Paul F. Tompkins and Ayo Edebiri. Photo-Illustration: Vulture, Getty Images and Netflix The comedy-podcast universe is ever expanding, not unlike the universe universe. We’re here to make it a bit smaller, a bit more manageable. There are a lot of great shows, and each one has a lot of great episodes, so we want to highlight the exceptional and the noteworthy. Each week, our crack team of podcast enthusiasts and specialists and especially enthusiastic people will pick their favorites. We hope to have your ears permanently plugged with the best in aural comedy. Hollywood Handbook — The Podcaster’s Promise Sessions: Volume One with Paul F. Tompkins and Ayo Edebiri March is special in the Hollywood Handbook schedule, marketed as the one month a year where hosts Hayes Davenport and Sean Clements put effort into the recordings and producer Kevin Bartelt lands them actually famous guests to whom they can put in effort. Arguably, though, the boys made bigger waves this year when they doubled down on their own Flagrant Ones Patreon and leapt from the Earwolf ship in a group including Off Book — and longtime shared presence Dana Wickens, who has since been outspoken about the exodus. And while Paul F. Tompkins and Ayo Edebiri are both “Try Month” veterans, it makes sense that Chef Kevin might struggle in the early days of this independent period to secure the dream guests like Nathan Fielder, Tim Robinson, or Bob Odenkirk that he admits to reaching out to. Instead, Hayes and Sean are reimagining “Tri [ sic ] Month,” beginning with an early draft of their prestige narrative program The Podcaster’s Promise , set in the year 3010 under President Crooked Media (and Dax Shepard is alive). Mix the goofy premise with Earwolf insiders like PFT and Ayo, who are willing to cryptically dish on the fracturing business of comedy podcasting, and this month is off to another great start. — Noah Jacobs Listen: Spotify | … [Read more...] about This Week in Comedy Podcasts: The Podcaster’s Promise

Meghan Markle lived in Toronto when she filmed Suits The Globe and Mail reports that Meghan's neighbours in Seaton Village became accustomed to seeing paparazzi outside her house. However, the site reveals that those hoping to look around Meghan's former  home will be vetted by the property company Freeman Real Estate. Broker Daniel Freeman told the website that potential buyers will be asked for ID, adding: "There are no traces of royalty in the house, except that it's a very fine residence... she had good taste," says Mr. Freeman.
