stand-up comedy podcast?

[nearlythere]

I've been trawling different podcast directories looking under 'comedy' for examples of stand-up. I can't find any...

Does anyone know of a pod-cast of stand-up comedy?

These are some of the places I searched- directories listing 'comedy', in case this is handy for anyone else:

closest i got was a former stand-up comedian mentioned here:

No, I don't know of any either. You'll probably have to keep an eye for any and if I see any links offering comedy I'll post it.

well, the obvious thing i overlooked is to simply search for downloable comedy mp3s (http://nearlythere.com/notes/gadgetry/getting_comedy_mp3s.php)

streaming ones don't help, since you'd have to record them while they play, and i'm lazy.

so the next best thing is to find comedian's websites, and get links to their MP3s.


a-ha! there is, http://www.mfeeds.com/ which scrapes pages with links to media files. "This lets you receive a podcast from any page that has MP3s on it", oo goodie. And it generates a handy URL:

http://mfeeds.com/generate/scrape.cgi?url=http://www.desbishop.com/audio/images/

the XML file generated looks ok. but i'm getting errors, so far, no joy. in iPodder, 'exception class error' and in iPodderX it downloads nothing (with no error messages either). not sure what is going on.

i'll have to try this with other sites.
