Fogelnest and Daniel Ralston just did a really nice little Best Show retrospective.

Far too short to be anything resembling a comprehensive best of, but it covered a few of my favorite high notes and makes for a fun listen. It includes Tom's now definitive definition of Zappa, as 'getting a prank phone call while listening to a warped/skipping jazz fusion record.'

"It's like listening to a skipping copy of Bitches Brew while getting a prank phone call."

I love that description. I listened to the show last night with my girlfriend just sitting on our living room floor, it was great.

The new episode of Low Times was great, they did the Fantasy Band Draft again. Tom is so good at destroying Maggie and Daniel's bands with the switcheroos. When Tom was talking about Robin Thicke I couldn't stop laughing and I was in public.

Tom and Jon are doing a panel at SF Sketchfest this year.

Andy Kindler is moderating and John Darnielle and Bob Mould are the musical guests.

well I for one like Jello Man and the way he makes sure you know every time he's attempting a joke by saying "if you will"

If you just start with the relaunch as a podcast, that's probably as good a place as any, it's pretty accessible for new listeners. Then once you've worked through the backlog of the last ~5 months, you can have people in this thread link you to some gems or whatever.

That episode was top to bottom great. No bad reception FPs calling in, Tom being cranky with almost every caller, that weird caller who is into like Spandau Ballet and whatever, etc.

(not that I don't love Chris Gethard etc. but I hate bad reception)

it has been like a month since anybody got Bad Company'd

Still can't find that photo.

I tuned in to the stream tonight and listened to a Bryce call for a while but the stream is really laggy and kept timing out. Does that happen every week? If so no wonder they have trouble pulling new people in. I usually listen to it as a podcast but it'd be nice to be able to listen live when I'm home.

Genuinely not sure how someone could be into the Jon Wurster calls and at the same time think the Hollywood Handbook guys are unbearable.

Yeah I was hooked from the first time I listened to HH after Tom had them on and then went on their show. I've listened to about a dozen of their episodes so far and I'm just making my way through the backlog when I'm out of 'new' stuff from this week. It's hilarious. The Nick Kroll episode and the Ben Schwartz one both destroyed me.
