Both CBB and Spotaneanation were brilliant today, Spontaneanation even moreso. Everyone on that panel is fucking hilarious.
 
Tried the HOWL App on Android and I'm disappointed. It doesn't act like the music player, so no pause/play controls on the lock screen or notification. My headphones button also doesn't work with the app.

Gonna stick with BeyondPOD for now I guess. Still not sure about getting premium, especially since the Howl App is missing key features at the moment.

UGHHHH. They should have just waited to release Howl. Did they really need to rush this out?

It's kinda amazing how much they're milking heynongman and how it still manages to be funny. Nick Kroll is great as usual, he somehow makes things that should be just stupid the most hilarious and genius thing possible for the moment, like pulling out Jeffery Characterwheaties. I still randomly remember Dentist the Mentalist and crack up. I kinda want an episode with him and Ben Schwartz just to see how many energy drinks Scott would need to keep up with the two of them bouncing off the walls.

Right. "Energy drinks" are the secret to Kroll's hyper energy.

I can't remember if it was this weeks hollywood handbook or last weeks but when Sean goes "yeah it's better because it's worse" when they were talking about vinyl had me bussin up so hard.
 
Listened to the Kroll/Zouks ep of CBB - I was out of breath from laughter when Scott and Nick touched dicks. "Fug nong man! I'm cummiiiiiiiiiiing! Fug nong man!"

Wow that laugh in i4h is annoying as hell.

For real. Those people that have to laugh the loudest to show you they got the joke are the worst. Unless it's like that scenes in The Dark Knight or Interstellar, then you should laugh that way to show people you are smart.

One of my college classmates does this. Will literally laugh at any reference the professor makes relating to current events, I assume to establish that he does in fact read the Wall Street Journal.

I lost it when Dr. Conrad Murray showed up.

Anyways, loved that Tatiana Maslany made it on both CBB and How Did This Get Made. Ep today was great. I love that she's a genuine fan of both shows.

June was on fire today.

Yeah that was last weeks, and then this week they went even more inside and talked about 33 1/3rd books. "when I first listened without a book, I don't get it." lmao

How on earth is there no mention of Teen Pope (Brian Huskey) or So I Married a Van Helsing: The Skellington's Kiss (Paul Scheer)? Lost my damned mind in those episodes.
 
This isn't really the thread for this, but its the closest thing to a general comedy podcast thread, but Maron is going to finally interview Lorne Michaels this week for WTF. Can't wait for that.
 
Howl's been out on Android for a week now and yet the archives haven't been put behind a paywall yet. Wishful thinking here, but...maybe they wised up?

Just listening to some of the associations made on HH today made me a real perv

"Imagine having the speed of Michael Johnson and a clue to get his shoes and the brains of El Chapo and the stung-by-a-bee-joke body of Tim Allen from The Santa Clause--the perfect man"

They definitely shouldn't be putting the archives behind the pay wall in the apps current state (on both iOS and Android). On Android the situation is especially bad but honestly who the hell wants to use that app to listen to podcasts? Complete misread of how people listen to podcasts IMO. They at least need all the basic features of major podcast in apps. On Android the fact that I can't control the app through my lock screen or headphones is unacceptable. That's a very basic feature and you can obviously see they rushed it out.

It's so ridiculous. No way in hell would I ever use a separate app to listen to a few select podcasts, especially an app as undercooked as the howl one.

This weeks hh might be the first dud in a while. Although it was fun to hear them floundering around trying to find something to latch onto comedically
 
Pretty decent bonus episode today on CBB. Colin Hanks is great as usual and EDM were great. Didn't even know they had a new album! CBB to the rescue.

What a plot twist though!
Dr.Hiro was actually just three boys!
 
Holy shit I don't know how many times I've heard it already but this morning I heard the HH commercial but where he goes "matter of fact, just put another 100 to the dome..." and I fucking literally spit out my morning smoothie all over the floor.

Episode 30 and counting. Best ever.
 
Re-listening to the Brochelor episode of CBB when they unveil Howl, and Scott actually comes to a point where he almost says the app is pointless in regards to how almost EVERYONE wants to listen to their podcasts in the same place. Can't really disagree with that, especially considering how poorly it's been implemented on Android.

Is there any info on them getting RSS working with it yet?

Scotty Auk is working on a new show for NBC's Comedy Service?

It sounds like Kulap is the real one behind it and that Comedy Bang Bang productions is just producing it, but we'll see. Not too sure about this comedy service either.

hm. A lot of these sound like they could be interesting but I'm also not entirely sure what they are--full-length tv shows? web series? $4 a month for everything's not bad, especially with Flying Circus and Kids in the Hall and more.

I'm a little annoyed that this has caused Kulap to suspend production of her documentary, which a lot of us gave money to. Additionally, they're not only cancelling Two Charted, but changing the format of Who Charted for the worse.

That's pretty shitty of Scott and Kulap.

Crowdfunding is such a scam.
