David Sedaris in The Hollywood Handbook

Aliens Like Us With Rhys Darby
What are they?

Aliens Like Us is a new podcast from Sotify all about the outdoors, and meeting people around them. Every week, host Rhys Darby (Conchords flight) joined by Leon “Buttons” Kirkbeck and Ethan Eden to look up the latest UFO news. It's a comedy podcast, but both Darby and Kirkbeck are full believers in the foundation. They have a good reason: Kirkbeck's father had many encounters in his life and Darby himself once witnessed a UFO operation in the Scottish sky while searching for the Loch Ness Monster. Edenebro operates as Scully for the team, but it's clear that skepticism is not the point; there is a section where allegations of UFO “activists” remember their kidnapping stories without comment or return of intruders. Last Podcast Left & # 39;s Henry Zebrowski returns and shares his beliefs about Area 51 and discusses using foreign technology to retaliate against impersonating agents. Although he has a clear love for the subject, Darby's laid back style ensures that the podcast never gets in the mood for comic one-ups or conspiracy theories. You are the perfect tour guide through the unlightened side of the world. (Anthony D Herrera)

Lara Campbell is a simple woman. He loves women, his dog, and making money by pretending to be psychic with the help of his smartphone. But then he receives some disturbing phone calls from his ex-girlfriend Rose and Rose's father pleads telling Lara that he is the only one who can find her. Lara picks up her dog and drives down to Charity, Oregon to find the answers, but what should have been the end of her road trip begins the unsatisfactory journey with a small concrete town as its backdrop, which conveys and is a very good sound design and performance voice. This is the first episode of The believer sounds like the first 30 minutes Come out either Independent in pure sound form: There is a constant sense that something is wrong and you intend to remain so.

We can learn a lot about someone through the lens of food, and in this election year, Eat take on the task of analyzing all the food choices for a Democratic candidate on the sideline for the 2020 campaign, their unique spending, and their choices to get a full picture of the lifestyle of our potential leaders. Later Eater Food, Amanda Kludt and Daniel Geneen sat down with a photojournalist who looked like everyone else: Gary He. The whole episode is full of interesting details; He also gives the audience a complex picture of what it takes to photograph everyone and eat, describing Pete Buttigieg's informal conversations that eat cinnamon cinnamon like chicken wings and women who can eat a corn dog on camera.

Hamlet is a college student who likes to be involved in clubs and shuns the responsibilities of being an officer, until the day Ophelia appears and tells her that her father is dead. Long live the king! His Royal Highness & # 39; it takes Hamlet's fairy tale and removes grief from it. What would happen if Ophelia teamed up with Hamlet to defend her rightful place in the throne – or maybe not so little that she "united" by "pretending to be married" without first asking Hamlet? The audience is fond of the romantic comedy of witty engagement, and the story beats the whole beautiful thread of love without forgetting what else to do: comedy about Shakespeare. Lots of humorous jabs and wordplay make light of the source light, but this podcast is not the endless joke of comedy. It emphasizes the new life of these characters we think we already know and gives them an opportunity to expand on the story that was used for them 400 years ago. We see them go through the complex tone of royal duties and family differences while always emphasizing that, no, no in love, thank you. (Elena Fernández Collins)

The boys (Hases Davenport and Sean Clements) usually cover each episode with a story about music, but this week they started in their conversations with the prolific writer David Sedaris. The repetition is so natural among them that six can speak about taxis for about a full seven minutes before the management comes there to introduce their guest; there is a lot of power in this episode, with a seamless transition between flawless riffs from computers to solid writing discussions, Ivy League instruction, and guilt. This flow and flow means that the audience is treated to a discussion of trained auxiliary monkeys that evolve beyond the age of raccoons breeding, and are better off just enjoying the ride. Even cross-sectional ads are fun. (Jose Nateras)

Man Booker Prize-winning author Marlon James and his co-editor Jake Morrissey hosted a podcast where they sold insecure thoughts to thousands of books under their watch over the past years. Their take is so neat that the couple has to limit themselves to dead writers, lest they provoke controversy by filtering the default love romance author turf war. This week, their verdict is severely suspended as they discuss the guilty pleasures they were about to take in the bathroom. James awakens in the antebellum eroticism series of the Falconhurst series, which revolves around an Alabama mythical tree that harbors all kinds of prostitutes. Morrissey favors the 1950 WASP spray which means Peyton Place, written by a woman who takes over the principal of a high school in the city of New Hampshire. Both are quick to calculate the technical and behavioral failures in these and other books; James trembles when he thinks of the Auschwitz series of romances between prisoners and captives. But they are drawn to these books because the texts are free of their feelings, which makes them move away from the mainstream, from the more rigid, fluid structures of the upper literature.

Back in the mid-2000s, before everyone from overnight customers to investment companies had a podcast, there were a handful of creators willing to take the risk in the middle of an unreadable. Among them were comedian Jimmy Pardo and veteran comedian Matt Belknap. A thousand episodes later and still here, it works “fun” and provides a podcast visual space that is light and basic to laughs. To celebrate this spectacular event, Pardo, Belknap, and eternal bonding coaches Garon Cockrell and Eliot Hochberg plan to treat the audience to an episode without a guest only to be interrupted by phone calls and recorded messages from previous guests congratulating their accomplishments (or participating in something pre-planned, as the case may be). Among the newcomers are Jon Hamm, Jen Kirkman, Scott Aukerman, Janet Varney and Paul F. Tompkins, to name a few. A long list of heavy hitters full of praise is a sign of Pardo's special comedy scene and Never Laughs The group has endured over the years. Long-term audiences can only hope that the fun will not end anytime soon. (Dan Neilan)
