What comedy podcasts do you guys listen to?
Going through my feed, I guess I don't listen to that many, but definitely recommend:
Hello From the Magic Tavern
Spontaneanation
The Dead Authors Podcast
These are all improv podcasts, though (although Spontaneanation is the only one that's like "pure" improv), so if you're looking for something non-improv based, I don't have much for ya.
You're a PFT fan, eh?
Improv podcasts are some of my favorite podcasts. CBB, spont and improv 4 humans are all great podcasts.
If you like improv and PFT you should check out Teachers Lounge. PFT is the first guest. It's got this hilarious runaway train style, where everyone just piles on absurd details. It reminds me of the Andy Daly episodes of CBB.

If I had to choose between TV and podcasts I would choose podcasts.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Dan Snows History Hit
Really brilliant podcast on all sorts of fascinating events in history the big stuff like the world wars and Roman ingenuity to ones on explorers and lesser known stories about big historical events.
Really brilliant give it a shot. He gets authors and historians on that know their stuff and talk passionately about their topic. Can’t recommend it enough.
On the topic of comedy podcasts, I've really enjoyed Dumb People Town. I can take or leave the other show the Sklar Brothers do, but this one is a lot of fun.

Yeah, More Perfect is thebomb.com
Its recent episode on Citizens United had me thinking a lot. They do a good job at presenting a case's full history so you can sort-of see both sides, even if it's an awful case (like the Dres Scott episode).

Can’t stop listening to this. It’s really brilliant. Give it a spin if you like history.
