Podcasts about Joe Pera Talks with You

This week on Transmissions, a return guest, the great comedian, writer, actor, and podcaster Joe Pera. Joe first appeared here on Transmissions in 2020 alongside his friend and collaborator James Wallace aka Skyway Man, and we've wanted to have him back ever since. This talk is a blast, covering everything from the beauty of Phoenix's Sky Harbor airport to representations of Catholicism in science fiction to Joe's experience seeing the late Mitch Hedberg live. Pera's TV show, Joe Pera Talks With You, ran for three seasons on Adult Swim between 2018-2021. Quiet and restrained but deeply funny, the show's gentle slice of life stories and meditative pace made it an utterly unique project. Joe's latest work includes the 2023 stand up special Slow and Steady and Drifting Off With Joe Pera, a podcast designed specifically to help lull listeners to sleep. In addition to standard episodes covering topics like pre-bedtime drinks, wind, New York City ghosts, and soup, there are extended 8-hour versions of episodes as well, allowing for maximum slumbertime engagement. Close your eyes and settle in: here's an episode of Transmissions you might be able to doze off to.  You can read a full transcript of this conversation at Aquarium Drunkard, where you'll find 20 years worth of playlists, recommendations, reviews, interviews, podcasts, essays, and more.

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got a rare trio episode for you, since two of our guests created something very cool together: Jo Firestone, Marissa Paternoster, and Joe Steinhardt. I'll start with Jo Firestone, the actor, writer, comedian, podcaster, game inventor, and probably some other stuff that I'm forgetting, who you may have seen on the show Joe Pera Talks With You or, like a million other things. She's done stand-up specials and albums, she's written for The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, and she hosts the game-centric podcast Dr. Gameshow. Firestone is currently the head writer on After Midnight, the comedy/game show hybrid that airs late every night on CBS. In other words, she's busy. But not too busy to chat with her friends Marissa Paternoster and Joe Steinhardt about their new graphic novel, Merriment. You may recognize Paternoster are the singer and guitarist for the amazing, recently broken up band Screaming Females, and Talkhouse readers and listeners may even recognize her illustrations, which have appeared on the site over the years. Paternoster continues to make music, but the focus of this chat is Merriment, her first graphic novel. Paternoster put her eerie, singular images to a story by her old friend Joe Steinhardt, head of the long-running independent label Don Giovanni Records, which has been home to a number of incredible bands over the past two decades, including Screaming Females. These three have a fun, loose chat about Merriment, which in case I didn't say it yet, you should definitely check out, as well as Steinhardt's not-so-secret desires to be a comedian, Paternoster's can't-fail movie idea, how Firestone was once tasked with selling St. Louis pizza with a New York attitude, and a game I'd never heard of called “Somebody Pooped in the Salad.” Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Jo Firestone, Marissa Paternoster, and Joe Steinhardt for chatting.

Jo Firestone's comedy special Good Timing is the culmination of months of work from her and a group of senior citizens who wanted to learn stand-up comedy. Jo joins us to talk about the special, and what she learned from her students. She also talks about researching her role as a doomsday prepper on one of our favorite TV shows: Joe Pera Talks With You. A version of this interview originally aired in October of 2021.

Is Joe Pera for real? That's the inevitable question you start asking yourself after seeing him perform soft-spoken stand-up jokes, listening to his deliberately sleep-inducing podcast or watching his exquisitely serene Adult Swim series ‘Joe Pera Talks With You.' In this episode, Pera goes deep on how he developed his very unique comedy style and responds directly to those who think his entire comic persona might be some sort of elaborate ruse. He also reflects on the end of his beloved and deeply personal show, reveals how Taylor Swift helped inspire his upcoming stand-up tour and tells the full story behind securing the rights to The Who's “Baba O'Riley.” Get tickets for The Peras Tour at joepera.comFollow Joe Pera on Twitter @JosephPera and Instagram @joeperaFollow Matt Wilstein on Threads @mattwilsteinFollow The Last Laugh on Instagram @lastlaughpod and Threads @lastlaughpodHighlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast Hosted on Acast.

There's a cultural shift in how we are telling stories, and it's a relatively new phenomenon. It's something different from postmodernism but still incorporates elements from modernism and postmodernism.  Philosophers are just barely beginning to grasp what is happening; some call it metamodernism. In today's episode, we'll explore the shift from modernism to postmodernism and into metamodernism through the genre of the American sitcom so that you can notice the distinct flavors of each that take place across genres of storytelling and the arts.  From The Cosby Show and Home Improvement to Seinfeld and into Joe Pera Talks With You,  how is metamodern comedy shifting towards offering people a sense of sacredness and transcendence in their seemingly meaningless mundane lives?

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a comedian and a musician who recently joined forces to make a music video: Joe Pera and Dan Wriggins. Joe Pera is a stand-up comedian who's best known as the star and creator of Joe Pera Talks With You, the Adult Swim TV show about the beautifully modest existence of a middle-school choir instructor in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It's a show unlike anything else on TV, past or present, and it's a direct reflection of Pera's unassuming comedic persona: In other words, it's hard to tell where Joe Pera the character ends and Joe Pera the guy begins. It's also insightful, weird, and decidedly sweet. And while the show just finished its three-season run recently, it won't be the last the world sees of Pera. In fact, he's in the midst of a stand-up tour right now, and you can find dates at joepera.com. Oh, and he also just landed the role of James Bond, which you can hear all about on his recent Seth Meyers appearance. Seems like kind of a big deal. Yet Pera still has time to help out indie bands like Friendship, whose singer and songwriter Dan Wriggins is the other participant in today's chat. Friendship is made up of old friends—no surprise there—though the band is actually named after a town in Maine near where they grew up. They're currently based in Philadelphia, though Wriggins Zoomed in for this chat from Little Cranberry Island, Maine, where he also spent time as a kid. That island is also where Friendship and Joe Pera shot the video for “Hank,” from the band's brand new album, Love The Stranger. It's the band's fourth full-length and first for the always reliable Merge Records. It's a beautiful record full of straightforward but nuanced observations about life and love. Check out the video for "Hank" right here, which comes up in this chat quite a bit. As I said earlier, that “Hank” video comes up in this conversation, and it leads to Joe and Dan talking about craftsmanship, lobster fishing, and lots more. They talk about touring as a comedy act versus touring as a band, and about how each of them works hard to make their respective art look easy. Oh, and at the end of the chat, Joe finally reveals who his celebrity spouse is, so stay tuned for the whole thing! Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Joe Pera and Dan Wriggins for chatting. If you liked what you heard, they're both on tour—separately—right now. Please follow Talkhouse on your favorite podcasting platform, and check out all the great written features we've got on Talkhouse.com. This episode was produced by Myron Kaplan, and the Talkhouse theme is composed and performed by the Range. See you next time!

This week's Nose wants Sollozzo. If not, it's all out war. James Caan was nominated for an Academy Award for playing Sonny in The Godfather. Early in his career, he worked with Billy Wilder and Howard Hawks and Olivia de Havilland, and he went on to star in movies like Brian's Song, The Gambler, Freebie and the Bean, Funny Lady, Rollerball, Thief, Misery, and Elf. Caan died on Wednesday. He was 82. And: The Old Man is a spy thiller series on FX based on the 2017 novel by Thomas Perry. It stars Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, Alia Shawkat, and Amy Brenneman.

The Underground Table is expanding its discussions beyond the cinema! Join us for the first episode where we discuss a tv show, specifically Joe Pera Talks With You. It's a show that's hard to explain without using the words charming, wholesome, and quirky, but there's so much more to it than those adjectives. Join us as we engage with our first series and dissect what makes Season 1 so special. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/undergroundtablepodcast/message

Returning guest Hayley returns to talk about the best TV shows of 2021!  We talk about Succession, Joe Pera Talks With You, Ted Lasso, WandaVision, Only Murders in the Building and many more!  It was so much fun! NOTE:  Due to Internet issues, there are bits when we couldn't hear one another near the end, which makes for some awkward silences and moments where we're both talking at the same time. I apologize for any audio unpleasantness in this section. But it's all worth it for Hayley's passionate treatise on Ted Lasso. Brought to you by the best sponsor of every year, teesbysummer.com!

In de ronde 'Kopje rooibos maken met een They-I' moet Daan Engels-Nederlandse kookspullen vinden. En in de ronde 'WAAR hoorden zij Engelen zingen?' is de vraag heel simpel: is het een aartsengel?

We're back after a month of Nico's life basically exploding! Hamish has been subjecting himself to the live action Cowboy Bebop and it is rough. Joe Pera Talks With You is the most earnest show on TV. Limp Bizkit Still Sucks. Shin Megami Tensei V seems to be very good at what it does even though the Switch can't handle it. Forza Horizon 5 is exactly the same as Forza Horizon 4 with even more shite patter, and it's one of the best games of the year. The Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Definitive Edition is the kind of mess that's hard to even comprehend. Nico chops lemons. Call of Duty Vanguard thinks you are the dumbest piece of sh*t on the planet. Putting Never Meant on a mixtape and learning every System of a Down song on guitar to impress girls in high school. Inscryption is weird and cool and we can't really talk about it for spoiler reasons. Reach up and grab a bean! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/writingongamescast/support

Joe Pera Talks with You is one of the quirkiest shows on television right now. Comedian Joe Pera portrays a fictionalized version of himself. He's a soft-spoken, unassuming, kind person. Each episode involves Joe, a middle school choir teacher, guiding viewers through his life in the city of Marquette, Michigan. He talks about the simple things in life. It's quickly becoming one of our favorites here at Bullseye. Joe Pera Talks With You is back for season three. We're revisiting our conversation with Joe from last year, from when he had just wrapped season two. Joe Pera talked about doing comedy at his own pace, sleeping in a twin bed well into his twenties and why he enjoys casting non-actors in real locations. Plus, why he considers falling asleep to be a totally acceptable response to his performances. This interview originally aired in January of 2020.

Joe Pera isn't someone with a musical background, but he plays one on TV. The incomparable actor and comedian is the star and namesake of Joe Pera Talks With You, an acclaimed Adult Swim series that focuses on the life and lessons of a soft-spoken and cordial middle school choir teacher in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Though the show's topics — that touch on everything from bean arches to lighthouses to breakfast foods and everything in between — vary from episode to episode, music actually plays a surprisingly significant part in the series. On top of the main character's occupation itself, songs have been specifically written for Joe Pera Talks With You, and one unforgettable episode even focuses entirely on a song by The Who. Recently, during his press blitz leading up to the show's Season 3 premiere on Nov. 7, Pera spoke with My First Band host Tyler Maas about some of Joe Pera Talks With You's musical moments, what to expect from the new season, the experience of filming in Milwaukee and the U.P., and the work composer Ryan Dann and other crew members have done to add to the emotion and the absurdity of on-screen moments. Over the course of the conversation, Pera talked about bands he's listening to now, recent concerts he's attended and the inspiration for the "Baba O'Riley" episode. My First Band is sponsored by Mystery Room Mastering and Lakefront Brewery. The show is edited by Jared Blohm. You can listen to My First Band on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify and wherever else you get podcasts. You can also listen to rebroadcasts of previous My First Band episodes on WMSE every Wednesday from noon to 12:30 p.m. CST. Music used in this episode comes courtesy of Devils Teeth ("The Junction Street Eight Tigers") and Advance Base ("Your Dog").

Chuck wonders about the term "Montezuma's Revenge" and its origins, which leads to a discussion about legacy - is it better to be known for something gross or forgotten? Chuck pushes me on my fictional legacy. We read some listener emails, one of which forces us to dive into our knowledge of pop-punk songs and which ones we love. We talk about the recent weather event in Texas and how they affected our Lone Star Pals. Chuck opens up about the dynamic relationship between receiving public praise and dealing with private failures and that struggle. We then discuss the movie "Thunder Road," and how we feel about Jim Cummings. I tell Chuck all about the listener-recommended show Joe Pera Talks With You and how much I enjoyed it. I also mention Derek Delgaudio's In and Of Itself, but can't talk too much about it without spoiling things for Chuck. We then discuss the trailer for the new Mortal Kombat movie and our experiences with the Mortal Kombat franchise. From there, it's video game news - Tony Hawk coming to the Switch, a new documentary series about Nintendo - a quick step away to discuss Disney Plus' Parental Controls. We then discuss the upcoming documentary "Murder Among The Mormons" before closing with a discussion about a TV show based on the Playstation series of "Twisted Metal" games. - Brad MP3 Download

Even though violence, gore, and sex fill Adult Swim's airwaves, there are still wholesome rays of positivity that shine through the nihilism. Joe Pera Talks With You is almost anti-comedy in how simple and genuine it is. Spun off from his popular infomercial specials, Joe Pera's series looks at his various mundane passions as he tries to give the audience a brief education on these topics of his choosing. Pera's unique, gentle personality and the unusual comedic sensibilities of the show's creative team, Conner O'Malley and Jo Firestone, result in a program that is truly like no other.The first season of Joe Pera Talks With You made a strong impression, and season 2 only continues that goodwill and pushes Joe to more unexpected places. With the show having returned on December 6th, Den of Geek contributor Daniel Kurland had the opportunity to talk with Joe Pera about what's ahead, the powerful majesty of lighthouses, and what his dream episode would look like.
