The Tobolowsky Files, an amazing podcast

[spooky]

Stephen Tobolowsky has a podcast, and it's so absurdly splendid, it demands it's own thread. It's like the early days of KATG, but he doesn't really do a sidekick, it's all just him, and he has the gravitas to carry the show entirely on his own shoulders.



The Tobolowsky Files is this strange storytelling journey through the life and times of actor Stephen Tobolowsky, as told by himself, in complete honesty and candor. And his life is epic. Crazy stories about working in Hollywood, on the sets of films(yeah, he's Ned Ryerson from Groundhog Day!), bizarre surprise trips on LSD, childhood, first loves, death, it's anything and everything, and I'm only through the first ten or so episodes.

I've been on the KATG boat since pretty much the beginning, and if you are reading this, you are too. That means my taste in podcasts should be impeccable to you, and I'm telling you right now this is the current best podcast there is. Yes, it's that good.

Minus the Stanhope episode of KATG, I place it at the top, above Marc Maron, above The Moth, This American Life, Fresh Air, Smodcast, How Stuff Works. There is nothing better out there.

I'm listening to the show at about ten episodes a day while I work, and it's like when I first started listening to KATG back in 2005, and I had 50 or so back episodes to hear. Riveting, and I dread catching up and having to deal with TTF withdrawal while I wait for fresh episodes. It's about a once a week show, add it to your list, you won't regret it.
