It’s hard to say which comedy podcast was the first because any moron with a microphone can make one that only his mom listens to, but The Ricky Gervais Show technically existed before podcasting. It began as a radio show in 1997 before the TV star transitioned in 2005 to the pod, which is basically just the modern version of entertainment radio, which is where all TV comedy comes from.
