Two women, no boundaries and no rules: best podcasts of the week

Comedian Companionship: Ignoring That Feeling Takes Center Stage

In a laugh-out-loud podcast that defies traditional conversation, Alison Spittle and Fern Brady embark on a wildly entertaining journey of topics, often sidetracking from their intended subject matter. From dissecting Lily Allen's "breakup album for narcissists" to the mystifying length of pig orgasms, these two comedic minds leave no stone unturned. The result is a joyous romp through irreverent discussions that will keep you hooked.

In stark contrast, The Economist's Andrew Bartleby tackles a more pressing and unsettling topic: the future of employment in an AI-driven world. With a dash of humor, he delves into whether artificial intelligence will eventually replace humans by creating replicas of his own work and asking colleagues to discern between human-written columns and those penned by AI programs. A refreshing take on an unnerving subject.

I think its kinda wild how everyone's so quick to dismiss MF Doom's ban from the US like its his fault 🤔. The dude was just trying to keep it real with his underground vibes and now we're learning more about that. I'm all for exploring the complexities of his life, but let's not forget he's still a genius 💪.
 
Ugh, another podcast that's all about being a weirdo 🤪... I mean, what's up with having a laugh-out-loud podcast where you talk about everything except the main topic? Can't we just get straight to it for once? 😒 And don't even get me started on The Economist - I mean, how many articles can one person write about AI taking over the world? It feels like they're just regurgitating the same stuff over and over 🙄. On the other hand, MF Doom's documentary is kinda fascinating... but can we please not romanticize the whole "mysterious rapper" vibe? It's just a bit too much 🤷‍♂️. And what's with all these feel-good podcasts about cancer and youth violence? Can't they just talk about something else for once? 😐
 
I don’t usually comment but... I think it’s kinda cool that The Economist is tackling some heavy topics like AI and employment with a dash of humor 🤣. It shows they're not afraid to poke fun at themselves and make complex issues more relatable. And the MF Doom documentary sounds like a wild ride – who knew his US ban was such an interesting part of his story? 💡 The cancer podcast tributes, though... that's just heartbreaking 😔
 
I just saw this thread about podcasts and I'm still catching up 😂. I think it's great that there are comedians like Alison Spittle and Fern Brady who aren't afraid to be silly and make fun of themselves and the world around us 🤣. But what really caught my attention is Andrew Bartleby's take on AI taking over jobs - have you ever thought about how weird it would be if machines started writing for The Economist? 🤖 I mean, can you imagine an AI program trying to understand the nuances of human humor and making a joke that's actually funny? 🎉
 
I feel like we've lost some of that authentic, goofy vibe from old-school comedy podcasts. Nowadays everyone's so busy trying to be edgy or sophisticated 🤔. Remember when we used to have comedians just riffing on weird topics without a care in the world? Like Alison Spittle and Fern Brady on their podcast - they're not taking themselves seriously at all, and it's bloody brilliant 😂.

And can you believe how serious everyone is about AI replacing humans now? 🤖 It's like we've forgotten that humor's the best way to deal with stress. MF Doom's story is cool and all, but come on... let's not forget to laugh while we're trying to learn about our past 🤣.

As for The Economist's Andrew Bartleby, I love how he still managed to inject some humor into a pretty dark subject. And those interviews about protecting at-risk youth are so important - it's like we've finally started taking ourselves seriously enough to care 😊.
 
OMG u gotta listen 2 this podcast "The Economist's Andrew Bartleby" he's got some wild thoughts about AI replace humans idk if its a utopia or dystopia 🤖💻 but honestly, I love how he tries to find humor in a really serious topic! and also that MF Doom docu is fire 🔥🎵 I feel bad 4 him having to deal w/ all that drama from his ban 🤷‍♀️
 
AI is gonna make so many jobs obsolete but have you thought about the creators? Like who's gonna pay their rent when the robots take over the world 🤖🏠 I mean, we gotta think about the people behind the tech, ya know? Can't just leave them high and dry 🤔
 
I'm loving the different vibes in these articles 🤩. The comedian podcast sounds like a super fun listen 😂, but I gotta say, Andrew Bartleby's take on AI replacing humans is a bit unsettling... what if it happens? 🤖 Can we trust our tech to have our backs? 🤔
 
i'm so down for the comedian companionship podcast - those 2 are hilarious and their conversations are always like, whoa where did we go? on a more serious note tho, have u seen that mf doom docu? it's wild how his life went from being super underground to becoming kinda legendary 🤯
 
omg i'm literally so inspired by Alison Spittle & Fern Brady's podcast they're literally making me laugh out loud while tackling serious topics like AI & employment it's like they're showing us that even in dark times we can find the humor & lightness to carry on 🤣🌟
 
I'm loving the idea of a podcast where comedians just go with whatever comes up in conversation - it's like having a super funny conversation with friends who always keep you on your toes 🤣. On the other hand, I think it's really cool that The Economist is tackling some heavy topics with humor, like AI and employment. Sometimes we need to poke fun at ourselves to make sense of these complex issues 😊. As for MF Doom's documentary, I'm intrigued - his life story sounds super fascinating! And I love that You, Me and the Big C is paying tribute to its co-founder in such a beautiful way 💔. Lastly, Safe is really important - we need more conversations like this to raise awareness about protecting at-risk youth 🌟
