Uncle Bertie's Botanarium

[Kyle]

I know not everyone can afford Howl.fm. But I'm here to tell you, that if you can-- it's so great. I paid $35 for a full year, but I think they have a monthly too, if that suits you.

But seriously, Jermaine Clement (from Flight of the Conchords and What We Do in the Shadows) is the lead in The Mysterious Secrets of Uncle Bertie's Botanarium. It's a radio play about a botanist in the 1700s who takes a journey across the boiling seas to find the Heaven's Clover, which is the source of all joy, so he can destroy it. It's very Python-esque and I freaking love it.

There's just so much thrashing. "Who else wants a thrashing?!?" "Well, I suppose I could use one." THRASH THRASH!

Thanks Kyle. I listened to a few minutes of it when it first came out, but didn't catch me at the time. Will try again when I resubscribe sometime soon.

I've subscribed to Howl in total about 2 months since they started. The app was indeed awful, but the website was pretty good, and the content was great.

I like anything with Jon Gabrus, so enjoyed what I heard from "The Layman" but I can get "High and Mighty" for free. "Besser vs. the Audience" I hoped to enjoy but doesn't match Besser's great "Improv4Humans" podcast, again for free.

I liked "I Know it Sounds Crazy", wish they did a season two.

I spent most of my time listening to the live Comedy Bang Bang and classic Never Not Funny episodes.

I own this album but it's on Howl, you should listen to the masterpiece album that is "Nine Sweaters" by Andy Daly.
