Awesome Podcast Alert: Five Tacos and a Taco
Podcasts December 8th. 2009, 10:13pmWell, I’ve gone and made myself podcast-famous again. I sent in an overheard from work this week that made it onto episode 91 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. This is the second time I’ve gotten content on their show. I was listening to it while I was spending time with my daughter, and when they read my overheard I started laughing very hard. I made the cut for a written overhead! YES!
While I highly recommend Stop Podcasting Yourself itself, there is another podcast I discovered through their forums. Five Tacos and a Taco is another “Two dudes talk about funny stuff” podcast. These particular guys are Americans that live in Dallas, Texas. They have a pretty good show that I’ve started listening to only recently, and there was plenty to enjoy.
Since I like shows with a themed structure to them, it’s no surprise that this show also follows a general routine in each episode. They have a topic for each show that takes the form of a five point list that is created by each of the hosts. For example, the first episode I listened to they talked about their Top 5 “Childhood Misconceptions”. (Where do babies come from? Watermelons grow in your belly if you eat a seed…etc.)
They used these lists as segues to each new idea when one of their conversations started to meander. They’d get off topic a lot, but due to their lists they had a means to keep the show tied together. I appreciated that. They also read and discussed some humorous news stories, answered email, and created a fictitious society to answer people’s questions based on stereotypes, all in one episode! I can’t claim every episode will be as good, but I’ve been giving them a listen and I like what I hear.
I already listen to a lot of other podcasts of a similar ilk, but this one has got a lot of archives for me to listen to during my time off.
