I don't know if the podcast as a medium will ever have the cultural impact that TV and movies do. It may never be super-mainstream.

I spent a lot of time bowling as a kid, mostly because I grew up in bowling alleys. They were kind of my playgrounds.

The podcast movement was really a creative survival mechanism for standup comics.

Humans cannot produce viable offspring with our closest animal cousin: the chimpanzee. We cannot impregnate a chimp. So you know what that means? No condoms.

With stand-up, there's a little bit of an exaggerated reality because things have to be manipulated to create comedy, to create jokes.

As a comedy nerd, I get a lot out of the podcast because I'm genuinely interested in the people I'm talking to.

The difference being that a nerd would wear a D&D shirt because he loves D&D while a hipster would wear a D&D shirt because it's ridiculous that he is wearing a D&D shirt.
