The Jordan, Jesse, Go! podcast, one of the most enduring comedy podcasts around, will be finishing off their Summer Boys of Summer Tour with a jam packed evening. The hosts of the Doughboys podcast, Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger and Allie Goertz from Everything Is Coming Up Simpsons will be guests and there will be a mini version of the Story Break podcast right at the top of the show.

You’ll get to enjoy this very stacked evening all at the Arts District’s hip Angel City Brewery too.

You can get all of this for the nice price of $20. Do so before it sells out here.

His honor Judge John Hodgman will presiding once again within LA county for another live episode of his eponymous MaxFun podcast, this time at The Regent Theater in DTLA on Thurs. Jun. 6th at 8PM.

For the uninitiated, celebrated humorist John Hodgman will cast a decision on disputes such as:

-when is it may someone else’s Chinese food be legally considered abandoned property?
-is a machine gun a robot?

It’s a pretty damn great time (even if you’re a plaintiff or defendant).

This tends to sell out (as it should), so go get your tickets here for $30 quick.

For well over 300 episodes, Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy have had a damn good time dishing out unqualified advice on their own terms to their listeners on the My Brother, My Brother and Me podcast over at Maximum Fun.
