Podcasts: An update

Since we last talked podcasts, I’ve expanded my listening a little bit and am giving a few new podcasts a shot, so I thought an update was in order.

I’m still listening to everything I mentioned the last time, so go there first for the first favorites. New favorites include:

Totally Married
About: I gave this an honorable mention last time because I’d only listened to one episode, but after listening every week for the last six+ months, I’d definitely say I enjoy it. The show centers around Elizabeth and Andy (married) answering listener questions. Giving unqualified advice is one of my most favorite things ever, so obviously I dig. Sometimes Chris and I listen together.
Length: One hour
Updates: Once a week, on Mondays

Totally Laime
About: Yup, I’m Totally obsessed with all these podcasts. This one features Elizabeth and Andy and a guest star, usually a comedian or actor with varying degrees of notoriety. It’s always funny, they play games, I enjoy it a lot. Favorite episodes include Aisha Tyler, Regan Burns, Artemis Pebdani.
Length: One hour
Updates: Once a week, on Fridays

The Momo Show
About: I found this one through Totally Mommy because [actress] Morgan Walsh (one half of Momo) was a guest on TM. The other Mo is Mo Gaffney, who is also an actress and in a little movie called Drop Dead Gorgeous. I like this podcast because it’s a little inside Hollywood without being INSIDE Hollywood, if that makes sense. Like, Morgan (husband Matt Walsh is on Veep) and Mo are working actors, they live in the valley, etc. They’re not fancy-shmancy, but they often run with the fancy crowd. That seems not very complimentary, but I mean it complementary. It’s like listening to a quirky friend who meets Julia Louis-Dreyfus and still acts like her quirky self and then reports back to you about the encounter. Recently Momo has been getting a little too political for my liking, but I’m willing to overlook that for now.
Length: About an hour
Updates: Typically once a week, but it hasn’t updated in a few weeks because one of the Mos was off shooting a guest spot on a TV show.

Stuff I’m giving a shot:

Comedy Bang Bang
I’m 1 1/2 episodes in and I’m a little meh on it. There have been some LOL moments, but it’s an hour and a half long that is a long time to basically have someone doing impressions when really all I want is to listen to the interview with the main guest. I’d rather just hear Horatio Sanz as a guest than hear Horatio Sanz doing Aaron Neville. Anyway, I’ll give it one more episode.

The Moth, Risk
I know very little about either of these except a colleague of mine recommended them and she’s cool.

Improv4humans
This was recommended in my improv class last week. ‘Nuf said.

Indoor Kids
I found this on some random “funniest podcasts ever” list and thought I’d check it out. It’s co-hosted by Kumail Nanjiani who looks really familiar. Enough for me.

Totally Beverages (and Sometimes Hot Sauce)
About: Mostly beverages, occasionally hot sauce. Andy of the other Totally podcasts recently started this one and although it’s so ridiculous, I have listened to the first two episodes, so…who’s ridiculous now? Sometimes it can be kind of fun listening to people talk about the most seemingly-boring topics.
Length: An hour-ish
Updates: Once a week, I think on Wednesdays

Anything new and exciting you’re listening to lately?
