What is Harmontown?
Harmontown is a podcast where you get to listen to Dan's bewildering rants about things in his life. His friend Jeff Davis (from WLIIA) is there to enable him. Spencer is there to be the DM but they don't play D&D anymore. Sometimes they do improv.

On some episodes Dan invites guests and forces them to listen to him. Previous guests have included Robin Williams, Bobcat Goldthwait, Doug Benson, DC Pierson, Marc Maron, Duncan Trussell, Greg Proops, and others.

Harmontown is recorded at the Nerdmelt Theater in LA every Sunday in front of a live audience. If you're in the area and want to check it out: https://nerdmeltla.com.

For new listeners, you can just check out the latest episode. Some good episodes to check out are this episode with DC Pierson, this one with Robin Williams and Bobcat Goldthwait, episode 47 and the first episode. The tour episodes, which begin here, are also great.

Is Erin McGathy on every episode? My girl loves her podcast This Feels Terrible and has mentioned wanting to go to a live Harmontown sometime.

Yeah, she's in nearly every episode. Most of the time she's just there to play D&D with the cast though.

Holy poo poo, thank you for making this thread. I'm an hour into the first podcast you recommended and I've already laughed my rear end off several times. I kinda dig Harmon's middle class white dude wisdom but didn't really know this podcast was a thing.

No prob. I was actually surprised this thread didn't already exist.

You forgot Dan's favorite topic, racism.

Added! I knew I forgot something.

Racism... he does love to dwell those issues for better or worse, lol.

Is Kumail a regular on the show now? I haven't been listening to the show lately.

Kumail has been on more times than he hasn't lately. I figure I might as well put him up as a regular since there doesn't seem to be any indication of him leaving or going on hiatus.

He probably feels bad too.. after eating all that fungus.

I guess it just goes to show that you should never put yourself out there for people...

Dan Harmon is a crazy person. I saw him do a Harmontown live at SF Sketchfest this year, and his pants came off. On the bright side, it was the last show of the tour, so afterwords they (Dan & Erin) went outside and just put the bags of t-shirts on the ground and let us have at them. I definitely wouldn't have one otherwise, so that was pretty cool.

But holy poo poo is he a crazy person.

Sounds like you guys had fun! The SF show was the one I was hoping to see but I had to miss it due to class. Hopefully he'll go on tour again.

This last episode was great. Harmontown needs more Bobcat. I loved Kumail's little story about how Jay Chandrasekhar survived his encounter with racist assholes simply because he's in Supertroopers, lol.

ALSO, I'm glad that Dan's back doing Community! Hopefully that doesn't affect the future of Harmontown.

In episode 58, Dan explains that his return to Sony/Community wasn't quite official yet which is why they "lost" the episode. I guess he was talking way too much about what he should have kept to himself until they actually made it official.

Did anyone go to the recording? Dan offered anyone in the audience to come talk to him after the show for a writing gig. That's a huge loving deal.

Also, Jeff is psychic.

Those of are interested in the D&D campaign might appreciate this. Spencer posted a quick write-up listing a lot of the stuff that's been missed and some alternate routes they could have taken.

Cool. Looks like the cast missed a lot of fun opportunities.

Lisette's apology amounting to "I'm sorry if my words offended you" kind of got under my skin and I was secretly hoping for another audience takedown.

Randomly listening to older episodes out of sequence, Levi shows up in an early episode (in the 10-20 range?) and doesn't sound like a cartoon character wearing a velvet smoking jacket. A year or two in L.A. will gently caress you right up, yo.

Let it go.

Terrible episode. Dan ranting about "proposing to stop proposing". Then he went back and changed his point to breaking down walls. He actually does have a point there though. Good thing the majority went and saw Breaking Bad instead.

The most frustrating thing here was that he was disinterested in engaging Kumail and Spencer with proper arguments.

So Lisa resigned from Twitter's Community community or something?

Liar or not I sort of feel bad for Jeremy. It sucks when the Harmontown audience turns against anyone. Eva does have a point though with Jeremy not sounding genuine in his post breakup story.

Spencer was hilarious. I hope he comes back.

Also, Dan's interview on KCRW's The Treatment was great. You Harmenians need to give it a listen.

Did any goons fund?

And this April break is gonna suck.

I don't hate Erin, but it always feels like a bonus when she is not on the show. Also they need to get Bobcat back.

Definitely agree. About 80% of the time her humor fails and ends up being disruptive.

Dan Harmon was on Don't Ever Change recently. It's a podcast where guest comedians talk about their high school lives.

It's not Harmontown but maybe it'll sate you for a little longer.

Irish Joe posted:

The point of Harmontown was/is to rehabilitate Dan's image after his firing from Community (remember, when he worked on Community he was best known for being difficult, abusive and drunk). Everything he does and says is in service to that goal, which is why he takes ridiculous positions on race, sex and whatever. He's not trying to make rational arguments or express a coherent position; he's trying to get people to like him. The problem is that a pathetic, fat, drunken idiot screaming "gently caress da police!" isn't entertaining to anyone and Dan isn't enough of an endearing personality to carry a show like that. He needs to be funny to be likable, and a lot of the times he simply isn't.

This isn't the "poo poo on Dan and friends weekly" thread. If you want that then make a separate thread so we don't have to read your dumb posts.
