In this episode I talk about some podcasts that I am really enjoying. These include Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast (www.wtfpod.com) and Greg Fitzsimmons “Fitzdog Radio” (www.fitzdogradio.com). Marc mentioned in an episode that he recently was on the road where he sold out consistently. He attributed this to his podcast, and the fact that instead of having people in the comedy clubs in the mood to hear comedy, they were people that had come to specifically come to hear Marc. Just another example of the loyalty podcasting develops.
In today’s show I play a clip from Greg Fitzsimmons show where is talking with Chris Hardwick (who I remember as the host of “Singled Out” on MTV with Jenny McCarthy) who has his own Nerdist Podcast (www.nerdist.com) and they again discuss the benefits that podcasting has brought them.
Realize Greg has been doing standup comedy for YEARS, does a show on XM/Sirius, has won four Emmys and is a regular on Howard Stern. He also has been on the Tonight Show, Letterman, Conan, and appeared on Comedy Central. He has also been on a lot of the VH1 “I love the (insert year)’s” and “Best Week Ever.” The same goes for Larry Miller. He is a veteran who is also just LOVING podcasting (calling it “Jazz” for creative people). Larry also has a podcast on Adam Corrolla’s network called “This Week with Larry Miller (www.adamcarolla.com/LMBlog).
Adam Corrolla, Marc Maron, Greg Fitzsimmons, Larry Miller, and Chris Hardwick have all come to realize the power of Podcasting.
If you’re interested, Greg just released a book called “Dear Mrs Fitzsimmons” which is getting great reviews.
