Hiya! (waves)

To be honest, I’m getting sick of Andy Zaltzman. I just don’t find his shtik funny at all. I love John Oliver though, so I’m torn.

I fast forward through the pun stuff (and The Congressman’s Penis, or whatever that was). I don’t really mind him, but John Oliver does make the show.

I just want to put my vote in as someone who enjoys Marc Maron’s opening monologue.

The Pod F. Tompkast is a comedy podcast done by Paul F. Tompkins.

I just started listening to You Made it Weird by comedian Pete Holmes. It’s in a similar vein as WTF in that it’s a long conversation by two comedians but the hosts have different personalities.

The AV Club has a weekly feature called Podmass that reviews the best podcasts of the week that the AV Club listens to.

OP here.

Yeah, so someone swiped my fucking iPod from my car last Friday. Fuck.

One I just found and love:
The Infinite Monkey Cage- Science/comedy

Argh. Hope you’ve got your iTunes library intact.

My sympathies.

Yeah. After hours of ripping and copying, everything is still there. At least when I get a replacement I won’t have the ripping to do.

Thanks for the sympathies!

Every general subject podcast* I listen to has been mentioned so I mostly just wanted to pimp Harcore History some more.

I am torn between that the series on the fall of the Roman Republic and the Punic Wars series as my favorites. He is always apologizing for the long form shows, but they are without fail amazing. This recent one is fantastic so far (I am only 2 hours in).
*I also listen to some sports Podcasts, most of which I won’t recommend, but if you are into Baseball I can heartily recommend Up and In: The Baseball Prospectus Podcast and ESPN’s Baseball Today with Eric Karabell and (usually) Keith Law.

I like Cooking Issues (discusses modern cooking techniques like sous vide and such) and EconTalk (about economics).

One that I find amusing, that I haven’t seen mentioned yet here, is the Judge John Hodgman podcast.
