foxx - John Belushi - Sam Kinison - Eddie Murphy circa 1984

A Fistful of Dicks posted:This. Cyber Thug was the closest thing available with at least one black comedian and a distinctly urban vibe. Goddamnit, someone bring it back! Beyond that, I'd just be happy with more black comedians showing up as guests. There's DAG, Don Glover, Wyatt Cenac, and...? Frankly, I'd rather hear an interview with any member of the Wayans family rather than another dreary Tig Notaro bit. Cedric the Entertainer and Bernie Mac both wrote interesting books about some of their experiences in touring, working their way up through the clubs, and lots of other stuff. Particularly with Bernie Mac I would have loved to hear some unedited, free conversation about those experiences. If you listen to a lot of interviews with comedians (regardless of color), a lot of them who were born in the 60s and 70s talk about being heavily influenced by Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, and later, Eddie Murphy, even if their own styles are totally different. How is it that we hear Tracy Morgan on NPR but not on WTF? I don't know what Chris Rock is up to at the moment, but he seems like a natural host. He had his own late night show on HBO, and on top of that, gets to draw on stories from standup, SNL, working with Louis CK, long affiliation with Adam Sandler, making movies both good and bad, having his own TV sitcom, etc. A broad comedy resume, a good talent for jokes and storytelling...

I'd somehow not heard of that at all, despite having HBO. I still think Chris Rock would be great for a podcast or a Sirius show or something. If not him, hell, Mos Def or somebody? Bill Cosby's in his own class and his days of guest-hosting the Tonight Show are long gone. Eddie Murphy is... has anyone gotten a real, honest interview out of him in the past 20 years? Steve Harvey's busy with the Feud, don't know what Cedric is up to these days, Jamie Foxx and Will Smith are too busy with Hollywood. There's got to be someone out there that fits the bill. I'd almost say Tim Meadows, who I think can be legitimately funny, but I don't know if he's got what it takes to draw a crowd.

RightClickSaveAs posted:He mentions at the beginning of the show how he feels self-conscious about not having more black comics on, and it's one of those things he'd like to change but they just don't cross paths or play the same circuits generally. It's been a while since I listened to that episode, but basically they get into that, and how comedy in a more general sense is split up pretty heavily. I had to deal with some of this self-segregation stuff back when I was doing corporate training, and I generally pointed it out and made fun of it, comparing the whole thing to an 8th grade dance where the boys and girls are sticking to opposite ends of the gymnasium. Somebody's got to make the first move, and if an external force isn't there to push people together, I say the onus is on the guys running the existing podcasts. Like last week when The Nerdist podcast did a whole Black Dynamite showing and followup Q&A? Solid. Jay Pharaoh has been a big hit on SNL with his impressions, and he basically got the job based on his YouTube videos. Kenan Thompson still gets the spotlight, but I'd love to see Jay talk about how he developed his various voices like when Carlos Alazraqui talked about it on WTF. This really isn't a huge personal deal with me as a white guy, but since we've got this whole new medium that is producing a ton of great new comedy as well as commentary and history on the art form, I wish it included a broader spectrum of comedy traditions.

On the Adam Carolla Show today, Andy Dick gives his side of the whole Dick-Hartman-Lovitz story. It's in the first half hour of the show if anyone's interested. Frankly I'm just ready for Dick to finish up his current rotation through the podcasts--he's not that great of a guest. On the advertising side of things, I think Carolla is doing things right. He's got a mix of pre-recorded and conversational ads, and the recorded ones are short and not annoying. Ditto for the self promotion stuff for other shows in the network or live appearances--it gets the point across quickly enough that it's not really worth skipping. (Kevin Smith was really bad with this for a long time, with ten minute long rambling commercials for himself or fleshlight at the beginning of every show.) Carolla's also got a mix of sponsors, which keeps things fresh. I realize a lot of this is coming from radio experience and his massive audience, but I still think it's a good model to emulate.

A Fistful of Dicks posted:I'm about 400+ posts behind, and it'll take me a while to get caught up. But in the meantime, I'd be pretty interested in a top 5-10 comedy podcasts from the various posters. I've found that it varies from week to week, but I really like the recaps that the Onion AV club is doing. Here's the most recent one. It's a good way to keep tabs on podcasts that you don't listen to often, or to find some new ones you haven't heard yet. It's where I found Julie Klausner's "How Was Your Week?", which I like but won't be everyone's cup of tea. I've started listening to the Slashfilm Filmcast podcast. Mostly about movies with some TV stuff, but not really in the comedy category. I'm listening to episodes from about a year ago so that I'm hearing about movies I've already seen. They save all the spoilers for the ends of the episodes, so if you're listening to a new one you can stop when they warn you. I'm finding increasingly that I prefer a well-produced podcast more than the actual subject material. I don't really care about sports, but I like Sklarboro Country because they run a tight program and keep it interesting. With the Filmcast, for interest, they keep imdb open to look up an actor or director if someone can't remember who it is. (I can't stand the shows where two or three people argue about something stupid, like "The capital of Japan is Beijing." "No it's not, the capital is Bangkok. It's where all the brothels are." And they go back and forth for fifteen minutes, and the next week someone apologizes and says that it's Tokyo. Kevin Smith is pretty awful about this, with his confusion over Helen Keller and Anne Frank, and estimating that the population of the US is about 40 million people, and other weird stuff.

Tig Notaro seems like the comedy equivalent of cilantro. There's some sort of genetic marker that makes you love her or hate her, but there's no in between. It's like how I feel about Tim & Eric. I can accept that many people find them hilarious, and I don't argue with them, but I simply don't get it at all. On a vaguely related note, while I love WTF with Marc Maron, I'm not a big fan of his standup. I've listened to a few of the albums, and his sadness/bitterness thing works better in the format of his podcast rather than on stage. You start feeling sorry for him at points while the crowd is letting out bits of nervous laughter.

Satire Forum Mom posted:I really love "How Was Your Week?" Julie Klausner is one of the two people I enjoy just bullshitting into the mic (Paul F. Tompkins is the other one). Her interview with Joan Rivers was amazing and serves as a good intro into the kind of stuff on the show (Jews, cats, Bravo television). For anyone that's interested, Klausner plays Neko Case in The New Pornographers video for Moves. The video was directed by Tom Scharpling, host of The Best Show podcast, and it features lots of comedians or comic actors playing roles throughout, including Todd Barry, Don Glover, and many others.

Carolla has a bad habit of not letting the guest speak, and constantly trying to turn the conversation back to one of his rants or stories about "swinging a hammer". He's got the clout to get some interesting people, but listeners already know his entire life story backwards and forwards. Let the guests talk, and learn to ask questions. One of the strangest examples of this was when he had George Takei on, and Takei was telling the story of being put into an internment camp as a young boy during WWII. Carolla at one point interrupted him by trying to compare the internment of the Japanese to his recent firing from the radio show, his primary rant at the time. Takei was one of the few guests to ever call him on this BS, and said, "Adam, it's really not the same thing."

NecronSchmecron posted:Ok, I'm gonna seem lame for this, but I remember watching Mork & Mindy when I was young (old reruns on Nick @ Nite) and finding it hilarious that their baby was this weird old fat dude. I remember my dad telling me about him after watching it and showing me It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. This interview hit home with me and I can't say how disappointed I was when a good friend of mine said he couldn't stand just hearing some old dude talking. There's a few other old guys that need to be interviewed before they pass away or are mentally unable to tell stories. Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Bob Newhart, Sid Caesar, Phyllis Diller (she's about to turn 93!), etc. I'm thinking anyone born before 1930 that's still lucid. I figure it's a good way to remind a modern audience about some folks that haven't been seen on TV or in movies for a while, and those that are comfortable doing so can let fly with stories that wouldn't have made it on a three minute bit during the Carson show. It was nice to see Maron embracing some comedy history outside of the alternative circuit, and I hope he does some more interviews like that. King Lou posted:Oh yeah? I watched Mork and Mindy when it was FIRST ON TV! You and me both. I used to love saying "Na-Nu Na-Nu". And I just realized that at 34, I'm older now than Robin Williams was during the show.

King Lou posted:When I was listening he was in his mid-20's and would talk about how lame people in their mid 30's were. Being in that age range it rubbed me the wrong way. You see, I'm hip and with it. I know what the kids are into these days. I have a tamagotchi and all that stuff the cool cats are into. Shazzbot! Jesse Thorn just turned 30 and has a baby on the way in a couple of months, so his perspective on things is shifting a bit. There's a good interview with him a month ago that goes over things like the process of building a podcast, different ways to raise revenue, and some problems with public radio (like hosts of shows come up through the news side, not through entertainment, comedy, or writing). Thorn can get annoying, and even though I like JJG and TSOYA, sometimes I'll skip them for a few weeks when I'm not in the mood. But love the guy or hate him, his small podcast network has been an impressive accomplishment for someone during his 20s and it will be interesting to see where it all goes in the future.

Don't know why I thought that, but when you put a face to a voice it's often a weird experience. My experience was going to his fashion blog "Put This On" and seeing this photo, which makes me think of a live-action Milhouse:  I will say that I find his obsession for Caffeine-Free Dr. Pepper somewhat more refreshing than the number of podcast hosts that talk about past alcohol or drug addiction.

NotWearingPants posted:I had expressed my dislike of Maron and his podcast in the past, but he gets really good guests so I keep going back. I've gotten used to him now and he doesn't annoy me nearly as much as he did when I first listened to him. I've enjoyed the show since the start, but I'll agree that it's a lot easier to listen to now. Early on he was really angry about getting fired from Air America and was prone to long fits of self-loathing. (His comedy CDs are similar--at times you just start feeling awkward when he's on the verge of tears about his divorce or something.) Now the guy's getting some respect and some success and he's (in comparison) a lot more upbeat. It's like those moments in Achewood when something good happens to Roast Beef and you see a little smile on his face. I like that he's still exploring darker topics like George Carlin's widow, but he seems to be getting his life together.

For those that haven't been following it, the Kevin Pollak's Chat Show archives were behind a paywall for a few months, but are back open to everyone--both the mp3s on iTunes and the video versions on the website. Although they're long (1.5 - 2.5 hours each), there are some great interviews in there. Looking through the list you'll see some frequent podcast guests like Garfunkel & Oates and Adam Scott, but you'll also get older guys like Henry Winkler and Rob Reiner. There's also some that are surprisingly funny like Dave Coulier and Dave Thomas. One bit of advice: order doesn't really matter on these, but the first ten episodes are so are rough in terms of audio and organization. It's better just to bounce around to different guests that you find interesting, and then if you like the format, you'll listen to or watch the others.

I've listened to the last few episodes of Christopher Titus' podcast. It's sort of like a low rent version of the Adam Carolla podcast--he rants a bit, his girlfriend reads the news and they discuss crazy stuff that happened in Florida, etc. A third person is there, but not a celebrity, just some random person Titus knows or worked with. The dynamic on Carolla is a bit messed up with Alison Rosen, since she pretty much just agrees to whatever he says and attempts to make some joke to back him up. Titus' girlfriend gives him a hard time occasionally and argues with him, which is more interesting. I've always enjoyed his one man shows and the sitcom he did, but I can tell if he keeps ranting about the same couple of topics it's going to get annoying. And you can add him to the growing list of podcast hosts that have gotten sober and bring it up a lot. More power to them, but if you were to listen to Hardwick, Fitzsimmons, Maron, Mewes, and Titus in a row, you might feel like you're in therapy.

Whenever I hear podcast hosts gush about Tig Notaro when she's a guest, it makes me wonder if it's all some elaborate Mr. Show sketch. Like she quietly tells these other comedians that she's got a terminal disease and they all feel bad for her and try to make her feel better. And then the whispers spread, and everyone else says, "Oh, you're so funny and talented! Let's all clap for Tig! Yay!" She managed to drain the energy out of Sklarbro Country, which is one of the snappiest and quickest comedy podcasts out there.

I think that's why she's frustrating for a lot of people, and why said people keep giving it one more chance to see what all the fuss is about. Various comedians say that 10 people are hilarious. Everyone agrees on 9 of them, or at least understand that, "Maybe I don't personally like numbers 3 or 7, but I can understand why others would find that style funny." It's only with number Tig that so many of us are scratching our heads and saying, "I just don't get it, but maybe she's some sort of Andy Kaufman genius and I just haven't deciphered it yet, so I'll keep listening as long as I can stand it as she shows up on yet another otherwise funny podcast." I've heard that damned Taylor Dayne routine performed in a dozen different variations, and as sort of her classic, signature bit, I can't understand why any of it is funny or even entertaining.

I used to love listening to Greg Proops. Then I had a friend who started to talk like that all the time, combined with some hipster BS, and now whenever I hear Proops I just get annoyed. I can take him in short doses, but not for a full podcast. Side note: I'm currently catching up on the Green Room with Paul Provenza show on Showtime. It's a half hour TV show that features four or five comedians chatting with Provenza with a small audience. Just saw the one with Proops, Kathy Griffith, Dana Gould, and an old clarinet player whose name I didn't catch. Hilarious, and I just wish it were a full hour.

For the Commonwealth podcast suggestion, I'll once again point to The Vinyl Cafe by Stuart McLean from Canada, son of Australian immigrants. It's a proper CBC radio show taped in front of a live audience, and there's music and other odds and ends, but I really enjoy it. There's typically a 10-15 minute long story based around a fictional family in Canada. Sometimes funny, sometimes touching, sometimes you'll break down in tears (the one about the guy who died in WWI always gets me). And it can even be painfully hilarious, like when Dave has to cook the turkey. Last time I mentioned this one of our dear neighbors to the north stated his utter hatred of the show, so your mileage may vary.

If you like Lampanelli's schtick, there's not much of that. If you want a gripping Maron deep interview, there's not much of that either. It's mostly about what a wonderful person she is and how her fans love her even when she's insulting whatever ethnic/religious/gender group they belong to. No real surprises, no great insight. Also gets a little annoying when she talks about her background and education and then later you realize she's dumbing down her language as part of a persona.

It tends to depend on the guest. I'll give her credit that she has an amazing voice for a podcast, and her recording setup is well. I tend to like some of the Jesse Thorn podcasts, but when his damned Yorkshire Terriers are yapping in the background it annoys the hell out of me. I really liked the Aisha Tyler interview with Chris Parnell (Dr. Spaceman from 30 Rock), but that's mainly because I went to the same high school he did and knew him when he came back as a theatre teacher and all that. I think my favorite female comedy podcast is Jackie Kashian's "The Dork Forest", because it just goes into so many different subjects. Most of her guests are comedians you've never heard of, but instead of comedy they talk about their nerdy obsessions, like paper or punk rock or board games or whatever. Her whole show about performing in the Middle East was incredible, because of the logistics of doing a USO tour and having some creepy soldier/handler keep telling you you're going to get raped in Oman.

What generally annoys me about live shows is that the hosts are so excited about them, but it's got to be a better experience being there than listening to the recording. There are visual jokes that don't translate well, interactions with audience members that you can't hear, and technical problems that take away from the flow of the show. Greg Proops and Doug Benson seem to do it so well. When Doug accidentally hit a baby with a woot monkey it was freaking hilarious, because he could properly convey what happened while at the same time apologizing. Worst very special live episode ever? The Tell 'Em Steve Dave in Texas where Quinn was drunk, Walt shut down and wouldn't speak for two hours, and Bryan had to somehow run things in front of a crowd that was turning on them.

I'm seeing more and more lead time from recording to broadcasting in various podcasts, and with the holidays there's even more reason to play a few banked episodes. soggybagel posted:They probably didn't feel like it was the forum to mention it (on the podcasts that is). When Giraldo died I don't recall anyone mentioning it either. I certainly saw a number of people who I follow on twitter tweet about his stroke though. Marc Maron did a pretty incredible podcast after Giraldo died. It wasn't a great tribute, it was just Maron really in pain and upset about the whole thing. I seem to recall hearing some nice things about Robert Schimmel within a week of his death. Edit: Maron via Facebook: "Man, I am going to miss Patrice. gently caress, gently caress, gently caress. So sad. Loved that guy. He was a truly great comedian. An original." benito fucked around with this message at 06:34 on Nov 30, 2011 |

For anyone that has abandoned The Nerdist but loved Michael Rooker's appearance on Doug Loves Movies... Rooker is on the latest Nerdist podcast and it's great. The bouncing around of topics works well with Rooker's apparently short attention span and general craziness. It's funny to hear Rooker complaining about how he would deal with a zombie invasion vs. what his character does on The Walking Dead.

Glitterbomber posted:So ok, I've been feeling like giving things second chances lately, and one of those has been Kevin Smith. Smodcast is huge and dense though, so like, what shows are good, and what episodes of them are good 'first show' kinda things? Mohr Stories by Jay Mohr is the only Smodcast show I listen to anymore, though it has nothing to do with Kevin Smith. Highlands: A Peephole History is interesting because it's slower and focuses on stories that Kevin hasn't told a million times. The ABCs of SNL was a great concept but lasted, what, two episodes? As for the others, I spent over a year listening to every episode of the following but quit them all cold turkey. I couldn't listen to Smith's whining or repetition for hours every week, and Tell 'em Steve Dave just got sad and annoying. (I was going to list some of the original members of the Smodcast network and why I stopped, but looking at the site there are tons of podcasts now. Good God.)
