Hey, Look! It's a Bunch of Podcasts ~ inside jokes

If you're reading this, you're not a Luddite. You clearly have internet access and probably have an iPod...or a Zune. You have a Zune???? Hahahahahaha!!! Oh, man....everybody come quick! This guy has Zune! You people are real!
Okay, if you do have a Zune, just stop reading this and get your life in order. As for those with an iPod, if you're not downloading podcasts, you really should be. There is essentially all manner of podcast out there from sports to music to film, but really, the best ones are comedy-related. Download a few of these and provide yourselves with hours of free entertainment.

WTF? with Marc Maron (Twitter: @marcmaron): Marc Maron is a tremendous stand-up and storyteller, but he's managed to turn himself into one hell of an interviewer, too. A recovering substance abuser himself, Maron isn't afraid to ask tough questions of his guests (like Rainn Wilson, Donald Glover and Natasha Leggero) and will often take a bit of a combative stance towards them. He even once angered Gallagher (yeah, the watermelon dude) enough that he stormed out of the show. For the most part, though, Maron is an engaging host and gets interesting stories out of his guests from the truly hilarious to the heartbreaking.

Here's a clip of Maron with The League's insanely funny Nick Kroll doing his Mexican DJ character, El Chupacabra:

How Did This Get Made? (Twitter: @paulscheer & @msjunediane): Every two weeks, Human Giant's Paul Scheer, his wife June Diane Raphael and The League's Jason Mantzoukas get together to completely trash a shitty movie. Now, it helps if you've seen the film that they're crapping on, but you really don't need to. Marvel at Mantzoukas's ability to get just so very angry over a movie as inane as Gigli and listen to the trio (who are normally accompanied by a guest) as they pick apart in great detail films that have no right to even be talked about, let alone podcasted about.

The show doesn't have any embeddable clips on the ol' YouTube, so enjoy a sketch from Scheer's Human Giant (Scheer, Rob Huebel and Aziz Ansari) troupe featuring Jon Benjamin:

Affirmation Nation with Bob Ducca (Twitter: @bobducca): Bob Ducca is Scott Aukerman's pathetic ex-step-father who was briefly married to Aukerman's mom in the '80s. Ducca suffers from a variety of ailments and phobias and likes to talk the ear off of people, even when they're unwilling to listen. Ducca, in reality, is a creation of comedian Seth Morris, who originated the character on Aukerman's Comedy Bang Bang podcast. Since then, the character has been spun off into a quick, daily podcast of only a few minutes where Ducca offers medical advice, give product reviews and answers e-mails from listeners.

Here, Bob offers listeners a guided meditation:

Gelmania (Twitter: @brettgelman): Brett Gelman is a comic and actor who has appeared on Curb Your Enthusiasm and co-stars on Chris Elliott's ridiculous Walker, Texas Ranger send-up, Eagleheart. Gelman's podcast is brand new and it's exactly what you expect from the man responsible for the absolutely filthy "iBrain" short story from an episode of Comedy Bang Bang from last year. Gelman's vulgarity is so inane and over-the-top that you can't help but laugh uncontrollably at it. This podcast certainly isn't for everybody, but only two episodes in, Gelman has already featured Megan Mullally, Adam Scott and the equally divisive Tim Heidecker.

One of his more infamous bits from Comedy Bang Bang, here Gelman performs a scene from his one-man show about Jesus Christ. Again, not for everybody:

The Pod F. Tompkast (Twitter: @PFTompkins): Paul F. Tompkins might be one of the funniest stand-ups working today and his monthly podcast is a must-listen for comedy fans. Each month, Tompkins talks to his friend Jen Kirkman, tells stories involving one of his many characters (including Ice-T, Andrew Lloyd Webber and John C. Reilly) and plays clips from the show he runs at LA's Largo Theater. The Tompkast can veer off into pretty absurdist territory, but it remains one of the best comedy podcasts out there.

Another one of Tompkins's characters, Ice-T explains his very literal pyramid scheme:
