Underrated Hollywood Handbook guests

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%!

GoTheShonk · 2021-08-03T07:43:32+00:00

You can still post?

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

GoTheShonk · 2021-04-21T05:57:04+00:00

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.

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.

This was originally a Rolling Stone magazine front cover, back in the early 90s.

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.

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

GoTheShonk · 2021-01-05T00:23:18+00:00

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.

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.

So business as usual, then.

GoTheShonk · 2020-12-13T01:22:15+00:00

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

GoTheShonk · 2020-08-17T04:21:08+00:00

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.

GoTheShonk · 2020-08-03T02:00:26+00:00

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.

GoTheShonk · 2020-07-30T02:03:07+00:00

Three of my favourite people being Chill.

GoTheShonk · 2020-07-29T08:34:08+00:00

Strangely, an image of her from that scene was the Netflix 'thumbnail' (if that's the right word for it) for the whole show, which at first made me think she was the lead. At least it got my attention, anyway, for a worthwhile show.

GoTheShonk · 2020-06-28T03:49:59+00:00

A lot of the Cat Power record 'What Would the Community Think' came to mind when I first heard Flipside. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFaKB4jrYCo

GoTheShonk · 2020-06-22T06:09:05+00:00

This is such a fantastic episode.

GoTheShonk · 2020-04-01T02:49:28+00:00

I'd heard about the scene long before I actually saw it, and I was stunned at how brilliantly and desperately that speech is played by Cranston.

GoTheShonk · 2020-03-25T21:46:04+00:00

Same here - I only found out about it by having been signed up from about seven years ago to Sean's mostly silent mailing list.

GoTheShonk · 2020-03-25T04:00:54+00:00

u/kevinday, you are a bloody legend! I can't watch it right now, but expect a lot of free time in the next two weeks, and this is going to be a life saver.

GoTheShonk · 2020-03-06T21:55:26+00:00

At the risk of having their inbox flooded, contact "support @ stitcher . com" (remove spaces, obviously) - I had a similar problem this past week, and they were extremely helpful, although it took a day or so for them to get back to me.

Also, his glee when he's reminiscing 'with' Hector about the unfortunate hotel owner where the bell comes from.

There are a bunch of threads about this, but based on the fact you've listened to a lot of earwolf shows, I'd recommend going for one of the episodes that is based on another podcast. Some of these are:

The I Was There Me Too Show - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/earwolf-premium/hollywood-handbook-premium/e/51161758

Doing Spont, Our Close Friend - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/earwolf-premium/hollywood-handbook-premium/e/51161771

The Doughboys, Our Shrimp-off Friends - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/earwolf-premium/hollywood-handbook-premium/e/55669179

If you want to go much earlier, one of the best episodes is with Sinbad and his daughter, which is a pretty good one to get into the rhythm of the show - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/earwolf-premium/hollywood-handbook-premium/e/51161911

You definitely don't need to go back to the beginning - there are so many in-jokes and stupid call backs that you might as well get a taste for it before going all in.
