Any recommendations? Any you’re obsessed with?! I’m on the hunt for a few new ones to listen to whilst out on my daily exercise!
love Off Menu too. So good!Another vote for Joan and Jericha! Hilarious.
Im really enjoying Richard Herrings Leicester Square podcast. I’m not a huge fan of his but he has some great comedy guests on. It’s been going years so there are lots to listen to.
If you didn’t hear David Tennants podcast he did a few months ago, that was good.
I also like Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster. I generally enjoy comedy podcasts the most.
Richard Herring really do have the most amazing guests, which kind if surprices me cause he's honestly not a very good podcast host and interviewer. He never really have any good reactions or questions to his guests anecdotes, but rather just turns the subject to himself or laughs silently before moving on to the next question which usually isn't related to what they just talked about, so the interviews never really get that nice flow. It's really annoying when you genuinely want to hear more of a story. And also the fact that, after all these year, he still need to use a book or paper to keep track of his questions is kind of baffling. At times even his guests attempts to straighten up the mess that is his interview, which just shouldn't happen.Im really enjoying Richard Herrings Leicester Square podcast.

completely agree with everything you’ve said. He has this weird obsession with sex and a very immature sense of humour. I find it a bit awkward sometimes and yes you can see the guests are thinking WTF a lot of the time.Richard Herring really do have the most amazing guests, which kind if surprices me cause he's honestly not a very good podcast host and interviewer.

Ok rant over.
YES I was gonna bring up his obsession with always trying to be quirky and asking these really weird questions he clearly thinks are hysterical, but they're not. And him talking about sex always makes me uncomfortable. I don't even know why, but it does.completely agree with everything you’ve said.

I think he manages to get these great guests mostly through pity (he didn’t really get the career he thought he’d have, whilst all the people around him in the 90s (Coogan, Stewart lee, Armando Iannucci) they all became very successful. It’s like they do him a favour by going on
I don’t find him remotely funny but he’s had many of my favourite comedians on so I continue to listen.
oh my god I’m so sick of hearing “would you rather, a finger that can travel through time or an armpit that dispenses talc.“ like wtf it’s not even a funny question. He’s a very strange guyYES I was gonna bring up his obsession with always trying to be quirky and asking these really weird questions he clearly thinks are hysterical, but they're not.

I think he might be deleting comments cause I find it unlikely that no one ever criticizes him. Anyone who's ever listened to any other podcast should recognize it isn't good material.
Off Menu is a good one though. Except the episode RH is one, obviously.
Oh yes he's bitter alright. Always answering very aggressively if people question him in the comments. He's also desperate to come on taskmaster, has mentioned it several times! But after watching him interview Alex Horne I think its fair to say that ain't happening. Alex did NOT enjoy that.oh my god I’m so sick of hearing “would you rather, a finger that can travel through time or an armpit that dispenses talc.“ like wtf it’s not even a funny question.

I guess a lot of people like myself just tune him out and listen to the guest. You are right though he does always make it about himself, always referencing some obscure sketch he did that one time that no one remembers. I think secretly he’s quite bitter about how his career went (or didn’t)
I haven’t seen the Alex Horne one but he did hint at wanting to go on Taskmaster on the Greg Davies podcast he’s never gonna get on that show just give it up mate !!Oh yes he's bitter alright.
