I have my own comedy podcasts - Hosks Half Hour, which very funny by the way. enough of that blatant plugging.
I am interesting in listening to other funny podcasts and I noticed that the Telegraph today included a list of funnypodcasts out there on the Internet. The list is a fairly predictable list of podcasts but they are predictable because they are all pretty funny.
I have found it quite difficult to find comedy podcasts because there are a lot of terrible comedy podcasts out there, usually with 2 people just talking to each other. So instead of comedy you just earwig on two people chatting. Even with the famous podcasts it usually ends with two people chatting. This is fine for the radio where they have 3 or 4 hours to fill on a regular basis but for people who have a weekly/monthly podcast then I think they should be a lot more comedy in them.
so before I let you go on your way to read the list of comedy podcasts you should consume, I want you to remember one thing, Hosks Half Hour is better than all of them, click here to see for youself

HOSKS HALF HOUR
Brilliant podcast is the brain birth of the Hosk, an Internet Enigma who is obsessed with putting the word Hosk into as many things as possible, he is also the inventor of the Hoskcast, like a podcast but funnier. It is a comedy podcast featuring amusing news, stand up and observations, twisted ambient music with odd stories. It has morale dilemmas and an obsession of reading Sun Stories.
