Jen Kirkman: Just Keep Livin? is the best stand-up special I've seen in a while. Superb.

Thanks, MT, it was superb.  I never would have found it without your post.
Just watched it the other day, too. And, yeah, it's great!

Kirkman has a podcast as well.  I haven't listened yet but I did download an episode so it's waiting for me.

I listened to a couple of episodes way back, but it didn't really work for me. I should try it again. I always loved her spot on Paul F. Tompkins podcast (it was my favorite part of his show!).

I liked the podcast at first but I found it easy to drop when I needed to lighten my podcast load. Single-person podcasts in general aren't a great idea.

Yes, I don't think the solo podcast works very well. (Trying to think of one I do like that's just one person?)

It works when it's heavily scripted : history podcasts for example, like the Mike Duncan ones (The History of Rome, Revolutions).

Yes, good point. Or something like Karina Longworth's You Must Remember This.

I'm not totally into Black Mirror but I have liked a few eps in the past.
Which eps of S3 are the best and not disgusting in content?

Nosedive
Playtest
Shut Up and Dance
San Junipero
Man Against Fire
Hated in the Nation
Texan Down Under

I vote San Junipero and Shut Up and Dance.

but Black Mirror is notoriously divisive on the best episodes. They're all above-average television.
