John Hamm on nerdist was funny. I listen to Michelle Beadle on Espn Podcast, she is my imaginary girlfriend, funny cute, and not overly annoying about sports.

Jesus effing Christ, get Greg Fitzsimmons and Sam Simon together anywhere near an anniversary of 9/11 and it's Air America circa 2004 all over again. Fucking ponderous.

You owe it to yourself to stop everything immediately and go get the episode of Doug Loves Movies where the guests are Cake Boss, El Chupakabra and Don Demilo.

It's probably funnier if your already familiar with the characters, but tears are literally streaming down my face from laughter right now.

Oh man, that shit was the perfect storm of insanity.

I can't wait to listen to Matt Besser's improv4humans podcast. It's getting hard for me to save it for my commute.

Cake Boss on CBB, and they pull 'baking a plain cake'

:-) :-)

I spend most of my days at this point driving to and from work listening to WTF and periodically Doug Loves Movies (I'll listen to the recommended below tomorrow). WTF is just really well done. I've listened to a couple dozen, but many more where that came from. Today was Judd Apatow. I was particularly entertained by the Norm McDonald WTF.....good stuff there.

Not a funny podcast, and almost worthy of a DC move [more for it generating more interest there, than it being a shitty DC topic], but the most recent 'This American Life' is fascinating.

It's a little different from TAL's MO, as it covers only a single subject, in only two acts.

The first half consists of Mike Daisey's monologue about visiting Foxconn in Shenzen China. The second half deals with fact corrrection and follow-up.

For those unfamilar, Foxconn is the company that makes most of the consumer electronics we consume. Of recent interest, the Ipod and Ipad are manufactured there.
Foxconn employs 300-450K, and Shenzen went from being a medium-sized city of around 350K in the early 80s, to a megalopolis of 11+M today following a trade agreement where China granted corporations free reign to develop a manufacturing base in the area.

Of note, obviously there is the economies of scale. Daisey paints vibrant pictures of the size of facilities and commissaries. Also, the fact that everything is hand made. With labor so cheap, anything that can be made by hand is made by hand. Workers being more fungible and reliable than machinery. Daisey poignantly points out how we pine for the old days of hand-crafting, when the reality is more is hand-made today than at any point in history. Only, instead of a craftsman lovingly crafting a work of art, it's 100s of thousands of faceless workers toiling on endless assembly lines for little pay.

A third prong is his interactions with 12-15 yo workers.

Patton Oswalt on Adam Carolla [after Aceman makes an analogy about young guys entering fame not being prepared to go from seeking pussy to having pussy seek you] : "You're like a meth addict who's stolen the idea of poetry. You're doing donuts with it in a parking lot and burning out all of the gears. And they're like 'would you just give us poetry back?'

"But, . . pussy OUT OF A CANNON!!"'

"Oh, God!! He threw a rod on that one"

Bald Bryan: "A true beat-off poet."

What's the best Android app for podcasts? Anyone know?
[Reply]

Have you tried Google Listen?
[Reply]

No, is it good? I use BeyondPod which is OK.
[Reply]

BeyondPod head and shoulders better than Google Listen. I use BeyondPod and I really like it. I've tried several others, but BeyondPod was the best of the lot IMO.
