Nerdist Podcast with Adam Savage of Mythbusters
Just thought I'd share this rather entertaining podcast by Chris Hardwick (aka Nerdist) with Adam Savage of Mythbusters. Chris, who you may know from Singled Out on MTV and Attack of the Show fame, is by far the funniest nerd/geek standup comedian I've ever heard.
It's a really great listen and can be downloaded at the following address. Adam even does stand up for the first time in his life - and he's funny!

From Nerdist:
Number 10: Live @ Largo w/ Adam Savage!
I’m very lucky in my life to have smart, exceptionally nice friends. I happily count Mythbusters‘ own Adam Savage in that group and I was thrilled that he joined us for our very first live podcast. This was recorded at Largo in Los Angeles on April 5th, 2010 in front of a kick-ass crowd of delightful humans. As these people had exchanged hard-earned dollars for seats to this show, we made it a little longer than a normal podcast by incorporating live performances and taking Q & A from them at the end.
*SPECIAL NOTE: Adam did stand-up for the FIRST TIME in his life and DESTROYED. It was truly hilarious and I hope he continues to do it!
*SPECIAL NOTE #2: We all swear a lot in this, so if you wanted to listen to this with your kids, think again unless you’re sure the Internet has already taught them way worse things than F-bombs.
Excelsior!

I've tried listening to the Nerdist a couple of times but couldn't get into it - mainly because they were always talking over each other most of the time. I'll have to give it another go.
For Podcasts, I listen to Adam Carolla- he had a great one with Andy Kaufman's buddy Bob Zmuda today.
and lately- the MarketPlace of ideas. Check out their episode on North Korea.
lucky760I'm right there with you. I enjoy the things they discuss on Nerdist (e.g., the conversation with Drew Carey), but it feels sort of impotent because it's delivered like you're just eavesdropping on a conversation rather than being presented a production. I'm really surprised it's #6 among all podcasts and #1 in the comedy category above Ricky Gervais and Adam Carolla, but he does have a bit of a built-in podcast-centric geek audience.
ACP is always my first podcast of the day. The Bob Zmuda interview was great, but was cut too short due to the double booking.
Have you listened to Kevin Pollak's Chat Show? I discovered it thanks to his interview on Carolla. He has some really quality stuff. I also listen to the Parent Experiment, Frosty Heidi and Frank, After Hours with Heidi and Frank, the Pretty Good Podcast, and Loveline.
I haven't heard of the Marketplace of Ideas, but I'll give them a go.

I heard that interview with Pollack- and was thinking of checking his podcast out too - as the interview was funny. The only thing that put me off is that he literally used "literally" to mean figuratively about 7 times in the interview- I'm not sure I could take that.
