Podcast: Jordan, Jesse, Go!
I’ve been listening to a lot of the podcast called Jordan, Jesse Go! lately, and I’m a bit uncertain as to why. Certainly the show has its enjoyable qualities, which would encourage an occasional — or even weekly — listen. It consists of about an hour of gabbing between two friends. The first is Jesse Thorn, who also hosts The Sound of Young America, a very good interview show that, from the sound of things, may soon be changing its name. The second is Jordan Morris, a comic performer and occasional television show personality. The two have spent years making each other laugh, starting with a radio show at their college radio at UC-Santa Cruz, and so the show is regularly funny. They have frequent guests, often drawn from LA’s standup comedy community, a community that Jordan and Jesse could fairly be described as being boosters of. The results tend to be an atypically entertaining conversation between friends, at least in part because both Jordan and Jesse have great curiosity about the world, and like to discuss whatever is puzzling them the most at the moment.
