Matt Gourley
Matt Gourley does some podcasts. I’ll say he does. For starters, he’s a creator of the Superego podcast, the James Bonding podcast, the Pistol Shrimps Radio podcast, and the I Was There Too podcast. There are more but let’s stop talking about podcasts. He’s also been seen or heard on Community, Adventure Time, Comedy Bang! Bang!, Another Period, and has been featured on Comedy Central’s Drunk History, slurring his way through thoughtful retellings of Watergate, the Alamo, and the life of Wernher von Braun. He’s also the current spokesperson for Volkswagen. By day, Matt is a professor who teaches acting and improv at a couple of local colleges where he will most likely give you an easy A.

I Was There Too
If you're like Matt Gourley (Superego, Drunk History, James Bonding), then you know all the classic movie and television scenes so well it's like you were in the room when they happened. Well, you weren't. And neither was he. But the people Matt interviews were! Listen in as they tell the inside stories of how cinema and television history was made from a fly-on-the-wall perspective you've never heard.
Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Project
Earwolf producer Matt Gourley (Superego) and Andy Daly (the upcoming Comedy Central series Review) have spent months sifting through podcast pilots to curate this collection of noteworthy efforts. Together they'll bring you podcast pilots submitted by a beloved cowboy poet, a theatrical director who specializes in girls, a satanist game show host, a water skiing legend and many more. All of these would-be podcasters have, oddly enough, taken advantage of the open door policy on Comedy Bang Bang, but there is so much more to discover about each and every one of them...Looking for the archives? All episodes older than 6 months can be found exclusively on Stitcher Premium, ad-free. Go to stitcher.com/premium and use promo code EARWOLF for 1 month free (and $5 off the annual plan!)
