WTF is the best comedy podcast out there, hands-down. The 2-part with Louis is worth the price of admission alone, but there's many more that are as well. If you like comedy at all and a contrarian, alternative point of view, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Little bit off topic but WTF, while awesome, isn't really a comedy podcast because it isn't funny. If you're looking for something like that check out Comedy Bang Bang or something.

Comedy is in the ear of the beholder. I have had far more meaningful laughs (whatever the heck that means) at WTF then at comedy bang bang. I would say download both of them, they are totally different things.

I dunno, it sticks pretty close to the style and tone of Maron's own stand-up, which like Louis's is deeply personal and raw and itself challenges what constitutes 'comedy' to some degree. I'd say it's funny in the same way Maron himself is funny.
