Speaker 1: Hi everybody, and welcome to another edition of Access podcast,
Speaker 1: the podcast about Podcasts. I'm Maddie Stout and this week
Speaker 1: I was gonna tell you that this is a special
Speaker 1: episode where we give you our podcast picks, which is
Speaker 1: which is what it is? You know, this week we
Speaker 1: are going to tell you a podcast that we're listening
Speaker 1: to and that you should be listening to. But the
Speaker 1: real reason we're doing this podcast, Z, is because you
Speaker 1: didn't do your job. We didn't get a guest this week.
Speaker 1: Just be on, let's just listen play out, Let's be honest.
Speaker 1: Z dropped the ball and completely blew it. Guys really bad.
Speaker 1: That's strike one. Okay, I'll take it of who knows,
Speaker 1: probably so listen. But this is fun. We're just gonna
Speaker 1: talk about some podcasts that we're listening to right now that,
Speaker 1: of course, you can also find these on I Heart
Speaker 1: radio and anywhere else that you listen to podcasts. You know,
Speaker 1: we we we say anyway you can listen to a podcast,
Speaker 1: listen to a podcast. I've got my list. I think
Speaker 1: a couple of them I've talked about maybe before, but
Speaker 1: I want to reiterate the importance of listening to these shows.
Speaker 1: You've got three that you've picked out. The next time
Speaker 1: we do this, I think we're gonna do this probably
Speaker 1: once a month. We're gonna start walking around the offices
Speaker 1: and getting opinions from people and actually doing a little
Speaker 1: more production on it. But again, this week ball dropped.
Speaker 1: This is what you get. This is what you get.
Speaker 1: Thank you the tens of people who have been listening
Speaker 1: in our fans. We appreciate you, um and hopefully you'll
Speaker 1: appreciate this episode. So anyway, uh, let's get things started.
Speaker 1: I want to start with the podcast that everybody should
Speaker 1: listen to. I this is the one podcast stuff stops
Speaker 1: when this one comes on. I tell people listen. This
Speaker 1: is the one that I make time for. This is
Speaker 1: my Wednesday mornings I do. I get up at like
Speaker 1: five am and and have a little workout regimen and
Speaker 1: I this is my my jam. It's from Gimlet Media,
Speaker 1: which we all know I love. It's called Reply All,
Speaker 1: PJ Vote, Alex Goldman. I love them, by the way.
Speaker 1: I just I never look at their pictures. Z I
Speaker 1: never looked because I just like to imagine I'm an
Speaker 1: old school radio guy. I don't go and look to
Speaker 1: see what people look like, because it's usually disappointing. PJ
Speaker 1: vote good looking dude, right, I was kind of I
Speaker 1: was impressed. I couldn't really tell from the picture of Alex,
Speaker 1: but but I you in my head it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, I expect two giant nerds. This is a
Speaker 1: podcast about the Internet. And I know when you hear that,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, that doesn't sound cool at all, but
Speaker 1: it is very cool. When they first came out, they
Speaker 1: were the first podcast Gimlet put out after startup, and
Speaker 1: I didn't listen to it because I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't listen to a podcast about the Internet. But they
Speaker 1: do a lot of different segments, and one of the
Speaker 1: segments I really love z is called yes s No.
Speaker 1: It's where they take something from the internet, a tweet
Speaker 1: and explain it. Now this past week they did this,
Speaker 1: Uh I guess this was two weeks ago and the
Speaker 1: entire episode was talking about one tweet and it's fascinating. Well,
Speaker 1: you have to listen to the show. I can't really,
Speaker 1: honestly like for me to explain it, it it would take
Speaker 1: a long time. But if you, if you like, if
Speaker 1: you if you want to know what it was, here's
Speaker 1: a little taste of it so you can get an idea.
Speaker 1: So four quadrants famine, war, death, pestilence. I have never
Speaker 1: been happier than listening to you describe this tweet. It's
Speaker 1: so funny. Nothing, nothing makes sense. And also up at
Speaker 1: the top there's this text. I guess it's sort of
Speaker 1: like a creole patois sort of dialect brought as we
Speaker 1: will fight wars for the Queen and find the way
Speaker 1: and way is spelled w A E and Queen is
Speaker 1: spelled q w E E. N okay. I think this
Speaker 1: is the most complicated tweet that you've brought into Yes,
Speaker 1: now do do you listen to that show? I've listened
Speaker 1: a few episodes because I know you talked about it
Speaker 1: so much, but um, I haven't listened to their entire
Speaker 1: track list yet. It is being a bowl. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I here. And their production levels insane. It's great.
Speaker 1: Uh They're they're there, producers, Domiano, Shruthy. I'm missing a
Speaker 1: few of them. Uh Fhia Bennon. Uh, I'm a producer.
Speaker 1: I pay attention. And by the way, any of you
Speaker 1: are invited on this program. I know, I know Z's
Speaker 1: reached out a couple of times. Please email me back. Yeah, emails. Hey,
Speaker 1: if you get an email from Z, that's a big deal.
Speaker 1: This is a big deal show. You know, the entire
Speaker 1: weight of I heart radio podcasting revolves around this f
Speaker 1: and show. It does the whole thing. If we go down,
Speaker 1: it all goes down. Keep us alive. Yeah, I got
Speaker 1: a couple of we're we have a new podcast studio,
Speaker 1: by the way, it's beautiful and well have we have
Speaker 1: cameras and and all kinds of stuff that will be
Speaker 1: unleashing on onto the public pretty soon. Because I'll be
Speaker 1: honest with you, we're pretty good looking. Yeah, especially Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's not wrong. Me a little long in the tooth,
Speaker 1: but I'm all right, all right, listen, what do you
Speaker 1: got for me? All right? So this is gonna be
Speaker 1: real millennial on me. I want to hear that. So, um,
Speaker 1: you've heard of BuzzFeed? Correct? They Yeah, you've heard of you?
Speaker 1: I know you guys should have seen his face. I
Speaker 1: was like, wite. Um. So there's two girls on BuzzFeed.
Speaker 1: Their name is Kelsey and Kate, and they started their
Speaker 1: own like podcast. They're hilariously they're so funny. Kelsey is
Speaker 1: probably one of the most popular BuzzFeed like personalities, and
Speaker 1: it's just it's called adult Ship and it's everything. It's
Speaker 1: basically catered towards women and with what we go through
Speaker 1: in our day to day lives, and they just make
Speaker 1: it so funny. And a lot of my friends and
Speaker 1: I listened to it and we always talked about it after.
Speaker 1: And it's from there called f boys. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to say it, but like, okay, dealing with them and
Speaker 1: just girl stuff that we go through and dating, and
Speaker 1: it's I know, and I know it sounds boring. It
Speaker 1: was like, oh what those girls can talk about it,
Speaker 1: but they just make it so funny. They just talk
Speaker 1: about it for an hour straight and a minute. I'm
Speaker 1: always there. Let's check it out. Look, when you're in
Speaker 1: a romantic city and you're hanging out with someone for
Speaker 1: a week straight, all day every day. Some feelings were
Speaker 1: exchanged over the trip. It was raining, we had have
Speaker 1: a lot of wine. I think I'm dating my body.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Probably not for me,
Speaker 1: probably not for you. But it's not you know. That's
Speaker 1: the great thing about podcasting. Doesn't have to be But
Speaker 1: what if they if you start a podcast and you
Speaker 1: and you tell me this show is going to be
Speaker 1: liked by everyone, I'm going to tell you no one
Speaker 1: will like it. Nobody will like it. Yeah, it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: You gotta you have to have a focus when you
Speaker 1: do a podcast. A little lesson for you have a
Speaker 1: mission statement, stick to it. If your content doesn't fit
Speaker 1: inside what your mission statement is of your show, don't
Speaker 1: do that content. Boom. Yeah, that's somebody from sales the
Speaker 1: other day like, oh, maybe we can get the LinkedIn
Speaker 1: CEO and have him on your podcast. I said, no,
Speaker 1: he's not a podcaster. I don't care if he's the
Speaker 1: LinkedIn CEO. I mean he's I'd love to do an
Speaker 1: interview with him, but not for my podcast. Doesn't make sense,
Speaker 1: doesn't fit in the mission statement. A podcast about podcast
Speaker 1: listen over. Okay, the next podcast that I picked out
Speaker 1: is my favorite new podcast and I say anything that's
Speaker 1: been out recently within the last year as a new podcast.
Speaker 1: It's from the folks at ESPN thirty for thirty. I mean,
Speaker 1: they already make incredible, incredible documentaries. I saw a quote
Speaker 1: that referred to this podcast as the This American Life
Speaker 1: of Sports, and it is it is the same level
Speaker 1: of production, the same amount of thought. Um. I adore
Speaker 1: this show. I can't wait when episodes come out. The
Speaker 1: seasons have been shorter, but it's thirty for thirty podcasts. Uh.
Speaker 1: And the episode that I'm going to suggest that you
Speaker 1: listen to is called Yankee Suck and they Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: it's about the guys who came up with the Yankee
Speaker 1: T shirts. And it is incredible the story behind the
Speaker 1: kids who came up with this and the empire that
Speaker 1: they built out of these T shirts. Because anyway, if
Speaker 1: you've ever I lived in New York, you'll see Yankees
Speaker 1: Suck T shirt, you know, you know when people come
Speaker 1: to town or you especially in Boston. They I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's exactly you know, you see somebody
Speaker 1: wearing a shirt. You know they're from Boston. It's just
Speaker 1: about these Boston or a Mets fan, but really big
Speaker 1: in Boston. But anyway, this is a great podcast. It's
Speaker 1: so well done, and it's another one if you're on
Speaker 1: a road trip sticking on listening. All there's not I mean,
Speaker 1: there's not a bad episode. They don't exist. And it's
Speaker 1: really interesting because they make such great films I'm interested
Speaker 1: to see how they translate just to audio because for
Speaker 1: the films, I love seeing the visuals obviously, but I'm
Speaker 1: excited to listen to that. Oh it's so good. All right,
Speaker 1: check out this club. What better flashpoint for this then
Speaker 1: a final ship? Oh, a bunch of people. There's a
Speaker 1: playoff game happening, and Ray and Eric come out with
Speaker 1: the shirt in the font of SSD Control that says
Speaker 1: Yankee Sucking Blue and on the back the day of
Speaker 1: the show and the name of not their band, right,
Speaker 1: So it's like a double bootleg, which you have to
Speaker 1: give them kudos for not only bootlegging their friends band,
Speaker 1: but bootlegging you know, the Yankees. You want to listen
Speaker 1: to the rest of them, absolutely, all right. My next
Speaker 1: one is also a new one from Crooked Media. They're
Speaker 1: the guys that do pod Save America, pot Save the World,
Speaker 1: your favorite, my favorite. Why haven't you gotten any of
Speaker 1: those guys on what's going on? I don't know. I'm nervous.
Speaker 1: I should email them. I'll email them. Let's just say this.
Speaker 1: Let me give Z a little credit here. Z has
Speaker 1: never produced a radio show before. This is true at all.
Speaker 1: This is true. This is her first time we're producing
Speaker 1: a radio show, and I've I've put her in a
Speaker 1: position of of of a lot of responsibility, and I
Speaker 1: give her a hard time. But I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: just trying to make you better pushes me. I want
Speaker 1: to make you the best, best that and I hold
Speaker 1: you to my standard. And I was the best producer
Speaker 1: in the history of radio. Well, I was so good.
Speaker 1: I was the best. In fact, I'm sure somewhere there
Speaker 1: is a monument to me up in at least three cities. Wow. Actually,
Speaker 1: but I was really, really good, really good. Just I'm
Speaker 1: so good. I hate myself. I had a salesperson the
Speaker 1: other day. Why are you always like so self deprecating.
Speaker 1: I'm because I suck. It's much better to just know
Speaker 1: that and move on with your life. All right, what
Speaker 1: do you got? All right? So keep it. It's UM
Speaker 1: with Ira Madison the Third, Ira Madison the Third. Yes,
Speaker 1: I already like it. Um. He's a culture columnist and
Speaker 1: he kind of brings He brings everybody from journalists to
Speaker 1: comedians to actors onto his podcast to talk about anything
Speaker 1: that kind of crosses over with pop culture and politics.
Speaker 1: The latest episode was Woody Allen's controversy. Right, so he
Speaker 1: is a man in this film, but what with everything
Speaker 1: that's going around him with his daughter and all of that,
Speaker 1: and the fact that he married his daughter well also
Speaker 1: Dylan Farrow like and how I don't even get started disgusting.
Speaker 1: So it's just a really great way to mix pop
Speaker 1: culture and politics if you're trying to get into both
Speaker 1: those things. All r. Let's check it out. Alec Baldwin
Speaker 1: and Diane Keaton are acting, They're creating a start. So
Speaker 1: amidst other actors coming forward to rebuke Woody Allen, for
Speaker 1: some reason, Alec Baldwin and Diane Keaton just decided to
Speaker 1: jump out the fucking window this week and be like,
Speaker 1: I support wood fuck everybody else while wearing her fiercest
Speaker 1: belted trench. What's that guy's name again? Ira Madison the Third?
Speaker 1: I will check out that podcast. It sounds interesting to me.
Speaker 1: I grew up with a guy named Harry Lips Junior.
Speaker 1: Harry Lips Junior, so not yes that, Yeah, you missed
Speaker 1: the point of that. Harry Lips Jr. Yeah, So did
Speaker 1: his parents do that to him on purpose? Yeah? His
Speaker 1: dad named me Harry Lips on purpose? I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: his son that he went through. Yeah, Harry Lips JR. Romney,
Speaker 1: West Virginia. Where it up. Alright, My final podcast is
Speaker 1: one it's been on since I've been in podcasting, and
Speaker 1: that's ten years. I was very I'm proud of this
Speaker 1: podcast because it was the first one that I found
Speaker 1: and really really promoted on Stitcher. This was the first
Speaker 1: podcast that I was like, this is one that we
Speaker 1: need to like make an important podcast and put on
Speaker 1: Stitcher and like put in a very prominent position. It's
Speaker 1: called The Moth. A lot of you know about the Moth.
Speaker 1: The Moth is stories told from a first person perspective,
Speaker 1: so people on stage, unscripted and they tell us stories
Speaker 1: about their lives. There are so many good episodes of
Speaker 1: this of this podcast because there are so many good
Speaker 1: moths because they do them all over the country now
Speaker 1: pretty much if you're in a large city, they do moths.
Speaker 1: They have a they'll have a you know, if you
Speaker 1: look in your your lifestyle pages, they'll probably have a moth.
Speaker 1: And it's and it's normal people um telling a true
Speaker 1: story and they just submit themselves into it or yeah,
Speaker 1: or just or just show up it if it's an
Speaker 1: open cause there a genre for each episode, like they'll
Speaker 1: have a they'll have a theme, and then all the
Speaker 1: stories are based on that theme and the podcast. Again,
Speaker 1: it's been out for quite a long time, but you
Speaker 1: know it's you know, pretty simple concept. They take the
Speaker 1: stories from the stage and put them on a podcast. Um,
Speaker 1: I haven't, I haven't. I have to find this episode.
Speaker 1: And I'm really excited that I did. Uh, this is
Speaker 1: a really old one, but I enjoy it because the
Speaker 1: guy's telling a story I really enjoy. And it's a
Speaker 1: story about you know, he was a cop and and
Speaker 1: that's a cool thing, like you'll have these guys who
Speaker 1: became writers and other things who had other careers or
Speaker 1: and they and uh, this story involves just him finding
Speaker 1: a young man riding on a bicycle with another guy
Speaker 1: late at night, and and and I can't do you
Speaker 1: any more than to just check out this little taste
Speaker 1: of it. And then well, well, all these episodes that
Speaker 1: we talk about today, we'll put up links on our
Speaker 1: Facebook page so you can go check them out. But
Speaker 1: check this one out. There. There are two cops up front,
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting in the back. And when I ride
Speaker 1: with these guys, I don't really comment about what they do.
Speaker 1: I don't engage them, you know, in any kind of debates.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm I'm there to bear witness and then
Speaker 1: see what I can do with it, you know, in
Speaker 1: my work. Anyways, they're they're riding up SX Street. It's
Speaker 1: kind of Miller time, you know, and I love it already.
Speaker 1: It's just good stuff. So um the Moth to check
Speaker 1: that out if you haven't already. If you don't know
Speaker 1: about the Moth, then this this is one of those
Speaker 1: put on your like must listen to list right after
Speaker 1: s Town serial. You know that. My last one is
Speaker 1: from Gimlet Media. What What What? And I mentioned this
Speaker 1: before way back in UM some of our earlier episodes.
Speaker 1: But it's called Homecoming, and it is a scripted series,
Speaker 1: which I never thought i'd really get into, like for podcasts,
Speaker 1: but this has Katherine Keener, Oscar Isaac, David Schimmer, Dave Cross,
Speaker 1: Michael Sarah, a whole bunch of people. And I love
Speaker 1: this podcast so much. Katherine Keener already has a voice
Speaker 1: I can listen to all the time, and it is
Speaker 1: about she is a case worker for this experimental factory
Speaker 1: and she was retired and she works in a diner
Speaker 1: and someone David Schwimmer's character comes back and kind of
Speaker 1: asked her to come back about this certain project. So
Speaker 1: if you're really getting into if you like storytelling and
Speaker 1: you want a scripted podcast, I would start with Homecoming.
Speaker 1: Rand I'm sorry, I'm might certainly understand what you're suggesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, when I'm just floating this idea,
Speaker 1: why we grab bergman wife for clean Homecoming? For existence?
Speaker 1: Homecoming did exist? Randolph? No, I mean I know that. No,
Speaker 1: it does. It does exist. So let me just make
Speaker 1: sure I understand. Your solution is to repeat the exact
Speaker 1: sequence of wonders that led to the situation. No, Audrey,
Speaker 1: Audrey a series of rash misuses of experimental medication. That's
Speaker 1: your solution. That's the idea you're floating around. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a big fan of that podcast. Musin and Seth Lynd,
Speaker 1: who were on our very first episode. Yeah, that show
Speaker 1: is doing really well. And I saw I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was her or not, I swear it was
Speaker 1: her on I've been watching Amy Sedaris is news. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, so her her new TV show at Home
Speaker 1: with Amy Sedaris. Holy hell? Is it funny. It is
Speaker 1: so funny. I mean, I mean, I know this is
Speaker 1: a show about podcast so we shouldn't talk about TV,
Speaker 1: but put that on your list. But anyway, yeah, so
Speaker 1: I I I swear it with her on this episode
Speaker 1: and they're in the groundlings together and I'm sure, like
Speaker 1: you know, but I looked on IMDb and I didn't
Speaker 1: see her, but I'm like, I know that was her.
