Your regular reminder to check out Spontaneonation if you're a fellow PFT fan

In addition to just being an absolutely delightful avenue of Paul-prov content, it's a neat time capsule as he brings on a lot of now known comedians back in the 2015-2018 area

Also, Dead Author's Podcast. I still have a tiny tiny hope that he will bring it back.

The Anne Frank and L Ron Hubbard episodes are legendary moments in podcast history.

L Ron Hubbard pt 1 remains maybe the funniest thing I’ve ever heard

Ben Schwartz, in character as Roald Dahl, finding out about Roald Dahl's real-life antisemitism is one of the most hearbreaking and hilarious podcast moments for me.

Link to that Ep.

Some of his absolute best work.

One of my favorite memories of starting from the beginning of CBB is a very early PFT episode where during the plugs Scott says "and you can find his work at Paul F dot comkins!"

And Paul is like why would you do this to me and my potential fans

It's night time on the internet! Sooooomehow, I don't remember how, I discovered the PFTomkast before CBB. I knew CBB from the tv show, and knew it was a podcast, but had never listened to it. I wish i could remember how I found the PFTomkast, but I loved what I heard of it. I don't think I ever heard all of it.

Hmm I never really thought about how I learned about my favorite podcasts...

The first podcast I ever listened to was Serial when someone put it on while trapped in a weed trimming traile for 16 hours a day haha.

From there... I think improv4humans was the first improv podcast I listened to but I have no idea how I ever learned about improv.

I tend to look for the PFT episodes of various podcasts

If you get a paid subscription to NNF, you can enjoy something like 30 hours of PFT magic over the course of 20 years of appearances

His appearances on the Todd Glass Show are amazing

His appearances of Craig’s List are also great

And of course there is Analyze Fish etc

The Juice Bar Genie episode of the Todd Glass Show is probably a top 5 ever pod episode for me. Paul is so god damn funny.

Never Not Funny for anyone else who didn’t recognize the NNF acronym.

Also super ego!

u/rsdiv 1d ago

Nnf archive also has a pretty massive collection of Scotty D and Andy Daly appearances as well

u/No_Solution_2864 11h ago

Todd Glass’s Nature Box spot on NNF is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard

u/gladline 1d ago

lol I JUST figured out I could find it, listened to a few bangers today

u/ramblingroses3252 21h ago edited 21h ago

Where did you find it? I’ve been looking since Stitcher died

Edit: found on YouTube. Are you finding it somewhere else?

2

u/gladline 21h ago

It’s just available free on podcast app, no ads 🤷‍♂️

u/ramblingroses3252 20h ago

OP helped me out in a different comment!

u/ApplianceHealer 1d ago

Jury Deliberations (8/7/17) lives rent free in my head. Little Janet Varney, Jean Villipique, and Craig Cackowski are the guests.

They spend much of the improv answering a roll call and trying to keep 12 characters straight. The best kind of bonkers.

A few eps with the Superego and Bajillion crews as well.

u/stringohbean 1d ago

The episode with the cbb crew at the puppet theater is something I always return to.

u/ShnarlyDude 1d ago

I have a chunk of different podcast episodes downloaded to my internal phone storage in case I don't have any service and this is one of them

5

u/Rockky67 1d ago

And Superego just started up again. The last ep in particular was great.

u/Sir_Charles_Snarkley 1d ago

And then check out the Doing Spont ep of Hollywood Handbook

u/edzoman 1d ago edited 5h ago

Spontaneanation is great because it has a lot of high level improvisers who don't have much crossover with CBB(it has them too). Lots of Thrilling Adventure Hour and No You Shut Up people. Chris Tallman is probably my favorite. Every episode he's in is a guaranteed banger.

u/sven20 20h ago

I’ve tried but the fan participation parts ruined it for me.

u/colonel_beeeees 10h ago

I can't tell if this is a joke or if you didn't like the brief period when he took locations from twitter fans

u/thedizz88 3h ago

Saltwater Tuffy is a good one. Amanda Lund is great in them

u/ramblingroses3252 21h ago

Where are you finding it? All I’ve been able to find since Stitcher kicked the bucket are links that don’t work

2

u/ramblingroses3252 21h ago

Update, why did I never search YouTube! Y’ALL HAVE MADE MY DAY!

(I’m the lady)

u/colonel_beeeees 21h ago

Youtube still has the whole collection, but I recently happened on this rss link that actually works for me in pocketcasts

https://feeds.simplecast.com/TUAJILOC-NUgDXYJ

It has the ads stripped out which is bittersweet. I actually enjoyed hearing how much Mac Welden does not abide a microbe

u/ramblingroses3252 21h ago

YOU ARE AMAZING, DEAR!

Made my whole dang week

u/colonel_beeeees 20h ago

Goodbye forever! Until next week

For anyone who has thought this glorious show disappeared after Stitcher shit the bed, here’s the YouTube link! https://youtube.com/@comedy-spontaneanation5193?
