Looking for the best comedy podcasts? Earwolf Presents showcases our talented hosts and our favorite episodes from the Earwolf universe! Let us surprise you!

 

Here is: The Sporkful! We obsess about food to learn more about people. The Sporkful isn’t for foodies, it’s for eaters. Hosted by Dan Pashman, who’s also the inventor of the new pasta shape cascatelli. James Beard and Webby Award winner for Best Food Podcast.

 

This episode of the Sporkful is called Michael Ian Black Is A Guy Who Eats Salads and you guessed it, features comedian and actor Michael Ian Black. Why does eating alligator seem more manly than eating chicken? Is coffee more “masculine” than tea? This week, comedian Michael Ian Black talks with Dan about manliness, and how it relates to food — a conversation they have as Michael decides to order salad at a pizzeria. “Are we really still going through this dumb, ritualistic flexing of our masculinity over the fact that I just want some greens?” Michael asks. “It’s so representative of something so destructive.” Michael also shares some controversial pretzel opinions, and Michael and Dan bond over dad life in the suburbs.

Happy Spring, all! Let’s take a look back on a classic cringey Michael ep. After a disastrous dinner party, Michael is single and finds himself falling in love with a chair model from an office supply catalog. Meanwhile Kevin and Andy fight to get their parking spaces back from a construction project by confronting the Five Families. We hear from Paul Faust who actually played himself as one of the heads of the Five Families. Jenna spots a sparkling Michael accessory, Creed Bratton gives theories on why the character Creed was trying to score three office chairs, and Angela reveals something pretty special about the chair she’s been using to record Office Ladies. You totally should listen to this episode, no shortn’t about it.
