Created by Scott Aukerman and Jeff Ulrich in 2010, Earwolf has become the go-to website for all your podcast needs. If you enjoy podcasts and don't visit Earwolf, shame on you. SHAME ON YOU.
Here's a full list of Earwolf shows, but I put together a list of what I found to be the most popular podcasts that are featured on the site:
COMEDY BANG! BANG!
The flagship show of Earwolf hosted by Scott Aukerman himself. This show was rated #1 on the AV Club's Top Podcasts of 2013, and for good reason. It has some of the best and funniest comedians on the planet. Featuring funnymen like Paul F. Tompkins, James Adomian, Andy Daly playing characters like Werner Herzog, Jesse "The Mind and Body" Ventura, a cowboy laureate named Dalton Wilcox, and plenty more. Be sure to check in weekly for the weather report!
For a taste of CBB, try the recently released "Best of 2013 part 1" episode, you'll hear guys like Zach Galifianakis, Jon Hamm, and Nick Kroll.
Also be sure to check out the TV show on IFC, Friday nights at 10:00 pm (obligatory Birthday Boys plug, watch that too right after CBB)
How Did This Get Made?
HDTGM stars Paul Scheer (The League), Jason Mantzoukas (The League, The Dictator), and June Diane Raphael (Burning Love).
This podcast spotlights terrible movies that had no business being created. From Daredevil to Anaconda (my personal favorite), Sharknado or even gaffer sixteen-bit's favorite Fast Five, you'll find some of your favorite Hollywood comedians guest starring to make fun of some terrible movies. If you are interested in HDTGM, here is the GAF discussion thread.
Improv4Humans
I4H is hosted by Matt Besser, one of the creators of the Upright Citizens Brigade. He is one of the most prolific improv comedians of our generation, and he hosts the ONLY 100% improv podcasts on the internet. You can find recurring comedians like Tim Meadows, Paul Rust, Horatio Sans, and many more that you would recognize. Be sure to check out fan favorite "Hands in the Air" for a ridiculous and hysterical discussion on bestiality.
Who Charted?
This podcast stars Kulap Vilaysack, Howard Kremer and a weekly guest as they count down a wide variety of charts ranging from Top Pop Music to Top Comic Book Movies of All Time. The real star of this show is the chemistry between Kulap and Howard, who are easily 2 of the most funny and positive people on this planet. Howard Kremer is a national treasure, and I HIGHLY recommend you listen to a few of these. A couple of episodes that I would recommend are Enjoy It with Brody Stevens and Zouks, There It Is! with Jason Mantzoukas.
Sklarbro Country
The Sklar bros talk sports, pop culture, and everything recent in this hilarious podcast. You may remember these guys from the classic ESPN Classic show Cold Pizza, and you will definitely get nostalgic for that show while listening to SC.
Listen to noted Phish phan and Parks and Rec writer Harris Wittels try his hardest to convince noted skeptic Scott Aukerman to like Phish. So far he has not succeeded, but it is worth listening to for the quick and poisonous wit that Scott will unleash on Harris.
Garlin interviews famous actors such as Larry David, Bob Odenkirk, Conan O'Brien and many more. If you enjoy Jeff's personality, you will love this show.
Two Hollywood types who have been there and back give you the who's what of Hollywood and all things Hollywood. They know Hollywood like the back of their legs, and they talk about it with guests such as Donald Glover, Blake Anderson, and Michael Showalter.
Here's another interview show featuring very big names you would know, sadly I haven't listened to this one but I have heard good things from other Wolfheads around GAF.
Brian Posehn of alternative comedy fame goes on a Dungeons and Dragons adventure with a group of friends. This is the only D&D comedy podcast on the internet, definitely worth checking out if you are interested in that kinda stuff.
Tig Notaro and a few friends talk about a variety of topics that they find interesting. You were probably sold at the sight of the word "Tig".
Jake Fogelnest is a lover of all things obscure and odd and will discuss these things with an interesting guest each week. Honestly, he is one of my favorite people in the world because of his curiosity and the way he embraces everything new to him. He also asks some of the best questions in his interviews because of his vast knowledge of everything pop culture. Check out the episodes with Jimmy Fallon or Derrick Beckles and you'll understand why I love him so much.
For some of these episodes of CBB, I4H, and WC you will find video podcasts on the youtube channel Video Podcast Network. This is the absolute preferred way to watch if you have the time.
