Clown Parade, the new podcast from LasCulturistas hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, offers emerging comedians a friendly sandbox to play in. nwquah writes
Photo-Illustration: Vulture On a recent phone call, I was kicking around a question for the pure academic hell of it. At the other end was Hans Sahni, who heads up content for Big Money Players, the podcast network governed by Will Ferrell.
Each miniseries typically takes the form of a four-part arc, and this debut season will feature ten comedians by the end of its run. Aside from Urbano and Titelman, the others are: Rekha Shankar, Chris Burns, Desi Domo, Raphael Chestang, Milly Tamarez, Sarah Smallwood Parsons, Steve Han, and Sudi Green.
“There” includes a fairly involved development process. About half of this first batch’s comedians came in with preexisting characters; the other half were conceived specifically for the podcast. A team at Big Money Players works with the comedians to flesh out the character, work out the scripts, and produce the actual four-parter.
Could Big Money Players be the one to fill the vacuum? The network currently houses around ten shows, including Las Culturistas and perennial fan favorite Poog with Kate Berlant and Jacqueline Novak, and this week, the network officially brought Vulture favorite StraightioLab into the fold. Sahni tells me that they expected to add a few more shows by the end of the year, and that there are another ten or so projects in some form of development.
Meanwhile … ➽ After an extensive period of quiet and nothing, buttressed by much speculation, Spotify’s partnership with Archewell Audio has finally borne its first fruit. Archetypes With Meghan Markle dropped its first episode yesterday, with the newly retiring Serena Williams as debut guest. ➽ Consider this a second plug for Shameless Acquisition Target. What Laura Mayer is doing with this incredibly offbeat personal project is well worth keeping your ear on. She’s working to be astonishingly honest about the sheer amount of bullshit floating around the podcast business these days , and doing so with a highly specific and thoroughly unique voice.
