Podcast Addict3 years agoDarthpnos- Cable’s golden era through the eyes of the people who made it
Stumbled on this show after John Mulaney promo’d his appearance and completely fell down the rabbit hole. As an elder millennial, these guests completely fall in the cultural sweet spot of my childhood/early adulthood. As good as the guests are, I’d listen to a show with just Doug if only to hear all the stories he has about his role in shaping cable programming and culture over the years.
