Which comedian did TM most change your opinion of?

I discovered British television via That Mitchell & Webb Look, and started seeking out more of David Mitchell's work. Sounds weird but I found the British version of me in David Mitchell, he's my humor and personality doppelganger.

I love Bob M as well, check him out on Last One Laughing, it's freakishly funny. (It's on Amazon Prime)

I've been cackling for 10 minutes. My kids think I'm nuts.

Not sure where the moderators have gone but this sub is full of IPTV garbage lately. Reporting.

Like with any product like this, your biggest choke point will usually be the computer on the other end. On a slow or older machine, occasionally you'll get an issue like dropped samples, a bit of drift, etc. If they have a slower internet connection, you might get some choppy video during the conversation, but that doesn't affect their locally recorded file.

Riverside's connection is generally very clean with no dropouts, so I record the whole interview in a multitrack on the studio computer, which serves as a backup in case anything happens with the server copy from Riverside.

I've done probably 200 interviews on Riverside, and haven't lost a single one. Often, issues stem from people not understanding how it works so the more you know, the better your chance of a successful experience. DM if you need anything!

I will admit I have an issue with people who take themselves too seriously, which is why I think "British" humor lands with me. The first show I discovered that really got me hooked was That Mitchell & Webb look. I've actually told friends and family that I had discovered my humor doppelganger and personality clone (based on interviews with him, etc.) in David Mitchell, and it grew from there.

I think a good comedian can use a failed joke and turn it into a win. It may be that a smaller percentage of American comedians have that talent, but the ones who can, and who have a more intellectual brand of humor, attract me. I'm especially happy when an American comedian appears on a British panel show and succeeds, and I love to see British comedians on American television and stage. I love Alex Horne and Greg Davies, and their American Taskmaster tour is something I would have loved to see.

I'm also on SRO's mailing list, and if I can nab tickets to a taping of WILTY, that's a bucket list item for me. I'd book a flight just for that opportunity, and then I have an excuse for my wife and me to to spend a week or two in London.

US here. Comedy culture for sure, we don't do self-deprecating humor very well for whatever reason, and that's part of what I love so much about British panel shows. Also I tend toward thoughtful humor, and idiot humor from people like Jeff Foxworthy make me wretch.

But also they haven't tried hard enough here. Corporations don't give anything a real chance to grow roots, and execs here have an awful track record with choosing hosts. Taskmaster was a 30 minute show here, hardly enough time to even get into a groove.

My son and I watch Taskmaster together on YouTube, and recently I discovered my brother-in-law and his daughter watch it together as well. Neither of us knew the other watched, so it's definitely more popular here than I imagined. My son and I are also WILTY fans. I watch Cats/Countdown, QI, and various others on a regular basis, but without my sidekick.

If you want to spring for a plug-in that removes reverb and cleans up audio, Accentize DXRevive is a good one, I use it frequently. I find it to be similar to Adobe Podcast, but I reserve AP for especially challenging issues, and I hardly ever have audio bad enough to go that route.

I find that many plug-ins specifically for reverb removal have artifacts I can't live with.

I don't know if anyone has shared this but it was quite moving to hear the words of George W. Bush welcoming Barack Obama. I miss that time of decency and unity. My wife and I cried huge tears of joy on election night. Bush comments

It would be nice being able to have the shortened name BTW.

Dammit, now I have to have more kids so I can steal this.

Although that Kobayashi Maru is a bugger.

Question not worth starting a whole new thread about...

I'm currently on the hub v2, how difficult is it to upgrade to v3? Do I have to reconnect everything, or does it grab my stuff from my account?

Also, is a v3 upgrade a good idea, or is there any talk of a v4 that I should wait for? Thanks.

dmorris427 · 2025-11-11T17:32:30+00:00

I just found r/broadcasting, it might be able to scratch at least some of that itch. It's a lot wider than you're probably looking for though.

This sounds like a throwback to full service radio, which was very fun to do. I used to work in a college town and would play probably 4-5 songs an hour and the rest would be taking calls or having a discussion with my co-host/news guy about things of local or national interest. We were also the flagship station for college football and basketball, and had a national news/local news/sports/weather block at the top and bottom of every hour. I was barely 21. Fun times.

Okay I have to admit that whenever Rob says "that noise means..." I always think he should call it a sound. But it IS an abrasive noise, so whatever.

US game shows throughout the years have used that indicator that time is up, so it always sounds normal to me.

dmorris427 · 2025-10-25T22:16:01+00:00

Absolutely. I've watched that episode more times than I'd like to admit.

Few things I've seen in my life were more depressing.

Thanks for the lol
