I’ve been looking for more podcasts since I started going on daily walks.

Mine are:

  • Conan O’Brien needs a friend
  • Wolf and owl
  • Off menu
  • Samuel Proulx@rblind.comEnglish

    Surprised nobody has mentioned my two favourites:

    • Behind The Bastards: Robert Evans (formerly of Cracked fame) talks about the worst people in history for hours.
    • Oh No Ross and Carrie: “When they make the claims we show up so you don’t have to.” Maybe start with the series on scientology, it’s some of the best work they’ve done.

    Most of the other stuff I listen to is either industry specific or fandom/hobby specific.

      Having just finished up 6 episodes on G. Gordon Liddy, knowing nothing about him beforehand, I second the recommendation of Behind the Bastards.

    On the humorous side:

    • My Brother, My Brother And Me - 3 brothers giving not-so-serious advice to listeners, reacting to questions from Yahoo Answers (when that was a thing), and overall being funny/silly
    • My Dad Wrote A Porno - 3 people reacting to an “erotica” book series that one of the guys’ dad published (I would say the books are maybe only 5%-20% explicit, depending on the chapter) (some of the characters’ voices can be annoying/grating, and the narrator tends to repeat sentences after they react to them which can be annoying as well)
    • No Such Thing As A Fish - the behind-the-scenes staff of the show QI bring up interesting facts and tidbits from history/nature/etc. (each episode is split into 4 parts where each member brings up a fact and the others react to it and bring up related facts)
    • If I Were You - Jake & Amir from CollegeHumor giving advice to listeners (mostly in a sarcastic/tongue-in-cheek way but sometimes genuinely), mostly about relationships/dating
    • SmartLess - Jason Bateman and Will Arnett (Arrested Development) and Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) interview a famous person each episode where only one of the hosts known who it is beforehand (it gets better after the first few episodes, though some conversations are less funny/entertaining than others)
    • Office Ladies - Jenna and Angela from The Office (US) reacting to each episode of the show and bringing up behind-the-scenes stuff (some of episodes include interviews with other cast members/staff)

          Eh it’s just not funny to me anymore. Everything is so flanderized and weird.

          The old episodes had such a “just three dudes being funny in their basement” feel, and the new ones are like “we ran out of funny so here’s a half hour of Munch Squad”

          I can’t blame them after HUNDREDS of episodes but it’s not for me.
