Comedy #214

Join Paula Poundstone, co-host Adam Felber and a long list of characters, real and imaginary, on Nobody Listens To Paula Poundstone, a podcast taking the fun of a late-night show, the wit of a public radio show, and the knowledge of a guest expert while setting the volume to the max. Acerbic yet infectiously funny, Nobody Listens To Paula Poundstone invites listeners into the audience of this absolutely ludicrous variety show, if they can follow along…or not.

    I liked the Institute podcast. This one at first I was sorta not sure as it seemed...like it was trying to hard. BUT it has really come into its own now and I look forward to the new episodes every week. Update. After some time, I still listen to show every week. But increasingly less and less a fan of Bonnie. And now CC had own show. Also- I think we need more of the phone calls. They are a favorite always and like the cast of characters they bring.

    Peeing my pants
    I laugh so hard at this show that I have to hold in the pee. Adam’s exasperation at trying to keep Paula on topic; Captain Crinkle, Tom Koin... so so funny. I have always been a fan of Paula - (I’m of a certain age), then of Adam and Paula on Wait Wait. I am so delighted that I found this! In these dark times it truly helps! So I wrote this 4 years ago and just realized it was never submitted!! Here’s what I want to add. Recently I have felt like there is too much focused on Bonnie! I thought she was producer and sometimes chimed in with her non-sequitor interruptions - the show worked well because of that dynamic! But the show is Paula’s with Adam as co-host! Now Captain Crinkle has her own spin-off which is fine, but I want to hear more from Paula and Adam! With Tony chiming in too! Today there was the whole poor me segment about Bonnie and her fan… I don’t hate Bonnie but I miss the old format! I live alone and the show really helped me get through Covid! Thanks! One of the OG nobodies!

    Love this show - but CC is getting to be too much
    I have loved Paula Poundstone for most of my adult life. I have loved this podcast and the one that she had before it and much like Adam Felber I have listened to every episode. I enjoy Toni and I used to enjoy Crinkle. However, I have for a while, felt the “comedy” of Miss Burns has become grating. I truly hope that she is just playing a character and is not truly that lacking in attention to detail. I have noticed since the captain crinkle mini podcast , That I feel like my tolerance has gotten lower. It seems like it has gone to her head and she enjoys playing the victim.

    Hilarious!
    I’m driving down the freeway, pounding the steering wheel and laughing out loud at this show every week!!!

    What a fun show!
    I love this witty, silly show! It is so fun to listen to! Crinkle’s advice minisode is something great. Love it all! —Pukapuka

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    This is my go to podcast. I love the new ethics segment! I always laugh, and learn something on every episode, even the one Adam missed, he did miss one. I discovered it about the time Paula was upset about the change to her Butterfinger, Captain Crinkle earned her nickname and Toni was kind of quiet. Then I had to go back to the beginning to hear how it had transformed into what it has become now. It’s a must listen to just to see where it goes next. The crew bounce off of each other in ways that keep me in stitches. The guests are full of information on topics I didn’t even realize I wanted or needed to know about. I’d say don’t change a thing but each time something changes, it just gets better. I LOVE this podcast. We all need to find a way to connect and laugh more. 🤩 The people behind the scenes have to be great too and deserve a note of appreciation. Thanks to everyone for their hard work!!!

    Love this show
    I’ve been laughing every Tuesday ever since it first aired. Paula and the gang are perfect group of good friends who can handle each other quirks with humor!
  • RescueHobbes
    Always a good laugh!
    The camaraderie between hosts is like talking with your best friends
  • DangerPoodle
    Always a hoot
    It doesn’t matter what the topic, I always end up having actual laugh out loud moments every time I listen. The cast of characters are all brilliant individually, but combined, it’s comedy magic. This is a never-miss-it podcast for me.
  • Prescott T Widdlesworth
    Stale, Stale, Stale, Stale, Stale, Stale, Stale
    It used to be adequate but now, with Paula’s terrible heavy breathing, irritating uncontrollable laughter & Adam and her’s insatiable appetite to belittle Bonnie the podcast has gotten unfixably S.T.A.L.E.
  • Cyberacy
    Great Show A lot Of Laughs
    Paula routinely goes off the rails in the book club and I couldn’t be happier. Great show to listen to if you’re not feeling that great mentally. Will lift your mood for sure.
  • Wasn’t me!
    Nobodys Rule!
    Listening to Paula, Adam, Bonnie, and Toni is like meeting friends at the bar after they’ve already had too many beers. You start laughing at them, then find you’re laughing with them and feel happy you’re one of the gang.

    I could not stop laughing! This episode was hysterical.

    “Vic, take that out!”
    Vic, don’t ever take that out! I always travel with a 12-pack of Diet Coke in case of a water landing while flying! Great tip, Bonnie!
  • Renita from Florida!
    Thank you!
    For making us laugh in these times!!

  • Ageejesse
    Great!
    I’m a faithful Nobody. Listened to every episode. Love this podcast! It’s cheerful, playful, and clever. I look forward to it every Tuesday.

    Love everyone on this show
    I can say how much I enjoy listening to these podcasts.

    I’m a longtime nobody and love the show! I just saw Paula in St Paul, MN last Friday. It was hilarious! I got to meet her afterwards and I was so excited I forgot to tell her how much I enjoy the show. Here’s to many more years!
  • Blind nate
    I listen
    Thank you for the shout out. It’s Blind Nate :-) and I totally listen to your podcast and have for years.
  • Kwistofo
    It all makes sense now!!
    When you find out how she is actually from Everett and stole *leaded gasoline by mouth using an enema bag* across Seattle, no wonder Bonnie is so twisted.

    Best podcast
    I’m not sure how to describe this podcast BUT I can’t stop listening and laughing out loud. Fabulously chaotic and weirdly insightful. 🤩💕
  • MyQuay85
    I Came, I Listened, I Laughed So Hard I Peed a Little
    Hysterical, irreverent, informative, and inspiring, Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone is an antidote to the horrors of the present. The chemistry between Paula, Adam, Bonnie, and Toni is the perfect blend of salty and sweet, and their banter may leave you in puddles, but don’t worry, Bonnie may have helpful advice for that on the sister podcast Dear Crinkle. Treat yourself to NLTPP; you deserve it!
  • NGreenstein
    I like it!
    I love Nobody listens to Paula Poundstone. I remember seeing Paula do standup (on tv) she did the bit about her cats watching her shower. I knew she was my people! I want to read along the next book you all read. Thanks
  • eaoppenheim
    Off the rails in the best way possible
    This is probably my favorite podcast, and I subscribe to dozens. I love the informative guests and the recurring bits. I’ve been listening since episode one. I especially love the map segments and Bonnie and Toni’s Oral Report. It’s one way to brighten these dark times. And Adam is on Every Show! Also, love the fan submitted music and the house bands.
  • Kmrmom42
    5 STARS!!
    I listen to quite a few podcasts and this is one of my favorites by far. I love the humor, creativity, quality guests and camaraderie and feel like these are people I could be friends with! Give it a listen and see what you think.
  • Byrdguy
    Laughing!
    Paula and Adam are both incredibly funny- I am amazed! Bonnie and TAH are both able to mesh together with the improvisational comedy sometimes on purpose and other times they are accidentally hilarious! Thank you .

    Terrific Tuesdays
    This podcast makes Tuesdays my favorite day of the week. Paula leading this crazy cast of characters makes my week so much better. But, this isn’t all about laughs the guests each week share so much information and knowledge I feel like a well rounded scholar. Simply the best!!!
  • Micah 79
    Simply the Best
    This is one of the few things I can look forward to in this crazy world
  • RobbinsNest1985
    Love this show!
    I first discovered Paula Poundstone many years ago on “Wait! Wait! Don’t Tell Me!” So happy to have discovered this unique comedy… The episode with Kara Swisher is wonderful!! It is so nice to hear the truth told with humor and panache! Thank you, Nobodies, for helping us survive reality… You keep me grounded with your wit and empathy. Hearing your true feelings bleed through your humor is so much appreciated. Thank you!!
  • Nala S
    Came back after a while and had a blast
    I’ll be honest: I tried this show a while ago when it was more like a game show and didn’t feel super compelled to keep listening - which surprised me because I absolutely love Paula! Well, I came back to give it another shot and I got the fix that I needed. Paula is her authentic, witty, crass, spontaneous, brilliant, ironic, and profound self in full force. And her chemistry with Adam is fantastic. I love their silly banter and ridiculous tangents. Very enjoyable.
  • AMTK26
    Funny and educational
    I love this podcast. It is so funny and I always learn something new. Funny, entertaining and educational!
  • Meonline28542
    My can’t-miss favorite
    Hands down the best podcast in the internet. In addition to Paula Poundstone’s impromptu comedy, she and Adam Felber host really interesting and unique guests, and with their friends Bonnie and Toni, also host a Book Club and other crazy party games. NOT too long, despite what Bonnie thinks! Keep it coming!!
  • pencilpuberty
    If you’re cool you’ll get it. 🤓
    This is my mainstay of podcasts….Always hilarious, smart, stupid, crazy, & educational. I hope that the caller characters become a little more frequent again, but the unpredictability of the whole show (although it’s literally the same episode over and over again…😊) is what’s so great and fun to the entire experience! I’ve been totally on board for the last 7 years! ☮️❤️

    I needed a liver transplant UNTIL
    I listened to NLTPP. The mixture of Paula, Bonnie, and Toni is sheer perfection. And Adam is on every show! It’s always easy to ride on Tuesday mornings because a know a new episode will be awaiting me. It’s truly magical. I seriously look forward to Tuesdays because of this show. The chemistry between Paula, Adam, Toni, and Bonnie transcends that of any other podcast to which I listen. You will celebrate the day you made this pod a regular part of your week.

    As you requested: writing a review
    Thank you for taking my mind off reality. All the house bands are terrific, the guests are fascinating. This podcast is so many things, it shouldn’t work, but it does, it really does. Paula and Adam, love you on WWDTM. That’s how I was introduced to this podcast. The other ladies are a nice addition to the general insanity. Toni, your laugh is so contagious. I’m just smiling the whole time. Maybe a bit fewer f-bombs? Then I could listen with my kids. I really wanted to share the alligator episode with them, but too much cursing. Thank you and be well in this crazy world.

    My favorite podcast
    It feels like listening to my family. There’s the funny one, the smart one, the earnest one, and the kooky one. It also feels like elementary school, since they read books, learn vocabulary, give oral reports, and play the xylophone. And it feels like my marriage, since they bicker, complain, mislead, and deny. I look forward to it every week.
  • Zeyboo
    Adam is on every show
    This show has everything I need to get through reality. Information, absurdity, and laughter. Love the whole crew.

    I have listened to this podcast almost from its inception. In this whirlwind world in which we live, it is so refreshing to take an hour off to laugh and play while listening to Paula, Adam, Bonnie and Toni. Paula’s guests are always informative and a great addition to this fun-filled and always funny podcast.

    When Paula interviewes policy and iner circles members it’s a very interesting and informative podcast. It’s a needed podcast in these misinformation age. And it makes me cry with laughter too! Keep up the need work Paula to infor and give knowledge to your listeners. Also my cat snorting Norton needs to be your cat of the week. He’s sooooo freaking cute!
  • Dabeez
    Consistently Funny
    I listen to podcasts while I walk, and there have been numerous occasions that I’ve noticed a concerned look on the faces of the people I pass. Then I realize that I’ve been laughing out loud like an asylum escapee while listening to NLTPP. Paula and Adam are two of the sharpest wits I’ve ever heard, Toni has one of the greatest laughs, and Bonnie makes Coach from Cheers seem like a rocket scientist by comparison. There hasn’t been a guest or topic that they didn’t find a way to make entertaining. The show sometimes stretches over 1.5 hours, but it feels like it goes by in the blink of an eye. I’ve recommended this show to everyone I know of that listens to podcasts. I know the show is expensive to make (sorry Glassbox), but I hope it continues forever. Thanks Paula and team!

    Fun from start to finish. No matter how long it is I'm always disappointed when it's over!

    Most relaxing listen ever
    I have never loved a podcast more! It’s so relaxing and like hanging out with good friends. Love them!

    Love the show, hate the glockenspiel
    This show is one of few that actually makes me lol irl. It’s funny, interesting, entertaining, all the things one could want from a comedy podcast. But the glockenspiel. Oh, the glockenspiel. On one hand they seem to want to grow their listenership. On the other, there is the seemingly universal hatred of the glockenspiel to which we are told to like it or leave. Perhaps this accounts for the reduced audience in Moldova?

    Love it!!!
    Love the podcast!! Funny and wonderful
  • Superhero Robot
    It’s not a happy accident, it’s a happy disaster
    It’s one of my favorite hour of the week as I listen to these people attempt to make a podcast. If they were able to succeed it would be a mediocre podcast, so fortunately they always fail. It’s Gilligan's Island if they had to make a podcast to get off the island every episode.
  • Toonces2004
    Best podcast ever
    Paula and the gang are so funny- I’m always laughing out loud in my car. Guests are so interesting and informative. I look forward to this podcast every week.
