Jordan, Jesse GO!
www.maximumfun.org/listen
Jordan Morris and Jesse Thorn will bring anyone out of a bad mood. The podcast is said to be about adulthood and coping with growing up. By that I mean what it means to become your adult self and shed all the compulsions and ridiculousness of the younger you without turning into a jerk. Be careful, it might suck you in and might start spouting JJGO-isms to everyone and they will not know what to think of you. There is a whole culture to this and the best thing to do is to find a JJGO! friend. Mine is Leanne.
You Look Nice Today: A Journal of Emotional Hygiene
youlooknicetoday.com
You Look Nice Today goes along the same lines as Jordan, Jesse GO! In fact, they’re all friends. However, YLNT is a collaboration of three guys who met on Twitter and started a podcast. They host the show from three different towns as each member stays in their house to do the show. The show is cultural commentary and also hilarious. Merlin is an “internet celebrity” with a few sites such as youlooknicetoday.com, 5ives.com and 43folders.com.
The Moth Podcast
www.themoth.org/podcast
This is a new one I described to after hearing about it on This American Life. The Moth is an eight or 10 or 15-minute sound clip of a person telling a life story, usually in New York City. The stories are usually very funny and informative as well as inspiring and touching. People talk about the time they survived a mugging, traveling to the Amazon because of a curse, spending time in Savannah, GA. Really anything. It can be a tearjerker but it is very entertaining and maybe even a little pretentious.
