Gotta say, I always enjoy following the In Our Time guests tangents, clarifications, qualifications, etc, and find it frustrating every time Bragg interrupts. Sometimes things just need to go a little off-track!

I’m SHOCKED that Will did not so much as mention Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast. One of the funniest and most unique podcasts I’ve ever heard and was introduced to on Will’s recommendation.

As a weekly listener to the bill simmons podcast I need to hear y’all’s take on him

Jimmy McMillan

My favorite podcast host has to be Michael Hobbes by a thin margin. 'You're Wrong About', 'Maitenance Phase', and 'If Books Could Kill' are excellent

Coco C

This was such an enjoyable ep. Brings out a different side when you get to talk about good media

Jimmy McMillan

I forgot about Dave Anthony. The Dollop and The West Wing Thing are amazing. Him and Michael are neck and neck

How you talk about XFm is how we will talk about cumtown in 20 years

Have to say I don't really agree with Luke on defining podcasts as inherently a kind of DIY thing. From my perspective, among the first podcasts I listened to were Radiolab and This American Life. Obviously these were radio shows that had existed for many years already, but as someone in the UK I had never heard of them and wouldn't have had easy access to them before. Also, by that time I'd already been in the habit of getting unofficial/probably illegal downloads of radio shows for years - mostly older British comedy, but also documentary/journalism. So when podcasts started there was never much distinction to me, they always were basically downloadable radio, just made official instead of illegal. If anything I was a bit disappointed that 'podcast' came to be associated with 'two men chatting' type shows.

Michael and Us

You may be right that it's a somewhat arbitrary distinction, and it's definitely a subjective feeling on my part as well. When you've been doing a podcast like this one for neigh on a decade, it's somewhat irritating that people backed by big entertainment conglomerates who have multimillion dollar contracts get to claim they're doing the same thing. After we recorded this, I in fact tried to think this question through a little more. -Luke https://www.lukewsavage.com/p/populist-new-media-is-just-old-fashioned

Michael and Us

I do know what you mean. I expect it's a function of the show originally being radio, and thus having to operate under strict time constraints. But on the podcast version now they often include a little epilogue that includes "more from Melvyn and his guests." I love those little conversations, and they always give the guests a chance to talk about things they couldn't get in to the main discussion. - Luke

Werner Herzog is easily the kindest and most humble artist I've met in person. I stood in line in Los Angeles for his book signing of Conquest of the Useless. He seemed unhurried and gave each person a generous 8 minutes or so to speak with him as he sat at a desk in a local bookstore called "Book Soup" back in 2009. I complimented his role in "Julian The Donkey Boy" to which he replied "oh you're too kind." Just a treasure of a person and artist. I'm looking forward to his forthcoming book titled " The Future of Truth". Nice episode gents. Always love these Herzog episodes.
