Monday Morning Podcast



The Monday Morning Podcast is hosted by stand-up comedian Bill Burr and it is one of the most popular podcasts on iTunes. The podcast is very unique to most other popular comedy podcasts because Bill Burr, for the most part, just sits in a room by himself and rambles about life on the road, sports and he answers questions from his listeners.

Comedian Dave Attell and Bill Burr
This podcast is one of the funniest in the world. Bill Burr is a fast-talking Boston comedian and even the way he talks is funny. There is a lot of profanity and vulgar comedy on this podcast, but that’s part of the charm. This podcast is an unfiltered look into the mind of Bill Burr. He is a master story teller and his stream of consciousness is second to none. This podcast is a mix of common sense and life wisdom with a great deal of ignorance.

When Burr’s listeners e-mail him questions, he always makes sure to tell them to not take his advice because he is not qualified; people still e-mail him serious questions about relationships, careers and other serious questions about life. He responds to the questions brilliantly with great advice and breaking down the scenarios and evaluates the consequences of the possible choices.

Everything in this podcast is funny, even his commercials. He does live reads during his show, but he makes fun of his own reading skills. He has even lost sponsors because he makes fun of the company if they give him a script he finds senseless.



Bill Burr is one of the best comedic minds in stand-up today. Between his unique views on the world and his advice, this show makes people look forward to Mondays. This podcast is pound-for-pound the best podcast because it is literally one man talking into a microphone creating comedic gold.

Some of the more notable guests on The Joe Rogan Experience have been astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, MMA fighter Ronda Rousey, rapper Immortal Technique and journalist Abby Martin.

Joe Rogan’s fan base has increased significantly since beginning his podcast in December of 2009. Fans of this podcast have credited Rogan for changing the way they think and view the world, as well as providing hours of laughs. Rogan’s conversations with his guest are unlike any on television because they get into deep conversations that are interesting like the time Rogan talked to Neil deGrasse Tyson about the possibility of the moon landing being a hoax. Other interesting episodes are when he has a journalist or political activist on to talk about the news, politics and the state of media.


The Joe Rogan Experience is a great podcast and is great to listen to on long car rides, while working out or on trips. This podcast is one of the most popular in the world and has won several podcasting awards including the Stitcher Award for best overall podcast of 2013.
