His point wasn't about the larger struggle of female authors to gain notice in the literary world, it was trying to troll those of us on the message board who do care about female representation. I appreciate you trying to put a positive spin on a complete stranger's point of view but trust me, this guy is not worth…

A forum I go to has one avid Ayn Rand fanboy, who is hilarious in the way he trolls - or attempts to troll - feminist types on said forum by being like, "Oh I saw Atlas Shrugged part 1, what an amazing movie but people here obviously don't want to watch a film based on a book by a female author". (Yeah, because that's…

Wow, wow. I've been sympathethic to TMP despite its many shortcomings but I'm gonna go check that out because in all honesty the show lost me half-way through S1.

I wonder if it's partly a tumblr phenomenon, which might mean the fans are younger than me and I'm a cranky old lady who wanted my fake fictional news to sound like actual news on the radio.

Exactly! I actually do have a friend who's a fellow pod-lover and she agreed it just doesn't fulfill the premise as well as it could. They needn't do much to make it sound like a public radio broadcast but they didn't really go for it.

Am I the only one on the planet not enamored with Welcome to the Night Vale? I thought the idea was really cool, downloaded a bunch of episodes, listened to them and ..then stopped because I didn't think it lived up to the hype. It's fictional, but it doesn't try at all to sound like an actual radio broadcast, so it…

Improv4Humans has gotten so good as of late. I am not ashamed to admit I've listened to the episode with Lennon Parham, Danielle Schneider and Pamela Murphy multiple times, and was again delighted to hear the "Youtube stars" scene on the What's Bothering You Special. Priceless.

Topical!

Stunning.

I can confirm that as a newbie who watched wrestling as a kid but has only now gotten into it in the sense that I like finding out more than just what the TV gives me, Cobana's paaaahdcast is newbie-friendly. It's introduced me to a lot of current WWE talent and awesome indie types. It's an insider's podcast, too, but…

I believe you replied to one of my comments about TS some weeks back, asking for recs and I forgot to reply. I've been a listener since like episode 6 so it's hard to name recs, I'm just so used to the style. My advice would be to start from the beginning - their riffing is actually just their friendship, and it's…

I'd encourage people to say 'yes' to him. Some shows are undeniably close to unlistenable because the crowd is not with him and so he gets really annoyingly pissy with them, but when the crowd energy is with him, the show becomes an absolute powerhouse of semi-coherent comedical ranting and improvisation off current…

Hipster detachment? He gets enraged about women's rights issues and loves everything unironically. Just say his repetitive rambling and ranting is not your thing, dude, that's totally fine, but to label it as hipster just because you dislike it is pretty stupid.

Double Feature pissed me off for some reason and I never went back to it, even though I liked the premise of it.

@avclub-5de53e211da9a55194f63cc252a72c29:disqus I haven't listened to the podcast yet but is it really a double standard? I'm a whitey and it doesn't impact my life at all if Lena Dunham or Miley Cyrus get hated on. Whereas racism impacts every person of color, often on a daily basis.

I'm going to give this one a listen because of you mentioning this on here, so thanks!

Sthlm.

@JudgeReinhold:disqus Haha, one of the reasons it can be so mortifying to tell somebody "I haven't done X" is the question, "Well, why haven't you done X?". I don't want to burden even random strangers online with my past self-esteem troubles, body issues and all the rest of it, as I'm sure there are a number of…

I assume you're joking, my Swedish friend loves to drink.

Do me, Monkey Boy.
