Our reviewers hand out some superlatives, and pick the funniest, most interesting, and most important comedy podcast episodes of 2019
Photo-Illustration: Vulture If 2018 was the year podcasts came to television, 2019 is the year television came to podcasting. As Variety so keenly pointed out, some young upstart named Conan O’Brien basically invented podcasting this year. Virtually every cult television show gained its own official or unofficial tribute podcast — Office Ladies is even hosted by two of The Office’s original stars. The proliferation of comedy basketball podcasts has also been a welcome development for NBA fans.
The business side of podcasting also made headlines this year. Brand-new network Earios added a whole catalogue of must-listens, while heavy hitter Luminary stirred up controversy from day one. After the Crime Junkie plagiarism scandal, many shows finally started properly citing their sources. In addition, the support for paying podcast guests reached a new high, with Bernie Sanders himself even chiming in.
After a separation between Thirst Aid Kit and BuzzFeed in 2018 left listeners parched for nine months, the popular podcast landed at Slate this year.
It’s time to roll out the red carpet and bow down to Neal Brennan, homecoming king of 2019. Since saying farewell to the podcast world in 2016 when ending The Champs, a noticeable hole in the marketplace has been present. At the time, there hadn’t been a more surprising abdication of a throne since King Edward VIII left England in 1936. Luckily for us, and as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
