Also don’t forget that tonight is: The May 8, 2012 Pod F. Tompkast Twitter-based Listening Party #PFTparty

Quick rundown for anyone who missed the last one: Everyone goes to http://time.is/ and start playing this latest episode of the Pod F. Tompkast at 9PM (eastern), and there is a Twitter hashtag, #PFTParty, and yeah, it’s like when you go on Twitter and everyone is talking about the Oscars, or the Superbowl, but in this case, it is Podcastings Night To Shine™

Countdown clock and details here: http://party.trackpft.com/

So the latest Pod F. Tompkast is the official 300th podcast tracked! A truly impressive feat in the world of podcasting. Other people maybe have done 300 episodes of their own podcast, but making this many guest appearances is crazy, and almost certainly unprecedented.

I don’t think this is listed on the site, but these 300 appearances are spread across 78 different podcasts. How many people have even listened to 78 different podcasts, much less appeared on them? It’s wild.

sarapocock:

Happy 300 Podcast Appearances, PFT! Thank you so much for the hundreds of hours of free comedy!

I’m not sure what etiquette to follow when congratulating a person on this particular milestone, but I’d like to take this opportunity to reiterate how very, very much I love the work of Paul F. Tompkins. He is hilarious and brilliant and sincere. Listening to someone who is so clearly a master of his craft inspires me to work harder and become a better artist, too.

I’m looking forward to the next 300.

Well with @PFTompkins being on the new @ComedyBangBang , we are now tracking 299 episodes. It’s almost time to whip out this classic twitpic, that was originally for the 300 hour milestone:

Actually, this is the only time I will link it, and mostly because of the amazing Photoshop work putting the decimal in 3000 to make it 300.0, how about someone celebrates THAT. Oh also, I just remembered, I am pretty sure that tie and handkerchief are from an actual photo of PFT, not the movie poster. That is some pure Malcolm Gladwell 10,000 hours style Photoshop mastery right there. Sorry to upstage the 300 episodes thing!!!!

Paul F. Tompkins: Hubris!: A milestone of sorts. »

I *WISH* I was young.

This nice young mentally ill person at TrackPFT.com has been keeping tabs on all my podcast appearances. Today’s episode of Doug Loves Movies takes it up to 298. I know for certain that an appearance I recently made on one of my favorite podcasts will be released Monday.

Unless there’s…

298 appearances! With today’s appearance on Doug Loves Movies, @PFTompkins is now only 1 podcast appearance away from the point at which his next podcast will the 300th podcast appearance he has made. So remember that magic number: 1, and then remember that when we hit that magic number, it will only be 1 more number until we hit the magic number, 300.

On Doug Loves Movies, by the way, PFT appears as himself, Cake Boss, and Ice-T.

An email about a book Paul F. Tompkins has mentioned on a couple of podcasts

Just received this email:

Hey,

I have a peculiar question that’s a slight detail in the realm of PFT podcasting and I figure that if anybody knows the answer, you will. PFT once spoke about his addiction to nicotine during an interview and how he decided to quit smoking after reading a certain self-help book. I remember the interviewer chiming and saying he had also read the same book and quit for good afterwards. Someone in my family has finally made the decision to stop and I’d like to pick this book up for him. Does this ring any bells? Thanks!

-Mike

Well, it so happens that I do know what book this is, because I heard PFT mention it on, I am pretty sure, two different podcasts, and I looked it up and read a bunch of Amazon reviews about it, because I was wondering if I could apply anything from it to losing some weight. Answer: undetermined. But anyhow, here is the link, I figured I would post it on the Tumblr page, because if I looked it up, and if Mike wanted to look it up, surely someone else will someday be searching “Paul F. Tompkins smoking book” or something and find this. It is called “The Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Join the Millions Who Have Become Non-smokers Using Allen Carr’s Easy Way Method”, come on Mike, how did that name not stick in your head, it’s so catchy! Here is what it looks like:

Wow, someone who doesn’t want to be named sent this: @PFTompkins in sweats. Do I smell the start of a new Tumblr meme?

Maybe I should have waited till the 300th episode to post this, oops!!

Also if anyone wants to write any guest posts for TrackPFT.tumblr.com giving their thoughts on the 300 episodes accomplishment, just let me know, I will post them. It can be like those things where celebrities make videos saying congratulations to their friend celebrities, uhh when does that happen.. you know the thing I mean right? Okay let me know, I’ll post those, unless they are terrible.

Oh man, imagine if everyone sent in webcam videos of themselves congratulating PFT! That would be pretty grotesque I think and crazy haha.

There have been 5 new @PFTompkins podcasts since MONDAY!Just tracked appearances on:

- A Bit of A Chat With Ken Plume

- The Dead Authors Podcast

- StarTalk

- Comedy Bang Bang

- The Thrilling Adventure Hour

This is code red! The count is 297 appearances. WHAT WILL BE 300? Will it be the apparently-recorded new Pod F. Tompkast? Will it be something else? What are the common ones he hasn’t been on lately? Will it be the Todd Glass Show, Stop Podcasting Yourself, Who Charted? or Doug Loves Movies? Will it be something different altogether, maybe a new show he has never appeared on? Will he be on Never Not Funny? (I am just going down the list of shows he has been on now) Will PFT finally return to “The Shit Parade Show”, a podcast that always sits at the bottom of www.TrackPFT.com, annoying me every time I see it?

One thing is for sure, whatever he’s on, I will be there, tracking it, hopefully not a few days late or anything. It seems fitting that it’d be the Pod F. Tompkast, but who knows?
