Who Are These Podcasts?

It's yet another installment of our ongoing educational series - How Not to Podcast. This show is a gem. When you can decipher what the two hosts and producer Mr. Google are saying it's amazing. It should be transcribed and released in paperback. Nick Bailey, cohost of the Fancounters podcast (http://fancounters.libsyn.com/), makes his WATP debut. We talk a lot about how he's a "nice guy" and probably doesn't deserve the social media backlash that's about to be unleashed.

We made it bay bee!! Episode number 100, the show where we finally roast ourselves. Karl is joined by (in order of importance) Kevin, Andy, Cros, Joe, and Chris. Everyone takes their shots at the most poorly reviewed show of all time. And then we find out this isn't the most poorly reviewed show of all time. D'oh!! Huge thanks to additional contributors including Who's Right, The Story Behind, Planet Maynard, Jen from the Jingles Department and Marcus from the UK. 

History Dweebs reached out to us and asked us to review their show. They are also big supporters of WATP and freedom of speech so, while it was tough to sh*t on them, we somehow found a way. Andy, the GOAT, joins the show and brings a "bit." We also read a bunch of negative iTunes review. Most importantly, we tease episode number 100. 

Joe joins the show along with his more famous brother Andy. Even though it appears the boys of Hindsight is 30-30 will be hanging it up, we offer many constructive ideas on how they might improve their show. Ideas like, "editing." It's pretty groundbreaking! Don't forget to give us a five star review on iTunes if you haven't already. We now have a league-leading 157 one star reviews, so we don't need anymore of those. We're good. 

This is a bonus episode where I admit that I was forced to take down episodes 88 and 97 due to cyberbullying. Anyone who is interested in my response to a bunch of strangers hoping to get me fired can check it out. Spoiler - they're all heroes. 

This podcast was not fun to listen to but was a ton of fun to review. While to some it may seem like we're being very mean for no reason, the actual purpose of WATP is to get people like this to think twice before starting a podcast. Future hosts should ask themselves questions like, "Am I interesting to listen to?" "Can I pronounce words?" and "What's my mental disorder that I think I should be hosting a show when I'm a complete idiot and have nothing of value to contribute?"

Cros joins the show to discuss all things Alex Jones including some wild statements he's made in the past, what a typical episode sounds like, his endless supply of snake oil infused products, his cool bumpers, and of course the fact that he's bat-sh*t crazy. We also discuss Planet Maynard, the interview with Deana Marie, Cros's rebuttal to a game we recently played, and we tease next week's episode. It's a show jam packed with information you need for protection from the globalists.

We were thrown a curve ball this week. Rather than the usual show format, I had a conversation with Deana Marie, the host of Twisted Philly. I was mainly interested in her obsession with negative reviews. I'm not saying everyone should be like us and read each of their one-star reviews on the show, but if you're going to put yourself out there you should learn how to deal with criticism in a healthy way (hint: offering a bounty for someone's identity may not be healthy).

We're joined once again by Doug from Who's Right Podcast. If anyone has a reason to hate us, it's Doug. First we bashed his show on episode 86. Then we had him cohost on a show that reviewed a three hour podcast about the earth being flat. And now he's listening to terrible video game music and nerds discussing topics that couldn't matter less. Sorry Doug. At the end of the show Karl shoehorns in more Isotopes music. Check out the band if you're interested: http://theisotopes.com/

This week we head back down under to review an Australian show called Planet Maynard... or Bunga Bunga... or something. If you like lots of random drops, background noise, a distracting amount of editing, and music beds for no reason, then you're an idiot. And also, you'll love Planet Maynard. Andy the GOAT is back on the show to play clips, some of which are correctly labeled. He also plays everyone's favorite game, Name the Worst Song by This Band I Just Said.

Are you super proud of your lifestyle? Do you host a show about how awesome your life decisions are? Apparently these vegans think that the way they live their life is so amazing and important that you should listen to them explain how great they are. I don't know, I think you should create a show that features content that is interesting... but what do I know? We also talk about a podcast that is trying to shut us down. And we talk about a guy who is in the WATP hater hall of fame. 143 John!

This week we review a show hosted by two guys named Bill who interview a celebrity whose first name is Bill. Just about everything in that previous sentence is false. It's just grown children playing pretend... poorly.  We also spend some time talking about all of the hate we've been receiving recently. There are a lot of angry people on the internet. I wish these angry people would focus their efforts on something that is truly enraging - terrible improv comedy.

This was a fun week. Doug from Who's Right joins us to discuss a group of people who think the Earth is flat and stationary.  It turns out these dummies are very bad at reasoning. Also, these dummies are dumb. Surprising. 

This week we spread holiday cheer by reviewing a snoozefest called The Unwritable Rant. Somehow this podcast has interviewed Anthony Cumia, Jim Norton, Ari Shaffir, Charlie Daniels and many other celebrities who are way too good for this show.  But it's not just interviews. The often blurry Juliette Miranda also explains how Wild Turkey tastes and tells you boring stories from her life. Who's Juliette Miranda you ask? Great question. Kevin joins the show and goes on and on about Star Wars.

Who's Right is a podcast who asked us to review their show. The last time that happened Everyone Has a Podcast got extremely butt hurt and their mom called our mom. And then we got in trouble. Hopefully this one turns out better. Joe joins the show once again and for some reason promotes heroin use. He is extremely pro heroin. We also discuss Net Neutrality for no reason whatsoever. What is this, a show that deals with topical issues? I sure hope not. Who would care what Karl Aspergers has to say?
