The Dollop with Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds All Things Comedy

The Dollop is such a great and unique show. I recommend it all the time. Everyone loves it

Past Times is great but please - when you ask Garfie and the guest to guess, read the title of the first article. It’ll add a lot of fun

I listened off and on for years but I can’t even get through an episode without completely losing interest these days. It feels like this went from being an American history podcast with comedy, to a comedy podcast with a story. Old episodes had amazing historically poignant stories full of twists, details, and thought provoking perceptions caused by looking at things from a modern lens. But now I rarely find the topics interesting, the comedy is almost entirely made up of inside jokes or a weird, forced tension between the hosts. Plus the production quality has taken a dive from bad balancing to tinny reverb, and each episode is told with such monotone that it’s hard to skip back if I missed something due to that lack of auditory cues. On top of all that the hosts sound like their being held hostage. Dave sounds like he hates being there, hates Gareth, hates the audience, and hates the podcast, while Gareth sounds like he’s jonesing for a cigarette and will get one if he can just make Dave laugh. I really wish they’d return to a format of storyteller and funny guy, instead of both of them battling for comedic supremacy. Or at least let Gareth in on the story so that the riffs can at least relate back to the topic better.

This is in the top 5 of my favorite episodes from you guys 🤣🤣.
