Semi-OT: Harmontown is not in session

[Kevin M.]

Dan Harmon has ended his podcast after seven years. It had its ups and downs. The main negative, and what made me stop being a regular listener a while back, were a lot of deeply racist comments made by guests on the show, mostly from some of Harmon’s friends who seemed inexperienced at speaking into a microphone, as well as the ramifications of saying stupid things into a microphone. 

Memorable highlights include semi-regular Greg Proops playing a talking unicorn named Tylenol With Codeine during their Dungeons & Dragons campaign, and “comptroller” Jeff Bryan Davis ability to resurrect any badly improvised segment with the perfect one-liner. 

But for me, the podcast was most noteworthy when they took it on tour across the country, and listeners and live audience members witnessed the complete collapse of the relationship between Dan and Erin. I’m still amazed they chose to release episodes where the two just stood on stage and fought. It was more real than any reality TV show. 

Listening to the last episode now. If you’ve never listened, it’s probably not worth checking it out now. But otherwise it’s funny and entertaining.
