Podcasts . . .
Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2014 6:43 am
(Sorry if there's already a thread for this. Something makes me think that I've created one in one of my, ah, "less lucid" moments. Meh.)
OK, just started getting into podcasts because I'm apparently seven years behind everyone. To be honest, I never had any interest or time for them before now.
So far, I've found "THE BUGLE", "HERE BE MONSTERS", and based "BILL BURR'S MONDAY MORNING PODCAST". I've also got "PHILOSOPHY BITES" bookmarked, but they seem to be a little short. I need something around twenty minutes plus.
"THE BUGLE" is John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman. They talk about current events, and is wonderfully funny. It's that smart, satirical humour you know you love. Unfortunately, they seem to be on hiatus, but you can always fuck up their back catalogue.
"HERE BE MONSTERS" is pretty weird. They tend to focus on fringe subjects and random stories about . . . fuck, just random stuff. It's hard to explain. It's a bit "hipster", but I find it fascinating.
"BILL BURR" is now my thing. I've been going back in his catalogue, and already up to May. It's simply an hour or sometimes quite a bit longer of him just talking shit and ranting. It's fucking GREAT. Sometimes his incredibly hot and sassy wife (I was surprised to discover last week that she was black - dunno, just didn't expect that) joins him, but usually it's just him. His email segment and advice is fantastic.
What does everyone listen to? I'm finding myself gravitating to funny stuff, but it's hard to find quality. Also, I tend to chuckle like a moron on the train to and from work whilst listening to Burr, so maybe I should scale it back a bit.
I'm open to any suggestions, except stuff like anything from "EARWOLF". Incredibly unfunny. Apparently their shows are highly regarded, but I don't see it.
