In the age of new media, the podcast is everywhere — providing a sort of replacement for the radio show and can be on any specific or esoteric subject matter available to be talked about. There are a lot of podcasts by comedians and about comedy, but also a few around by Philadelphia comedians. Here’s the rundown of the ones we know of:
Bird Text
 Who does it? Bird Text! (John McKeever, Tommy Pope, and Luke Cunningham)
How many episodes so far? Just one. But to be fair, they just started last week.
Could you describe it to me? Couple of dudes hanging out. Lots of fast-paced banter. They talk about anything — from inside comedy to just shooting the shit.
How would you rate it? Superb!
What’s the link? Libsyn Site
Cheapodcast
 Who does it? Bosom buddies James Hesky and Darryl Charles. Sometimes Mykal Carter Jackson.
How many episodes so far? Nine and going strong!
Could you describe it to me? It’s sort of like Bird Text, in that it is a couple of friends being funny and talking about random stuff, but James and Darryl are nicer and they don’t talk as fast as Tommy Pope. But there are few who do.
How would you rate it? Fantastic!
What’s the link? Podbean Site
The Feeko Factor
 Who does it? The Feeko Brothers!
How many episodes so far? Eighteen, but there hasn’t been a new one in almost a year. It is either done or just on hiatus.
Could you describe it to me? Bizarre. Lots of weird and funny bits. The Feekos eventually lose their show to irritating radio heel Josh Justice. This podcast was most likely conceived with the premise of “how much can we subject our audience to before they can’t take it anymore?” But that just makes the insanity of it all even funnier.
How would you rate it? Stupendous!

Good Talkin’ with Mike & Jay
 Who does it? Mike Marbach and Jay Piazza
How many episodes so far? Seven — hasn’t been updated in a little while.
Could you describe it to me? Mike and Jay record their phone conversations, talking about whatever comes up naturally — just like two friends would do on the phone!
How would you rate it? Truly wonderful!

Aaron Hertzog and Gregg Gethard are claiming this week’s Holding Court Podcast is the best one ever. It’s up to you to verify. [Holding Court Podcast]
Alejandro Morales wrote an article on the use of anti-gay slurs in comedy called “Comedy and the Fag Word.” It got picked up by Philly Gay Calendar. [Philly Gay Calendar]
Rumblings of a new Philadelphia comedy roast this month are getting louder. We’ll be the first (maybe second) to bring you all the information about that when it’s released. You can check out video last year’s roast of Kent Haines on Pat Barker‘s YouTube channel. [Pat Barker's YouTube Channel]
Philly Improv Theater‘s The Gross Show has a new night and time — Tuesday, March 29th at 8:30. Perhaps this is due to the last two shows getting noise complaints for being so raucous (this is what it is). [The Gross Show on Facebook]
Speaking of PHIT, the powerpoint from last Tuesday’s State of PHIT address from Greg Maughan is up if you weren’t there to attend. [Philly Improv Theater]
The second round of the March Madness Comedy Competition is tonight at the newly-christened Comedy X-Change open mic. Details of last night’s packed show will come tomorrow. [Facebook Event]

 Video of the Feeko Brothers’ Dirtiest Sketch Contest-winning sketch is online. Warning: it is simultaneously NSFW, revolting, and hysterical. [YouTube]
Bedtime Stories is tonight at Connie’s Ric Rac. The theme this month is “The Worst Night of Your Life.” [Facebook Event]
Quizzo Bowl VII, hosted by Philly comic Johnny Goodtimes has a promo video up starring Goodtimes, other Philly comic Chip Chantry, and city favorite “Fastball Pitcher” Bob Gutierrez. [YouTube]
The Holding Court Podcast continues to go strong, now into its thirteenth episode. The podcast, hosted by Aaron Hertzog and Gregg Gethard, is all about pro basketball, but rarely discusses it. [Holding Court Podcast]
The Get Offended Comedy Contest is next month at Connie’s Ric Rac and has a gigantic line-up with such offensive and profane heavyweights like Mayo, Brendan Kennedy, and Mike Rainey. Horrible things about people’s mothers/Jesus will be surely said. [Facebook Event]
Steve Gerben has been on a roll with videos recently, having put out New Age Medic a few weeks ago. Last week, he put out another: DADT Chess. [YouTube]
Ryan Carey has a weekly column in City Paper about the comedy scene in Philly called LOL With It. This week he documents some big time comedians who started out right here in this fair city. [City Paper]
