I know we've talked about The Office here before, but maybe not its follow up - Extras. The Guardian (UK) has been doing some nice podcasts of writers Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant with hilarious Karl Pilkington.
If you got a few minutes it is ridiculous.
I'm glad you liked it. I only hope that others dont let the half hour format keep them away. these are jewels.
Ricky Gervais Meets... Larry David. Scroll down to 22:15. Also at 23:20, we have Ricky Gervais: Politics. Now, if I only lived in Britain or knew someone who would download them for me.

Thank you thank you thank you, pablo. I finally listened to the first of the podcasts and I'm excited to hear that it reunites my favorite team. It is awesome that they're making new episodes because I was getting to the end of those realaudio archives.
Listening to this one, I remembered what a realist bent this show has. Karl always wanders (unintentionally) into some story about anti-evolution or supernatural happenings and Ricky and Steven rip on him from a realist and rational perspective. Fucking hilarious and truly satisfying.
(On vampires and spirits:
Karl:"What would it though for you to go, 'Oh, I'm actually a believer now'."
Ricky: "It's like you saying 2 and 2 equaled 5. I can't. It's a necessary truth that it doesn't. I'd have to go back and fundamentally disagree with what I think 'twoism' is. Twoness and fiveness.")
"OH CHIMPANZEE THAT! monkeynews."
