Comedy Bang! Bang!
2012 · TV series · 22 min episodes · 5 seasons
Created by Scott Aukerman
Based on Scott Aukerman’s popular podcast of the same name, COMEDY BANG! BANG! cleverly riffs on the well-known format of the late night talk show, infusing celebrity appearances and comedy sketches with a tinge of the surreal. In each episode, Aukerman engages his guests with unfiltered and improvisational lines of questioning, punctuated by banter and beats provided by bandleader, one-man musical mastermind Reggie Watts, to reinvent the traditional celebrity interview. Packed with character cameos, filmic shorts, sketches and games set amongst an off-beat world, COMEDY BANG! BANG! delivers thirty minutes of absurd laugh-loaded fun featuring some of the biggest names in comedy.

The "Farts and Procreation" episodes of Comedy Bang Bang.
It seems strange to me they would go on so long about podcasts and really only talk about public radio-ish podcasts. I've been listening to podcasts since the time when it was best described as an on-demand public radio feed. Public Radio has been riding the peaks and troughs of podcasting, but I wouldn't say they are leading any renaissance, real or imagined.
If there is a renaissance, it's being created by comedy podcasts. Let's mention:
Jordan Jesse Go!
WTF with Marc Maron
Comedy Bang Bang
You Made it Weird with Pete Holmes
The Nerdist
Doug Loves Movies
Harmontown
And I'm not a huge fan but you have to mention Adam Carolla and Kevin Smith here too.
These are the people who made podcasting more than just convenient radio.
