Are there any big podcast buffs around here? We could really use some feedback and constructive criticism after our first 5 episodes.

Basically, its a deep-dive style podcast where each episode we pick a food and dissect its origins and history in comedic fashion. Despite it going over history, it's got a light-hearted tone, since we're pitching it more as comedy/entertainment than education. (I do local standup comedy IRL, and straight food history would be a really boring niche topic to focus on solely.)

Anyone interested in checking it out? We have it available on YouTube and podcast platforms.

This is Episode 3, it's all about penne alla vodka. We've got all the other episodes on our channel, though if you're interested!

I never really put two and two together about it, but yeah I guess it's kind of funny when you mention it lol.

We actually started doing food blog stuff for fun like 7 years ago and had moderate success, did some local festivals and stuff, but fell off of it after a while. We just came up with the podcast idea recently as a means to bring it back.

No worries, amigo.

Here's the RSS link in case you wanted that instead. It's on Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Player FM as well.

Review food while your wife sucks you off. That should get you a bunch of hits along with a ban.

Then move into OF.

That's cool that you guys already have background/experience! What got you two into food blogging back then?

Did you get into improv through one of those classes held at improv theaters? Always seemed an interesting thing to do even if it was just for the sake of decreasing shyness/anxiety

I agree with you 100%, but she's suuuper quiet and introverted, so it's hard to get her talking more. Like, the way we write it, she adds quips that she wants to read to add in her two cents, and those are super few and far between. So we then take other parts of the script and just give them to her so she's talking more than like once every 10 minutes lol.

I'll definitely take it into consideration though since I hate the sound of my own voice haha.

I got into comedy by taking a standup class offered at a local standup venue. It was a lot of fun, and I kept doing it just as a hobby. (You need to have lots of friends to actually do it as a serious venture where you make money, though lol)

We started our food blog originally just as a sort of thing to do together when we first met. We both really like writing, and it clicked with us. During our hey-day, we were actually getting like 10,000 monthly views, got invited to festivals and stuff to do demonstrations and shit. It kinda went downhill when my wife had to start doing the blog for her job and lost interest in writing for fun though.

Pene is penis in spanish.

Is there a reference to that? If not, hard pass.

Is it? It's Italian for pen, also. Hence the pasta shape.

Otherwise, dammit. Huged missed opportunity on our part lol.

Oh man that video is ancient lol. The quality is really poor. We realized after like 4 videos that we didn't have a good enough camera to do it lol. That's partly why we came up with the idea for a podcast.

Listened to part of it, you really do have a good voice/tone for this, I can see why did well in improv! Like others said, having your wife have more parts of her own (rather than adding to your statements) would help.

As an aside, I think it's awesome you two are comfortable enough with each other to joke about these things.

I let her know people want to hear more of her and we agreed we'll try to give her more original parts of the script instead of just quips.
Like I said, I'd love to get her to talk more but she's a naturally quiet person and hates talking lol. But if there's people calling for it, hopefully it gets her to be more comfortable with it.

We did a bonus episode during the interim before we move on, while we collect feedback/criticism.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj47nDTODA8

She does talk more in this one, but we're still gonna work on getting her more lines in the next real episode.

Does anyone have any opinions on the content of the episodes? Like, are there too many jokes? Not enough jokes? Are the recipe portions at the end of the main topic too boring?

We're officially on iTunes now lol. I didn't bother with it at first cuz the process involved making like 3 Apple accounts or something and was a huge pain in the ass, and originally said fuck it. But here we are. Hopefully it pans out lol.

I legit am going to get to this, i'm working from home but literal hockey playoffs all day from noon til midnight is keeping my attention.

My best friend, and the inspiration of my username, hosts an AM talk radio show every Friday for 2 hours that airs in NY, LA, and MS and he's been doing it for 12 years, about the paranormal, ufos, cryptids, etc. and he interviews experiencees, television personalities and authors, and has a lot of his original material that he makes a show out of. It's like Coast to Coast AM lite with Art Bell if you are familiar with that at all. I can link him to it also if you don't mind so you can get some opinions from someone who made a career out of it.
