History

Stop Podcasting Yourself started independently on March 2, 2008, being distributed through iTunes and its blog. At the time, podcasting had not "sorted itself out yet". Originally, Clark and Shumka intended to do sketches on the show.[6] Due to its early start in the world of podcasting, the show is considered a pioneer for comedy podcast chat shows.[7]

On March 22, 2010, it was announced that the Vancouver-based podcast would join Maximum Fun.[8]

On April 15, 2016, the hosts went on to sprout the podcast and album Our Debut Album.

Format

The podcast's segments include "Get to Know Us" (where they get to know the guest) and "Overheard", where they discuss humorous things they've overheard (or sometimes overseen) in their day to day lives. The podcast is released every Monday and is the only Canadian show on the Maximum Fun network.[2] Other than those two segments, the show has "little in the way of format". Despite this, the show has been described as having a consistent "tone, and speed ... whether the guest is a famous LA comedian, or a smaller local one".[6] The show is also consistent in releasing episodes. As of 2016, the show had only missed two weeks since debuting.[7]

The show is usually recorded at Shumka's home studio in Vancouver.[9] Its listeners are referred to as "bumpers" after Shumka mistakenly referred to the audience that way in episode 1.
