Superego, One of The Funniest Podcasts Around, Will Return for 6 Episodes

Together, Matt Gourley, Jeremy Carter, Mark McConville, and Paul F. Tompkins form Superego, one of our all time favorite podcasts. It’s as ridiculous as it is brilliant and Superego one-up each other in how absurd they can be in absurdist situations, but doing so with precision.

Seriously, go binge listen to and enjoy past episodes here.

According to this announcement, there will be six new episodes, 4 done in studio and 2 done live, later this year thanks to Earwolf and Stitcher Premium.

Even though the date isn’t announced, it should be something to mark somewhere on your calendar because we think it’s that noteworthy.

Scott Aukerman, Paul F. Tompkins, and Lauren Lapkus Have United to Form the “Threedom” Podcast

lauren lapkus, paul f tompkins, podcast, scott aukerman, threedom

Whether it be their own podcast or guesting on dozens upon dozens of others, Scott Aukerman, Paul F. Tompkins, and Lauren Lapkus are some of the most beloved figures in podcasting and have been for quite some time.

It only makes sense, especially because they improvise so well together too, that they come together as a sort of comedy podcast supergroup. Thus, their new show Threedom, available exclusively on Stitcher Premium, has arrived.

On Threedom, they flow in and out of free flowing stories and conversations into improvised scenes, giving them an endless canvas to do as they please. The trio speak more on that and podcasting in general in this Wrap interview.

They’re only on their second episode so far, but you can get a free month of Stitcher Premium to listen to Threedom and several other premium audio comedy content with the promo code: THREEDOM.

Before You Wave Christmas Goodbye, Paul F. Tompkins Has a Great New Holiday Carol “Please Don’t Joke About ‘I, Robot’ This Christmas”

December 26, 2016

christmas, eban schletter, holiday songs, i robot, paul f tompkins, please don't joke, scott aukerman

If you honestly look at a lot of the lyrics of Christmas songs, they too often are vague, steeped to deep in symbolic imagery, or throw around various positive platitudes all while wrapped up in a catchy melody.

This is not the case with the new country-leaning holiday song from Paul F. Tompkins, “Please Don’t Joke About ‘I Robot’ This Christmas”.

It’s very specific and very personal (and a tad bit silly sure).

It should be your new favorite holiday song as the 2016 holiday season comes to a close and something to enjoy at the end of 2017.

Paul F. Tompkins Made This Interview Uncomfortable Like No One Else Can

October 15, 2016

bajillion dollar propertie$, interview, jon bander, paul f tompkins, seeso

Seeso has been forcing one Jon Bander to do uncomfortable interviews that are made uncomfortable at the discretion of all the Seeso stars that Bander is interviewing.

In the case of Paul F. Tompkins, star of Bajillion Dollar Propertie$, he took an approach that no one else has with Bander and reached, we’re pretty sure, a new level of tension in an interview that no one else has before.

Paul F. Tompkins Talks VP Debate and Plays Editor-in-Chief of the One “Newspaper” Endorsing Trump on Colbert

October 5, 2016

late show, mike pence, paul f tompkins, stephen colbert, tim kaine, trump, vp debate

Though Paul F. Tompkins regularly guests on @midnight and stars in Bajillion Dollar Propertie$ on Seeso, Paul deserves far more screen time.

Last night, that desired additional screen time came in the form of an interview with Stephen Colbert and a fun bit where Paul plays the guy who heads up the one newspaper in the entire country that endorses Trump.

We can only hope that the press tour for Bajillion Dollar Propertie$ leads to more of this.
