bbb Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I think I like Burr actually. I have to watch some of his standup. It does just seem to me that he fires up the mic on Monday morning and just meanders around.......But, when he's on subjects I want to hear about, he's been very good. And, yeah, Dane Cook is pretty horrible. Carolla was mocking him out the other day. I have no idea if you'll like Tony, but for me, it's so crisp, and he's got 3 people with him at all times, so there's a lot of give and take. He's got a plan for every segment...............It's the smartest radio I've ever heard without being NPRish. But, he'll be off almost all summer, so I'm glad I have episodes that I missed that I can go back to. That screw the radio thing is exactly it for me! Commercials, dopey callers, forget it! Now I can listen to what I want when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can listen to what I want when I can. Very cool, Im excited to spend more time with his cast then...will report back for sure. And yep, it's amazing how I can't even really TOLERATE radio anymore lol. And honestly, that's one of the other things about Bill Burr's podcast that crack me up...when he does his ads half way through the cast, it's like part of the show. Steve Austin does the same thing...it's almost like they aren't ads at all, which is great. But yeah, no interest in the radio dial any longer, especially since pretty much all my radio favorites do podcasts these days...we should start a TBD podcast!

ajzepp Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 If any of you guys are looking for other good NFL podcasts, not only is the Ross Tucker one I mentioned earlier very good, but Mike Florio also has one that is excellent. I found it last night and he gets a lot done in 40 min. He had a great interview with Doug Whaley from last week. The two that are most frustrating for me right now are the Nerdist and the Grizzly one....both have topics and/or guests that sound GREAT, but I tend to get bored when I actually listen to them...frustrating!

After a bunch more listens to the Nerdist I get what you're saying. The guests they get lined up are all great but then the actual content is hit or miss. I don't think Hardwick is very good at interviewing at all so it will basically be up to the guest to supply all the entertainment without any prodding. It has been making me appreciate Howard Stern's interviewing skills a lot more. People can say what they want about his type of humor or about his show not being funny anymore but you can't take away his props for his skill to get people to talk about interesting and funny things on his show. I listened to Ross Tucker a lot a couple football seasons ago. Something about it just got old for me though. I have only checked out a couple of Stone Cold's but I thought both of them were pretty funny. Just a redneck guy BS'ing about his life and things that tick him off.

I'm glad it's not just me who is struggling with the Nerdist...I look over the guest list from the past year, and it's just incredible the number of people that appeal to me...but I agree, hardwick just struggles to keep it engaging. Stone Cold has me cracking up...I love when he has a guest on, cause you can hear him trying to be professional and develop his interviewing skills. I have always enjoyed stories about the business and psychology of wrestling, even though I dont pay attention to the matches much anymore. The "behind the scenes" stuff is pretty fascinating, though. The dude is just real, and the way you described his show is spot on. His podcast has been a big surprise for me...it's definitely one I listen to often. Ross Tucker is good about hitting the news of the day and he keeps it short, usually to 30 min or just under. I don't feel like he's trying to force a lot of "filler" in there, which is partly why I enjoy it. Check out the Florio one if you get a chance...I've only listened to two of his so far, but he seems to do a good job of getting a lot done in a short time, as well. And heck yeah, even though I've never been a diehard Howard guy, I have always enjoyed the way he keeps things fresh and entertaining. I was looking for a Stern podcast, but I guess he doesnt have one....maybe because he's under contract with XM or Sirius or whatever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Man Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I have been planning on checking out Florio, I'll download a couple of them and put them into my rotation. I like the WWF history stuff with Stone Cold too, the Shawn Michaels interview was good. I don't think Howard has any podcast but if you were just looking for some of his celebrity interviews a lot of them end up on youtube, especially the recent stuff. I know he is constantly fighting to have them taken down but just as fast as some go down new ones are always popping up. Not looking to turn the thread into a piracy debate, plenty of those out there already, just an FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yeah, you can listen to a full hour or more of an interview he has with somebody - on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderstealer Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Ross Tucker is good about hitting the news of the day and he keeps it short, usually to 30 min or just under. Ross was quite critical of Buffalo's T.Jackson release on his June 12th podcast.. Noting that his half a million dollar signing bonus was unnecessary, the type of transaction losing teams tend to do. I tend to agree. As for favorite Pod's mine are, Dana Gould Hour John Murphy Show Monday Morning w/ Bill Burr Dan Patrick show This week w/ Larry Miller Adam Carolla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Someone here turned me on to Carolla way back in Feb '09, I've been a daily listener since. I've since listened to his show with Dr. Drew. I also catch Dameshek's Football Program. I'll listen to Coach Sal's Bills Podcast from time to time (you may have heard one Gib Tac representing the Bills backers of Chicago in his post-draft show) And, of course, I have my own Bills podcast: Bills and Beers. We've been going strong since 2009. (billsandbeers.com) One that I used to listen to regularly was Dan Carlin's Common Sense. It's a non-partisan (neither Dem nor Rep) political show. It's a fresh thinking show, but his less frequent one, Hardcore History, is GREAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(billsandbeers.com) You have any plans to increase the frequency of your casting? Seems like you've only had one this whole year? I thought it was a dead cast, so I didn't add it.

Love when he's on Carolla's show!.................Any idea why Larry Miller hasn't been on Ace's show? I figured that once he was back to health and doing his own podcast again, he'd be back for more roadtrips or whatever that segment was called. We're going to Florida! He's such a good guy.

ajzepp Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Man, Im still SO damn frustrated with the Nerdist and that Grizzly one...I keep getting hooked into the topic/guest list, only to find my mind wandering ten minutes in...I think I may need to unsub from both just to avoid the let down lol I've been enjoying Bill Burr's cast so much I checked www.instantwatcher.com to see if any of his stand up videos were on Netflix...I found a couple of them so I fired one up yesterday. I laughed SO hard that my stomach has been sore all day today. This guy is able to talk about pretty much any topic without crossing the line where it gets uncomfortable. He incorporates racial differences into his routine in a way that just has me rollin'...I'm really becoming a huge fan. Keep the suggestions coming, guys! I check out every single cast that is mentioned here...thanks so much for all the feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin in Va Beach Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Big fan of the podcast Kevin Smith does with Ralph Garman called Hollywood Babble-On, and a few others on his SmodCast network. Hollywood Babble-On is hilarious. Any fans of Batman would also enjoy his Fatman on Batman pods. http://smodcast.com/sir/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah okay...well I listened to your pre-draft cast and you guys did a pretty good job. I like casts that exhibit candor, and yours fit the bill. Would have been cool if you had Tim Graham call into the show, though...a little back and forth would be great! Thanks Ryan and Gavin...added those to my list to check out. I don't know about you guys, but Im finding that some of the non-sports casts that still talk about sports are sometimes more entertaining that the sports casts....if that makes any sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowgirl Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 The first and only podcast I've ever listened to is: http://www.widerightradio.com/ Oh it's gold!! Bennett on the West Coast and Riley on the East Coast. Two brothers talkin' Bills football. They are hysterical. The only problem is that their podcasts are erratic. It can be months before they post a new one. Here's another link: http://www.podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=36870&allEpisodes= They are a 'must listen' for Bills fans!! Check 'em out......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
