Podcast But Outside is a Los Angeles–based comedy video podcast started in April 2019 by co-hosts Andrew Michaan and Cole Hersch.[1] The title refers to the setting of the podcast, taking place in public, often in the streets of greater Los Angeles.[2] The show seeks to interview random passersby, sometimes alongside invited special guests. A videographer, referred to as "Intern,"[3] records the interviews, made available on YouTube and, for premium content, Patreon.[4] In 2019, Vulture.com awarded the show with best video podcast among comedy podcasts.[5] According to its hosts, it is the only podcast recorded outside.[6]
Content
[edit]The hosts employ "deadpan humour, often bordering on satire."[1] The edited video often shows "zoom-ins, graphics, and flashbacks to past episodes" for further entertainment.[3][5] Reoccurring gags are the hosts "lying about their ages, and bleeping out other podcasts’ names because they are competition."[3] There is an estimated 5–10% success rate in courting passersby to agree to an interview.[7] Upon completion of the interview, guests are customarily given a single US dollar as well as a sticker for their participation.[1] During the COVID-19 lockdown, the show took to Omegle and featured a dating competition and video therapy sessions.[6]
The show's 100th episode featured actor Jon Hamm, "a guest they’[d] been manifesting since the early days of the pod."[8][6] After this the podcast began to feature live indoor shows in a similar format, with guests recruited by Intern from nearby streets.[9] The show's Christmas 2021 episode featured actor Adam Scott.[9][10]
