(FOUR) PAUL F. TOMPKINS
If you need an example of Paul F. Tompkin’s awesomeness check out those “Doug Loves Movies” episodes where he plays multiple characters and does so without missing a beat. He’s done this on a few podcasts and always brings the funny. I like it more when we get normal Paul being witty, honest, and real. He’s genuinely an interesting guy, but I’ve gotten a little tired of the characters popping up in droves. That said, I love HIS podcast too.
(THREE) DOUG BENSON
Doug Benson might be the coolest guy in the world. I’ve been a fan of this guy for a long time. His “Doug Loves Movies” podcast is one of the first ones to get me obsessed with the new medium. Doug has a few shows now, but he still manages to show up on other people’s shows. He pops in on Joe Rogan and Deathsquad all the time and I’ve heard him everywhere else too. He just has a fun opinion of things. He is often hilarious and just a really likeable stoner personality.
(TWO) JAMES ADOMIAN
When you have James Adomian on a show, you get a lot of guests. Paul F. Tompkins had the same thing going for him, but I think Adomian has the character edge on him. I don’t think this guy has a podcast. If he does I’ve never heard it. I’ve heard him on the Deathsquad shows, Earwolf, Todd Glass, the old Ed Crasnick show, and pretty much everywhere. He is hilarious. He is a perfect example of discovering a comedian by listening to a podcast. There aren’t many people I find funnier than this dude right now.
(ONE) DUNCAN TRUSSELL
Duncan has his own podcast, but I rarely ever tune into it. That doesn’t mean I’m not a fan. Duncan is just a bright and interesting personality. He brings a super hippy spirit to any conversation I’ve heard him have. When he was on “You Made It Weird”, it was a great conversation. From there I’ve heard the guy on a few of the Deathsquad shows and other places. There is no one else like him. He adds to any conversation, idea, or positive attribute of any show. I’ve never heard anyone be an asshole towards him despite some assholes being around him. He’s in a bubble of enlightenment and it’s just hella fun to hear him experience a conversation.
