Worst Episode Ever: (Kuribo recommendation)
They watch really bad episodes of simpsons and try to find the worse episode ever.

If you try this one and like it, the same crew also has a podcast called 90s Percentile, where they talk about a different subject from the 1990s each week.


Also I really like Last Podcast on the Left. It's three improv comedy guys who take on really dark subjects like serial killers, alien abductions, scientology, stuff like that and add a comedic spin to it while discussing subjects that are admittedly hard to get comedy out of. (For example, while talking about the Toybox Killer, "Once you've got someone trapped in your sex dungeon, you've pretty much crossed the line. So if you're listening out there, and you have someone imprisoned in a sex dungeon, LET THEM OUT. Just let them out, man, come on.") And while talking about the BTK Killer, "Yeah, he actually went into the one lady's house and ate a bowl of cereal. Because he's a serial killer." "Wow, god I hate this asshole, he thinks he's cute." "I just wanna punch BTK, what a dick."

Anyone know any good music podcasts?

[Nexus]

This was my old list. I'll update it tonight.

3 Player Co-Op - 4 Canadians talk about games. It doesn't ever seem particularly well planned out or organised, but I like listening to them discuss video games!

Answer Me This

- Helen Zaltzman and Oli Mann answer questions. Irreverent but interesting and hilarious.

Campaign

- the One-Shot podcasting network play Star Wars: Edge of the Empire. Possibly the funniest roleplaying podcast I've ever heard - the interactions between the four characters are always ridiculous. They've got a massive bounty on them, yet they spend multiple episodes shopping!
Hardcore History - Dan Carlin does History. I've only listened to the Blueprint to Armageddon Episodes 1-3, because that's the History I'm most interested in, but it's fascinating.
Friday Night Comedy from BBC4 - Recently discovered this - British Comedians take on the week's news.
Hat Chat - Hat Films' podcast.
International Waters - Dave Holmes hosts a transatlantic comedy panel show - two British comedians take on two American comedians.
Jordan Jesse Go - Jesse Thorn, America's Radio Sweetheart, and Jordan Morris, Boy Detective, and guest, have a chat.

My Brother, My Brother and Me

- The McElroy Brothers offer advice.
Pop Rocket - People talk about Pop Culture. I've only listened to a few.
Rambling with Sips - the Real Guy, the Best Guy, rambles for a while.
Redemption Podcast - a new Edge of the Empire roleplaying game I enjoy.

Risk

- such a weird podcast - people tell true stories with no holds barred.
Sawbones - Justin and Sydnee McElroy talk about the dumb ways we try to fix our medical issues.
Serial - Already explained.
The Adventure Zone - The MBMBAM brothers and their dad play D&D.
The Bugle - John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman's podcast. On hiatus

The Football Ramble

- Hilarious football podcast which now has a predictions show too. Pete will top himself this season.
The Indoor Kids - On Hiatus. Fun video games podcast.
The YoGPoD - Yogscast podcast.
Trends Like These - Travis McElroy and Brental Floss take Twitter trends on.
Welcome to Nightvale - As Chevre said. It's weird.

[Firebringer]

Ohh snap you even provided links.
Nice Nexus. Ill add these soon.

Co-sign several of the above. I'll think of more later, but one I'd like to plug that I haven't on previous such threads is Gen Pop, a pop-culture podcast by Joanna Robinson and Dave Chen. I've been following these two over a variety of different podcasts for a while but they've finally got a weekly show for whatever in pop culture is on their mind and it's delightful. They have really interesting discussions on all manner of topics, accessibly and engagingly while being insightful and humble. Really worth a listen.

[Korts]

99 Percent Invisible - 20 minute episodes about the fascinating ways design affects our lives
Dynamic Banter - Mike Falzone and Steve Zaragoza shoot the shit for an hour
Tanis - a mock investigation of a mysterious supernatural force in the Pacific Northwest

[Sudo_Nym]

The Dollop - Two comedians talk about a crazy story from American history.
Futility Closet - Greg and Sharon Ross talk about oddities from history, puzzles, interesting scientific developments, and whatnot.

[Nexus]

Updated list of ones I listen to regularly:

Answer Me This

- Gone to once a month, with alternating fortnights a classic AMT. Good, fun advice podcast.

Campaign

- More Star Wars Edge of the Empire - they still have a massive bounty and are still going shopping. Also Evil Campaign once every four weeks.

International Waters

- Dave Holmes hosts a transatlantic comedy panel show - two British comedians take on two American comedians.

My Brother, My Brother and Me

- The McElroy Brothers offer advice. Now a TV show which is awesome.

The Adventure Zone

- The MBMBAM brothers and their dad play D&D.

The Bugle

- Andy Zaltzman and A.N. Other comedian go through the news.

The Football Ramble

- Pete hasn't topped himself. Still hilarious football bantz, twice a week.

Still Buffering

- A sister's guide to teens through the ages - you have a thirty something, a twenty something and a teenager discussing being a teen. Sometimes great, sometimes dull.

Interrobang

- a discussion show with Travis McElroy and Tybee Dyskin. No holds barred.

The Besties

- Polygon discuss the best games of the month.

Hearty Dice Friends

- Two of my Uni friends give RPG advice.

My Dad Wrote a Porno

- Jamie's dad wrote a porno. Jamie and his friends dissect the porno.

[hiplop]

[Nexus]

Both! They discuss both current PPVs and things like the Monday Night Wars - they're doing one on fantasy rebooking WCW in 1993 next.

CoolGames Inc

is another very good podcast featuring a McElroy brother. it's from Polygon, and in it, Griffin McElroy and Nick Robinson come up with ideas for videogames based on listener suggestions. there's also a ton of animated segments on YouTube that are worth checking out if you want a bite-sized portion of this. of course, they go through enough suggestions that turn into vore games that they're basically all bite-sized, but I digress.
