A new podcast favorite

I've been trying out a bunch of new podcasts lately and one recent find I'm enjoying is Walkin' About.

The premise is simple: actor/comedian Allan McLeod goes on a long walk in a park, usually around Los Angeles, with someone from the world of comedy. Guests are usually people from the world of improv, or from LA comedy podcasts, or people who once appeared on Comedy Central's Drunk History show.

Each episode is about an hour long, and Allan and guest are funny while also occasionally having deep conversations. I really find the relaxed pace of a long, slow walk fun to listen to, and you can hear the soft crunch of gravel beneath their feet in between stories and jokes.

It's amusing without sounding like anyone is trying too hard to be funny, relaxing to listen to, and I always learn something more about my old haunts in Los Angeles, while at the same time hearing new things about guests I've only known from TV shows or movies.

My favorite episodes so far:

• Eugene Cordero from Lower Decks. The Good Place, and a million other things
• Lauren Lupkus from every comedy podcast ever and many TV shows
• Paul Rust, a voice on The Great North, one of my favorite animated shows these days

Anyway, give it a try if you're looking for a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend an hour wearing headphones.
