U Talkin’ Podcast Encyclopedia

Podcasting With Scott Aukerman, Scott is the co-host and co-creator of the Earwolf podcast U Talkin’ U2 To Me, launched in February 2014. [32] The series is introduced at the outset of each episode as "the comprehensive and encyclopedic compendium of all things U2," though it generally uses discussion of the band as a jumping off point for improv and absurdist humor. In February 2018, Scott and Aukerman launched another podcast in the same format, this time covering the career and work of the band R.E.M., titled R U Talkin’ R.E.M. Re: Me?. A third podcast, R U Talkin’ RHCP Re: Me?, debuted in July 2020, in which Scott and Aukerman discuss the Red Hot Chili Peppers; the podcast's format was almost immediately abandoned in favor of discussing Talking Heads and, as of the second episode, was renamed U Talkin’ Talking Heads 2 My Talking Head. In September 2023 the show began to focus on discussing the work of Bruce Springsteen, and was renamed U Springin’ Springsteen On My Bean?

A Wikipedia-style screenshot describes the absurdly evolving podcast series hosted by Scott Aukerman, whose title and subject keep changing from U2 to R.E.M., Red Hot Chili Peppers, Talking Heads, and Bruce Springsteen. The joke is the increasingly convoluted wordplay in the podcast names and the format’s willingness to abandon one band for another almost immediately, making it a reaction to escalating absurdity or needless rebranding.
