Jokes on you, I wanted to cry in my garden while listening to J. Hope Stein read her poetry out loud.
“You’re like the piece of paper they put on overhead projectors and a tired dad writes equations on.”
Pete is not on the show all the time but when he pops up I’ve come to think of it like my generation’s Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner.
If you’re looking for a good place to start: 100th episode with Ira Glass, every Pete Holmes episode, and Quest Love have really stuck with me.
Great show
Can’t for wrong with this podcast. Mike is a treasure!
Love Mike, this podcast is sometimes just a little low energy for me at times, personally. I do always enjoy the interviews and Mike is able to draw out authenticity from his guests compared to other celebrity podcasts. I’d give it five stars if the intro and transition music wasn’t on the low- energy/depressing side. I often don’t listen to episodes because the beginning music vibe just isn’t for me. I’d go see Mike, if he came to MA to do a comedy show, in a SECOND!!
