The Dana Gould Hour - Podcast Rankings and reviews

If you’re a fan of the host, then you’re already going to love the show. I cannot think of any other podcast that is so singularly expressive of the person creating it.Unlike other shows we only get one epic per month, but I haven’t been disappointed by a single episode yet. There is some super cool bonus content on the Patreon (no tiers just a low, flat rate) but the show itself is tops if you are a free content consumer like myself.Unlike most other standup comedian podcasts this isn’t just a long winded rambling interview show. There are sketches/characters like Two Guys From Boston, historical oddity stories like True Tales From Weirdsville, and an etherealEditing style that makes the listener feel like they are walking from room to room in a party catching snippets of different cool interesting conversations. I recommend this shell to anyone who was a monster kid, anyone who enjoys planet of the apes, anyone who grew up in the northeast of the United States, just about anybody I know really. I really love the show.

So here’s the thing with this podcast. I like it- I really do. I’ve listened for a long time, I enjoy the format- even with the recent changes. It probably helps that I agree with Dana’s politics, so when he gets all anti-Trump, Im 100 percent on board. My only gripe is his interviewing style. Dana has to inject a personal anecdote after EVERY story his guests have to say. If a celebrity mentions a particular actor or actress that they’ve worked with, Dana has to mention that he knows them as well. I have heard SEVERAL times now that Dana has met Mel Brooks, that he has met James Garner, that hes friends with The Pixies. Your long time listeners know your stories. Let your guests tell THEIR story.

Just hands down the most entertaining, enjoyable, well-produced, gluten-free comedy podcast out there!
I look forward to every episode drop. Dana can be a little sporadic about getting the show out, but given the joy his sensibilities provide, I couldn’t care less.
This is the podcast I keep and listen to a few times until the next delightful offering arrives. Love the long format. Love Dana’s geek/nerd, sci-fi, culture, film, crime, dark-shadow tastes!
Thanks to Adam Carolla for turning me on to Dana (via his memorable Huell Howser impressions). (I am also a fan of Greg Fitzsimmons, Greg Proops, Joe Rogan,

Loyal listener since year one. Great mix of comedy, history and just good old fashioned grandpa stories.

I’ve listened religiously for probably around 7 years. Listened to all prior episodes available. Watched his standup, Stan against evil, and Hanging with Dr. Z. Truly I loved all of Dana’s stuff. It’s just not enjoyable anymore. Every episode seems to be full of us vs. them politics. While listening I now find myself saying “I get it…my beliefs and core values lean the other way so clearly I’m a bad person”. I’m unsubscribing. Best of luck to Dana in all his future endeavors!
