Anybody listening to the Comedy and Everything Else podcast?

[Trembling Eagle]

I'm liking it.

All podcasts jumped the shark back in '98.
 

[Jouster]

I love Todd Glass, but the podcast is a good example of how to do a bad podcast: poor sound quality which isn't helped when they neglect to speak into their mics half the time, no real focus or purpose to the show (I know that's sort of the concept, but...), doing it while very stoned (I don't judge.  I just think it makes for a bad show - I'm looking at you, Benson!).

It's good until they get all serious. Not that I can't handle a nice debate every once in a while, but they take on issues that are pretty obvious and easy.

The Norm MacDonald episode is one of the best start-to-finish podcasts I've heard ever, though. When Todd asks Norm about Family Guy, holy moly...

I thought their sound was the best of the recent crop....
you should listen to Paul Goebals (sp) show, their sound is horrid.

I like Todd Glass going off on the things he's passionate about, the other people would do well to reign him in just a smidge though.

Norm seemed like bit of a prick I was wondering why they were all being so deferential to him.

This is the episode that made me unsubscribe, indirectly, because hearing it made me realize how entertaining the show could be, but isn't.  If Norm was a regular I'd gladly listen, even though that episode was as sloppy and unfocused as any other.

I was thinking about checking it out but then I heard them on Benson's I Love Movies podcast and couldn't imagine what an hour plus would've been like.  Basically it comes down to having a finite number of listening hours in my day and too many podcasts already filling it.  I'll probably check out episodes that have guests of interest though.

Couldn't agree more. I do like listening to Todd Glass' very unique way of making points, so I skip through it.

I haven't actually listened to one since the Norm episode. I'm with Jouster though. I thought it had lots of promise, but the audio is bad to awful, and the Norm episode while good (maybe great?) in parts, really hurt because of the lack of focus and production stuff. Plus Norm almost didn't even seem to want to be there at all.

The new I Love Movies really burnt me out on Glass and Dore I think too, and yes they were way too high. Although Doug is actually funnier when he's really high I think, so maybe it's just Jimmy and Todd.

I wonder why he's so set on doing it live.

[yesno]

I kind of like it, but I am not sure exactly why.  It's like eavesdropping on some funny guys who are unaware they're doing a show.  I wouldn't bet on it lasting too much longer, though.

I like "You Look Nice Today" more, but I could also see some of the people here finding it really irritating.

[Bryan]

I just started listening to the Norm MacDonald episode of this after reading this thread. I gave up after about 5 minutes because I couldn't really hear them properly. They seem like funny guys though.

[yesno]

Odd, I don't find the sound to be that bad.  Maybe you guys need to get a new hutPod.

Who, Doug? It's a good venue for that, most of his eps are pretty tight ships, he keeps things on point etc. I dunno. Good to hear an actual audience laugh at jokes too?
