In about 20 minutes I’m going to start a long and tedious work project and I’m gonna need something to keep my mind off the fact that my job is grinding and soul crushing. What cast can I play on my iTouch that’ll have my co-workers wondering what happy pills I’m taking?
I’m loving The Tobolowsky Files
They are the musings of Steven Tobolowsky who is a very big character actor. Google him, you’ll know him I’m sure. He talks about acting, movies and his life.
They are interesting, funny and moving in equal measure. There’s 40+ of them all about 40mins long.
Head over to Earwolf.comfor a bunch of great comedy podcasts including:
Comedy Death-Ray Radio
Sklarbro Country (Sklar Brothers talk sports and other topics)
Who Charted?
How Did This Get Made w/ Paul Scheer (taking apart awful movies)
Eardrop
Mike Detective w/ Rob Huebel (a pun-filled noir detective serial)
You can stream and listen to clips right on the network site.
and then you can move on to
Back To Work (not as funny, but might be worth listening to).
The Moth (“true stories told live without notes”) can be hilarious. Sometimes its more poignant than funny and, very rarely, depressing. But always entertaining.
You can listen to sample stories here:
I love the moth. I will give that a hearty second.
I will throw The Bugle into the mix. Like a British version of the Daily Show…only as a podcast…and not much like the Daily Show. But it has John Oliver who is hilarious and Andy Zaltzman who you might not have heard of but who is also very funny.
Adam and Joe - a condensed version of their 3-hour Saturday morning radio show. Funniest thing on British media at the moment.
Sick And Wrong Podcast. Be warned, it is sick and wrong.
The Complete Guide To Everything. Be warned, it is a complete guide to everything!
