Artism Speaks: I only discovered this podcast last Spring, and it had just started a few weeks prior to then. It's tough to find words for it, as there's no real theme to it. It's just a bunch of people in an online community (mostly within Youtube's art and gaming sphere) talking to each other. It's hosted by Sparky, and co-hosted by literally anyone else. The roster of who is on changes each episode, with a few people coming back every once in a while, such as Raycevick, who makes video essays on video games, or ShammyTV, who makes extremely sarcastic game reviews.
Back Issues: While it does have a video element to it, 99% of the time the video is just 3 people on a couch. I mainly just listen to it, my eyes focused elsewhere. In this podcast series, Sal summarizes and discusses comic book stories with his two friends, Ben and Ethan who know little to nothing about comics. The stories they discuss are both old, new, good, and downright awful. Occasionally one or two members on the couch will be swapped out (Sal's parents have replaced Ben and Ethan before). It's a series I've listened to since freshman year, and haven't dropped from it since.
Weekly Planet: James (Mr. SundayMovies) and Nick (Masso) discuss weekly news in the pop culture industry, mostly relating to comicbooks, films, or TV shows. Their two personalities never cease to get a laugh out of the listener, with great commentary and longstanding, definitely-should-have-died-many-weeks-ago-but-still-hasn't-so-they-keep-doing-it jokes. A prime example of this is Masso's character of "Man who doesn't know what Star Wars is because he's been living under a rock for the past few years, and every time he is told about what Star Wars is he immediately forgets about it."
What carries all of these for me is the personalities of each person. They never cease to entertain. I don't notice editing too much outside of an intro theme that's barely 10 seconds long.
