    I've listened to a few eps but I find it somewhat inconsistent. I agree they're some switched on folks at that site but the podcast swings between riveting and rambling.

    It is highly dependent on the subject and guests but when it hits is surprisingly insightful for a dick and fart joke emporium.

    @Rankenphile‌ the Protomen opened for Tenacious D at a show last year
    And I'm pretty sure Jack Black does a backing vocal on the Danger Zone cover they just released

    Stop whatever you are doing! New season of Superego starts today. Plus the Superego team is on CBB to probably goof around in silly voices and make things up about characters and stuff.

  • cornellcornell Registered User regular
    Is there no MBMBaM this week? I can't find anywhere if it'll be put out tomorrow or what.

  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    Justin and his wife had a baby so their schedule will be wonky for a while I think.

  • cornellcornell Registered User regular
    That's what I figured, but I could have sworn during the ads last week, Justin and Griffin said they'd be back with dad jokes today.

  • nicopernicusnicopernicus Registered User regular
    Ooooh boy that was a great episode of Comedy Bang Bang. PFT is a great fit with his new pals Superego... Oh I forgot one podcast on my list. I really love Thrilling Adventure Hour. Just delightful.

    I tried this a while ago, listened to maybe 4 or 5 episodes and then quit

    strangely I found both of the mcelroys pretty annoying in it, because a lot of the time they were trying to be serious, but with their same mbmbam tone, and the other guys weren't good at standing up for themselves so it just came off as bullying?

    Also my video game opinions tend to run diametrically opposite to theirs so they spend a lot of time talking about and lauding games I don't care about.

  • LanglyLangly Registered User regular
    The one thing I like about the besties is them making fun if the other dudes' attempts at humor.

    That said when they went to a monthly format the show got much much better

  • nicopernicusnicopernicus Registered User regular
    I listened to both Radiolab and 99% invisible. Just absolutely fascinating stuff. The production value was really high as well. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. By next week I'll be all caught up on Analyze Phish so I'll have another slot open up.

    Oh my god I almost choked to death.

    I want to love Radiolab because it is super interesting and cool but the way it is edited makes me want to strangle somebody. It is just absolutely maddening.

    Like yes it sounds cool and fun sometimes when you edit someone to interrupt somebody. But they overuse the shit out of it.

    Or at least they did when I last listened to it. Has it changed any?

    it's pretty much still like this and one of the reasons I love it so much!

    I have enough in my feed of people talking about interesting things, the show's creativity is what sets it apart. It's difficult to be creative with editing spoken word, and I am glad they put in the effort.

    He might be my absolute favorite character in all of Comedy Bang Bang.

    Actually it's impossible to choose. There are so many great characters, but Gourley's Giger just makes my day any time I hear it.

    I listened to half a dozen eps a few years ago myself, because it was so highly recommended by some folks I highly respect, but I found the same as you. It covers fascinating stuff fairly consistently but production-wise it's just too cutesy.

    Anyone else listen to You Made it Weird? I'm working my way forward in the series but I skipped ahead for Sinbad, Ray Romano, Bill Nye, and guy from Team Coco whose name escapes me

    I listened to the start of this in the car with my wife this morning and that was a bad idea because she had to get out of the car just as Charlie was born and whisked away and Sydnee was left there with her guts hanging out wondering what was going to happen.

    Not a great way to start your wednesday I think.

    I was already kind of falling off of nightvale but this episode actually reminded me that Cecil is sort of a villainous presence himself in nightvale, he just has a nice voice and cute boyfriend

    Steve carlsberg is nightvale's only true hero
