Recommend some Podcasts

There's a thread in general with some good suggestions.

Doug Loves Movies- Comedian Doug Benson hosts a podcast that is theoretically about movies. Has 3-4 guests per episode, usually other comedians or actors, sometimes directors or other industry types. It is very loosely structured and veers off wildly often. Every proper episode ends with the guests playing "The Leonard Maltin Game" where they get to show of their knowledge(or lack of) about movies. Try a few episodes based on the guests you like.

How Did This Get Made?- Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas(Andre and Raffi onThe League) along with June Diane Raphael(you've seen her in stuff) take 1 bad movie per week and break it down. Along with a guest, sometimes related to the movie sometimes just a random comedian, they tear it apart. Delving in to what little sense most of it makes and ultimately asking just how the hell this movie got made.

Comedy Bang Bang- Scott Auckerman hosts, usually with a comedian "co-host" of the week. And then someone comes in studio in character and they improv stupid shit for an hour. It's occasionally mediocre but usually great. Especially when Paul F. Tompkins is there as one of his characters. Some people don't get it, or just don't like the format.This is my favorite episode, if you don't like it the show is probably not for you.

I suggest the 4(5?) part "Wrath of the Khans" series for Hardcore History. Really awesome history lesson on the Mongol conquest.

This is a really good one about the legal justice system and "right" and "wrong" choices. You'll probably think you know the way it ends as you listen, and you'll likely be wrong. I listened to this on a roadtrip to Cali with my friends and we thought it was really interesting, and creepy.

BBC In our timehttp://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/iot/allis pretty good, covering fairly random historical topics with a well informed panel which varies from week to week. They're not all gems, but most of them are interesting.

http://www.thisamericanlife.org/- Probably the best podcast out there. Random topic each week.
http://www.nerdist.com/podcast/you-made-it-weird/- Pete Holmes interviews people, usually comedians. Hilarious and it delves pretty deep into their private lives.
http://www.nerdist.com/podcast/the-browncast/- New Alton Brown podcast, the interviews are kind of boring since it's food network people, but the rest of it is very interesting/informative.
http://smodcast.com/channels/hollywood-babble-on/- Ralph Garman and Kevin Smith talk about what's going on in Hollywood.


These are the ones I listen to mostly.

Tell Em Stevedave- Often hilarious, imo the best and most consistent show on Smodcast.

I would disagee, for me the topics are very hit or miss; some like the Harper High episodes are fantastic while many others I'm bored of in a few minutes and they don't ever pick up.

Bill's Monday Morning Podcast | The Official Website of Bill Burr- Can get a bit too vulgar at times, but the letter response portion is always good for a laugh.

http://podcasts.joerogan.net-Rogan can be hit or miss, but he has pretty entertaining guests come on. Everything from MMA fighters to physicists.

http://www.artielangeshow.com/- Don't mind the boring as fuck NFL dude with him. When Artie has guests like Gilbert Gottfried or is goofing on Mike Bocchetti (his announcer) or the twins (the blondes from Amazing Race) it's fucking HILARIOUS!

That show was so much better when Nick DiPaolo was handling the hosting with Artie as a co-host. Artie has no idea how the fuck to run a radio show and just babbles like a retard 90% of the time. When they ran Nick off the show became unwatchable for me(they were showing it on DirecTV nightly before that). And I hated Nick's politics, but he was funny as fuck and gave the show direction.

It's terrible, an awful half-assed Stern show rip off.

We're in the tech forum so I'll plugLeo Laporte'spodcast on twit. No idea what that means specifically, but I listened to a couple episodes with my dad on a long drive recently and Leo is still great at mixing interesting tech info with bring entertaining.
