Top 25 Stand up’s
No Marc Maron. You don’t even mention him. You went for quantity over quality on some of these guys. Maron is easily one of greatest comedians ever. The reason I say this is because when I see like “From Bleak to Dark “ and his other stuff I literally laugh until I get tears in my eyes. You totally missed the boat!

Very good podcast for fans of comedy
This is a great podcast for fans of comedy. This guy is a very good talk show host. I don’t always agree with his opinions on comedy but I find them well thought out and I like how he presents his reasons. As an aside, he’s one of these interesting guys who I think have a very good sense of humor but aren’t themselves naturally funny. I think Howard stern has this too- he’s not naturally funny in the sense that he can’t create it out of thin air but he knows what is funny, which is why guys like benjy were so great for him.

Curb part 2
Mike and Kirk are having a competition of who can work less. Would love to hear part 2 of Curb

Now we’re censoring podcast
This is insanity. You censoring legendary comics best jokes in the intro, intro of a podcast which is tagged as explicit. This insanity of destroying art and history because of “bad words” must stop. You are the last person I would expect this from it’s very disheartening.

Funny and Insightful
If you are a fan of standup comedy, this is a must-listen. These guys have been fans for most of their lives and are well informed on their topics.

A+ podcast for comedy
If you’re into comedy and all the behind the scenes this show is for you! They play old clips and delve deep into the inner workings of whatever topic they’re on for the day! Give it a listen!

All…right
The thing I love about Mike, Craig, and their guests is that often times, they’re as funny as their subjects.
G.P.$
Great Insight
This is a guy who loves his subject, and who clearly spends a lot of time immersed in it. Pick any that interest you, and you will eventually find that you are listening to them all. Sorry that you also have to listen to Craig, but I'm not dinging Mike for that.

A-Plus
You can tell Mike is a true fan of comedy. The show is educational, entertaining, and an easy listen.

I’m not laughing
There’s way too much commentary during this show. Maybe I think it’s too much because it isn’t funny or insightful. I couldn’t get through one episode of their unnecessary babbling. I had to skip forward every time they stopped one of the comedy routines for their commentary. That’s not an ideal way to listen to a podcast.

Really good
Blind Mike is on a heater! The past couple episodes are stuff I’d never look into but found very interesting

Howard Stern Rules! This podcast? Meh.
Obvious Howard Hater who wasn’t even alive during most of Stern’s most popularity.

Gotta Love Weird Al
I’m amazed that these guys were unaware of Weird Al and especially his original songs. Go listen to Hardware Store, Your Horoscope, to name a couple. They’re fantastic. I’m not a fan of Al’s rap parodies just cause I am not a fan of rap but even those are excellent parodies. When I listen to the original recordings of say, Beat it or American Pie, I find myself singing the Weird Al lyrics instead! lol.

Yay another distraction from graveyard shift
I found Mike through WATS. I really enjoy this show
ShamBam12345
Why are you bashing Sinbad ...
Your "Thoughts and prayers go out"...? You've spent almost an entire show tearing him down. Your hatred toward him is clearly great! Wow ...

Mike makes the world go round
Why am I laughing? Easy, Blind Mike is a connoisseur of comedy. Done

A lesson in persistence
Blind Mike started as an intern at Barstool, found his way on to the Kirk Minihane show years later, and now he has a very good, successful podcast here. This guy is persistent and puts on a great show. Mike and Craig have a good thing going.

The Carlin episode
You guys might think he is a top guy and I get it but it’s one of the first episodes I had to finish in one listen and I wanted more. When Craig said this is the last clip, I was disappointed. Please do his other album Great job guys!

ARC of Boston Endorses This Show
Blind Mike really has a pulse on the history of comedy. I very much enjoy this show and the way he weaves in clips, analysis and commentary on the comedy specials, shows, and comedians. It is apparent Blind Mike is a PHd student in the study of comedy. I also very much enjoy him on the Kirk Minihane show. He’s witty and brings a great sense of comedic timing and advancing jokes on that show.
The thing Blind Mike might not get enough credit for is his support for the intellectually disabled community. He’s not one to pat himself on the back. I work at the ARC of Boston in the employment assistance program. During my monthly check-ins with Craig, he has nothing but positive feedback on his experience working with Mike. Mike treats him with tremendous respect and has let him gain valuable experience with this media opportunity. Mike should really be commended for his selflessness. There aren’t many in the media field who would sacrifice the quality of their show out of pure dedication to our community. Kudos Mike! You are a great person and I love the pod.

Great producer
Craig is a huge comedic juggernaut I’ve heard he is the real brains for this Podcast…

Eh
I listened to the three stooges episode and as a stooge fan I found it kinda poorly researched… not sure if that’s indicative of the other episodes, just my opinion
ned12346
Excellent
Blind Mike is a likable fella who does a great job delving into the history of comedy. Although Mike is featured in several podcasts, this is his best one in my opinion. But if you like to see Mike interact with a club footed idiot with terrible teeth from Rochester than also check out Who Are These Socials.

Why am I laughing lol
Love the comedy break down, I haven’t stopped laughing since finding the show last year! Keep up the great work!
MrProGhostly
EXEMPLARY
This show isn’t cheap laughs from hacks with no personality. Rather it’s a piece by piece look at the structure , attitudes & impact of various performers. These guys throw the ball around and leave room for the organic nature of stage performance as well as deep dives into comedic writers , actors and cultural phenoms. Respect is given to the guys who never get nominated by Hollywood , but who remain in our hearts forever. Great show boys.

Mike’s voice is very relaxing

Mike is awesome but….
I can’t do this show or project because of Craig. There’s just something about his voice and laugh that makes it unlistenable.
KellyClarksonisbeautiful
Love it
Found you thought WATP. Listened to a few of the newer episode and now I’m starting from the beginning! Great show keep it up. This is the one show I don’t have to lie to my co-workers about what I’m listening to.

STOP INTERUPTING CLIPS ONCE YOU START
Mike. I promise you, not once in the history of this show has whatever you stopped a clip to say been important enough to do so. Add it after.
Urboycabrera
Fantastic show.
It’s truly a great show! It’s fun to learn about the history of comedy. And Craiggers is interesting too!

Great Pod - original Idea
Great podcast with a niche idea. Entertaining and interesting

One of the best out there
I'm a gen Z kid so I know nothing about some of these old comedians and entertainers. This podcast genuinely helped me get to know comedians and their histories. Incredibly informative. Thanks!

Great Pod
Easily one of my favorite listens weekly, I just imagine how much better it could be if Craig wasn’t on it.

Audio
The audio in the Charlie Chaplin episode couldn’t have been worse. The audio would fade in and out every other second. The pod is great though. Craig always sounds really dumb.
