The future of stand-up, the future of podcasting (not hyperbole)

“What makes this podcast great is that it truly is one of the only shows in the currently over saturated market of comedy podcasting that is truly doing something new. In the world of comedy podcasts you could listen to ten thousand different stand-ups interviewing each another in a reverential yet incestual way OR you can listen to what Cameron Esposito is where she’s actually forwarding the medium of both podcasting and stand-up into the place it’s going to be in ten years (whether all comedians like it or not). The whole idea of the internet is that we’ve created a global village where interpersonal exchange of thoughts and ideas become immediate and without the barrier of time or distance. And yet many comedians have been resistant to this idea as it applies to standup because they want control of when and who hears what material at which stage of its development. It’s understandable that stand-ups get upset when unfinished material gets posted on You tube, but the thing is IT WILL NOT EVER STOP HAPPENING. Lots of things that weren’t ready for the internet end up there so it’s time for comics to embrace where media is going and how immediate it is.
That’s where I think PYHT is forward thinking and giving comics a chance to go forward into the horizon where the entire world can see you on a regular night and not just the fifty people in the club. So it makes me annoyed when certain comics go on the show and don’t want their stuff on the podcast. Again, I get why but I think the comics who have their stuff cut from the podcast need to realize that nothing will ever stop their stuff from being posted online against their will so at least they should embrace this idea that a podcast that can put some aim to how their stuff is spread on the net without being completely ready.
I’m more forgiving to a comic who has to cut their material from PYHT because they’re about to go on late night TV or release their special. But when some comics admit that they had it cut because it’s too new or raw I feel perturbed that they don’t get it. On the internet you can see every undercooked life decision that a child celebrity makes; people who are trying to figure out who they are as humans and yet have everything they’re trying to do and say for the first time scrutinized. And yet some comics don’t want their stuff online because they haven’t buttoned some joke just perfect. Come on, people!
Alright, this review came out a little angsty but I didn’t mean it to go that way. I just want to explain that this show really is a progressive, original and very funny and I hope it gets the recognition that it deserves.”

“Knew this show existed from Doug Loves Movies but only found out it had a podcast after the host, Cameron Esposito, appeared on Kickin' It Mary-Lynn Style. Listened to one episode, the stand-up had me hooked, but the factor that made me go back and listen to all the episodes was Esposito...”Read full review »
