Where's the Best Place for Radio Comedy

I’ve been diving into different shows lately and I’m curious what everyone thinks — are there specific radio stations or programs that consistently deliver the best comedy? I caught a hilarious segment on NPR’s ‘Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me!’ last week, and I’m on the lookout for more gems like that. What are your favorites?

I’ve always enjoyed ‘The Moth’ for its blend of personal storytelling and humor… It’s casual but brilliant — you might find even more laughs there. What do you think of live storytelling compared to scripted comedy like on NPR?

But ‘Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me!’ is a classic! Have you tried ‘This American Life’ for some great storytelling and humor?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍​‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍⁠⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌​​⁠​⁠​⁠​​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌​​⁠​​​⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌⁠​‌‌​‌​‌‍​⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‍‍‌⁠​‍‌​⁠​‌​​‌‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌​‌‌⁠‍‌‌‌⁠⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

I totally get your excitement about ‘Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me!’ It’s such a gem. , it’s frustrating how hard it can be to find shows that nail both humor and good storytelling. Have you tried ‘My Dad Wrote a Porno’?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍​‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍⁠⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌​​⁠​⁠​⁠​​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌​​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‍‍‌‌‍‍‌⁠​⁠‌‌‌​‌​​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​‌‌⁠‌⁠‌​​⁠‌‍⁠‌‌​‌​‌⁠​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍‍⁠‌​⁠⁠‌‌​‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

If you’re into fun storytelling, check out ‘My Dad Wrote a Porno’. The humor’s so unique and it’s definitely a wild ride. What kinds of topics do you usually enjoy in comedy?

I think NPR’s ‘Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me!’ is fantastic, but for a different flavor of storytelling, you might enjoy ‘My Dad Wrote a Porno’. It’s surprisingly hilarious and the way they read the material makes it so unique. What kind of comedy vibes are you leaning toward?
