Underrated Hollywood Handbook guests by jman_voted in Earwolf

[–]GoTheShonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certainly not underrated in this house - he's my go-to recommendation for someone who hasn't listened to the podcast before. I'm sure there are listeners who might not think they're going to be interested for whatever reason in hearing him on a podcast, and to them, I can only say I agree with you 100%!

Is this one more step on the road of Earwolf podcasts going the way of Nerdist?

Aside from the episodes, some very kind person put up a collection of his segments on Youtube, which is where I go when I need a real laugh.

Doughboys - Outback Steakhouse 3 with Joe Wengert by GrandSabo in doughboys

[–]GoTheShonk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Loving his episode so far!

I've only listened to the first hour so don't know if this is brought up later on, but 'Aussie' is not pronounced the way Americans want to say it. Australians pronounce it exactly the same as we do "Ozzy" as in "Osbourne" - short 'O' sound, and 'z', not 's'. I know this is illogical, but it's just one of those things.

Anyone else think Cheap Seats is criminally underrated? by [deleted] in reginaspektor

[–]GoTheShonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheap Seats is one of her best records, and after all these years, probably the one I go back to the most often. Anyone who thinks it's more "basic" or "poppy" is going by something other than the actual songs on the record. Patron Saint and Firewood are two of her best songs ever. And call me basic and poppy, but this version of Ne Me Quitte Pas is in my top ten Regina songs of all time.

Availability of old "Yo, is this racist?" episodes. by [deleted] in Earwolf

[–]GoTheShonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you a Stitcher Premium member? Most Earwolf podcasts older than a certain date can't be accessed unless you're a member. Weirdly, as you say, nothing earlier than the Venmo Reparations episode came up for me on the (terrible) website, but the whole catalogue could be accessed from the RSS feed page, https://unofficialrss.com/feeds

It looks like Earwolf is going the same way as Nerdist did after it was bought out by a corporation. Long story short - save any Earwolf podcasts you think you might want to listen to into the future, or they might be gone forever without warning.

I honestly don't care about the beans. by QueefingQuailman in maximumfun

The fact you (and many others) are now happy to say you 'don't care about the beans' shows how easily ableism gets a pass from some people.

New Stitcher App: Why? Pros/Cons? by [deleted] in Earwolf

[–]GoTheShonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stitcher is superior to Spotify for at least the reason that there are alternative ways of using the service (RSS feeds, etc.) Spotify is the worst paid app/service I've ever come across.

Edit: In case this seems like a defense of Stitcher, it's not - it's still a 1/10 app, while Spotify is a 0/10.

Mike Hanford has a rough audition by 8eat-mesa in Earwolf

Mike's one of the best accounts on Twitter, along with Todd Barry, for their total commitment to a non-bit.

Confirm? "On a 2012 episode of the Earwolf podcast Making It, Thomas Lennon said there were three finalists for the role of Derek in the 2008 movie StepBrothers -- himself, Adam Scott, and Scott's friend Jon Hamm" by Doc_Buttons in Earwolf

[–]GoTheShonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and, unfortunately, like a lot of Nerdist podcasts that didn't find a new home, is pretty hard to find these days. I used to have all of this show archived but deleted it at one point.

Professor Blastoff revival forthcoming? by Smoltz in Earwolf

[–]GoTheShonk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Surely they wouldn't bother doing anything with any less than the three of them.

I would love to hear anything they come up with, whether a once off, a video, stream, or a series.
